Pain management?
Pain management is the medical ability to initially grapple (control) the pain from increasing (aggravating), then decreasing the level of pain to bearable levels and finally doing away with pain for the suffering patient.
The management of pain is a medical specialty that has been formed to attend mainly for treating all types of pain such as musculoskeletal, spinal and neuropathic pain disorders.
Dr. Madhavi Borkar informs that the first 3 steps are very important in attending to pain. They are:
- Detecting pain issues early
- Diagnosing pain problems accurately
- Delivering pain relieving Ayurvedic treatments & therapies immediately.
Pain in any form, can be very irritating, weakening and causing frustration in an otherwise healthy & happy life. Pain can interfere with normal & common day to day activities such as sleep, work and play. Chronic pain has the negative ability of declining your standard of life and effecting the quality & quantity of time one can spend with family and friends.

Ayurvedic Pain Management?
Pain is a symptom of some physical or mental hurt or due to some disease. In Ayurveda, it is identified as SHOOLA ROGA. Pain can be in any region of the human body, but it is caused due to the aggravation of the VATA humor.
Viddha Agni
Viddha is a Sanskrit word and it means, “TO PIERCE” or “TO PENETRATE” into something. Agni means Fire.
Viddhaagni is the ancient Ayurvedic technique of using stainless steel surgical disposable needles combined along with heat element. Viddhaagni is a form of Indian Ayurvedic Acupuncture where a small and controlled electric current is passed through the needles to generate heat to the designated pain area. Through this electric stimulation, heat is generated and delivered along with the precision piercing of needles to reduce pain.
Dr. Madhavi Borkar assures that the practice of VIDDHAAGNI augments the use of piercing and penetrating heat to the painful area and this Ayurvedic treatment reduces & relives pain, thus restoring patient back to a healthy person. |
Viddhagni Points
Viddha in pain management is based on accurate selection of points. The site to be punctured is first encircled and points of pain are marked. Depending on the deft and shallowness, the needles are chosen. The bone, nerve and vessels in the area are spared.
One can do Viddha in shallowest skin thickness in APANGA or SHANKHA region or on heavily muscular area of buttocks or calf muscle. The only condition being to avoid is the contra indicated parts i.e. bones & nerves.
