Agnikarma

About Agnikarma

Agnikarma is an ancient Ayurvedic para-surgical technique that involves the application of controlled, therapeutic heat to specific points on the body to relieve chronic pain, inflammation, and joint stiffness. This method is particularly effective for musculoskeletal disorders such as arthritis, sciatica, frozen shoulder, tendonitis, and other nerve or joint-related conditions. The procedure uses sterile, heated instruments applied with precision to targeted areas, promoting rapid pain relief, improved mobility, and accelerated healing with minimal discomfort and quick recovery. 

Agnikarma is performed by trained Ayurvedic surgeons following strict aseptic protocols to ensure safety, comfort, and optimal outcomes for patients
