Most patients notice relief within 3–4 weeks of Panchakarma. Long-term stability develops over 3–6 months with proper diet and follow-up care.

Yes, therapies are gentle and tailored to the patient’s age, constitution, and coexisting conditions like diabetes or hypertension.

Can Ayurveda help avoid joint replacement surgery?

In many cases, early to moderate OA can be managed effectively without surgery through Panchakarma and regenerative therapies.

What diet should Osteoarthritis patients follow?

Prefer warm, soft, and oily foods like ghee, moong dal, rice, and cooked vegetables. Avoid excessive sour, dry, or processed foods that aggravate Vata.
