What is Avascular Necrosis?

What is Avascular Necrosis?

Avascular necrosis or osteonecrosis is a painful disorder that occurs when a bone tissue dies due to the disruption of blood supply, it can occur in any bones but most commonly occurs  in the ends of long bones at weight-bearing joints, such as the hip, knee, and shoulder.Because healthy bone cells require a constant flow of blood, osteonecrosis can eventually result in severe arthritis and joint deterioration. Understanding the underlying causes of avascular necrosis is essential to understanding the Ayurvedic treatment for this medical condition. An inadequate supply of oxygenated blood to the bone tissue can result from any disturbance or injury to the artery's lining. This can be brought on by decreased circulation from trauma or harmful chemicals like alcohol usage, among other things. Ayurveda provides a range of efficient medicines to address circulatory issues related to the treatment of avascular necrosis.

Causes of Avascular Necrosis

A disruption in the blood flow to the femoral head results in osteonecrosis of the hip. Insufficient nutrition causes the femur head bone to deteriorate and eventually collapse. This leads to the breakdown of the articular cartilage covering the hip bones as well, which causes disabling arthritis. Although anyone can get osteonecrosis, those between the ages of 40 and 65 are more likely to get it. Causes of avascular necrosis that are known include:

Traumatic avascular necrosis

This is a potential outcome following a bone break or joint dislocation.

Nontraumatic avascular necrosis

When blood cannot reach your bone tissue due to an illness or medical condition, this occurs. The bilateral bones are frequently affected in cases of nontraumatic avascular necrosis.

Avascular necrosis of the hip can cause pain that is primarily felt in the buttock, thigh, or groin. The shoulder, knee, hand, and foot may also be impacted in addition to the hip.

Ayurvedic Approach to Treating Avascular Necrosis

Ayurveda states that all three doshas contribute to the development of Avascular Necrosis, with Vata dosha being the most dominant. The presence of Vata dosha in bones leads to degeneration of bone tissues, causing the onset of Avascular Necrosis. Ayurvedic treatment for avascular necrosis focuses on restoring dosha balance and clearing blocked channels. Deepana, panchakarma, and rukshana are the treatments linked to Avascular Necrosis. These treatments facilitate body detoxification, tissue nourishment, and the restoration of crucial links for proper operation. Additionally, it is recommended to follow a balanced diet and exercise routine to alleviate the impact of imbalanced doshas and prevent long-term symptoms of Avascular Necrosis.

Physiotherapy Treatment

Get Relief from Avascular Necrosis with expert physiotherapy

Usually, the doctor suggests starting physiotherapy for Avascular Necrosis. During the initial treatment session, the therapist will evaluate your pain level, joint mobility, and ability to perform tasks. Based on this assessment, functional goals will be established. Walking aids like crutches or a wheelchair will be introduced when the physiotherapist deems it necessary. The bone needs time to heal, so weight-bearing should be reduced in the early stages. To prevent swelling and enhance blood flow, your physiotherapist may use hands-on techniques called mobilizations, gradually moving the joint. To protect the joint, it is advised to follow a strengthening program that targets the muscles around it. Performing gentle exercises can enhance blood flow and support the healing process.
