A Revolutionary Approach at Ayureshmi Ayurveda Hospital & Wellness Centre, Kollam

In today’s world, orthopedic surgeries have become increasingly common for conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, cervical spondylosis, sciatica, frozen shoulder, and chronic low back pain. However, surgery is not always the only—or best—option. Many patients find themselves undergoing invasive procedures without fully exploring holistic, non-surgical alternatives.

One such groundbreaking alternative is the integration of Chiropractic and Marma Therapy, a unique protocol pioneered and practiced with remarkable success by at Ayureshmi Ayurveda Hospital and Wellness Centre, Kollam, Kerala. This integrated approach has already helped thousands avoid the surgeon’s table, offering healing, mobility, and renewed quality of life.

What Are Chiropractic and Marma Therapies?

Chiropractic Therapy

Chiropractic is a system of manual spinal adjustments, particularly

focusing on alignment of the vertebrae. It is primarily used to relieve pain and improve the function of the nervous system and musculoskeletal health.

Marma Therapy

Marma therapy is a 5,000-year-old Ayurvedic science that involves gentle stimulation of vital energy points (marma points) throughout the body. These points are junctions of muscles, veins, ligaments, bones, and joints—very similar in concept to acupuncture points. Stimulating them can unblock prana (life force) and activate the body's healing potential.

Integrative Method at Ayureshmi

At Ayureshmi Ayurveda Hospital, we developed a signature treatment protocol that blends ancient Marma science with modern Chiropractic precision. This hybrid method does not just mask symptoms—it corrects the root cause of many orthopedic and neurological issues.

Key Components of Protocol:

1. Comprehensive Diagnosis begins with an integrated diagnostic process combining:

   • Ayurvedic pulse diagnosis

   • Postural and spinal assessment

   • Neuromuscular evaluation

   • Imaging studies, if needed

2. Marma-Chiro Alignment Sessions

   • Gentle spinal and joint adjustments using Chiropractic methods

   • Simultaneous activation of marma points to restore pranic flow

   • Focused care on areas such as the spine, shoulders, knees, and sacroiliac joints

3. Ayurvedic Internal MedicationsCustomized herbal formulations to:

   • Reduce inflammation

   • Rebuild cartilage and tissues

   • Strengthen bones and nerves

4. Therapeutic Panchakarma

   • Basti (medicated enemas) to nourish the spine

   • Pizhichil (oil bath) for lubrication of joints

   • Kati Basti and Greeva Basti for localized spine rejuvenation etc....

5. Lifestyle and Rehabilitation Plan

   • Marma-based yoga stretches

   • Anti-inflammatory diet based on dosha assessment

   • Postural correction and ergonomic advice

Why This Method Works: The Science Behind It

• Structural Rebalancing: Chiropractic helps realign vertebrae, relieving pressure on nerves and muscles.

• Energy Flow Restoration: Marma activation unblocks energy channels (nadis), boosting circulation and healing.

• Deep Tissue Detox and Repair: Ayurvedic therapies cleanse cellular toxins and rebuild dhatus (tissues).

• Neuro-Muscular Reset: By recalibrating both nervous and muscular systems, chronic pain cycles are broken.

  

Clinical Success: 70% of Surgeries Avoided

• Disc bulge/prolapse

• Cervical spondylosis

• Sciatica

• Osteoarthritis of knees

• Frozen shoulder

• Ligament injuries

• SI joint dysfunction etc....

…can be completely avoided using his integrated protocol. Many patients walk into Ayureshmi with surgical reports—and walk out with relief, mobility, and hope without ever going under the knife.
