How Ayurveda looks at it
Ayurveda describes degenerative joint pain mostly in terms of Vata (dryness and wear), and inflammatory pain in terms of Ama — poorly processed metabolic waste. Your doctor assesses which picture fits you.
Food matters in every Ayurvedic plan. See the vata diet chart.

Common questions
Should I stop my painkillers?
Don't change prescribed medicine without talking to the doctor who prescribed it. Tell your Ayurvedic doctor what you take and how often, so the plan fits around it.
Can Ayurveda help with arthritis?
It can help with things that affect how joints feel day to day — weight, activity, diet and local therapies. It cannot rebuild worn cartilage, and inflammatory arthritis such as rheumatoid arthritis needs a rheumatologist's care.
What about gout?
Diet matters a lot in gout, and our doctors can help with that. Gout is best managed together with a doctor who can monitor your uric acid and kidney function.
