The spine is the structure that holds our body together. It is very important for our mobility and flexibility and provides the base for attachment, for our head, legs, and arms. The spine also contains the spinal cord and nerve roots that are responsible for passing messages through the body.
Ailments related to the back can vary from minor to severe, however, because most of our movement is dependent on the state of our spine, anything going wrong here can dramatically alter our life. You may have often heard people referring to their biggest support as their spine or backbone. This is a very apt comparison, anyone who has gone through a spine ailment can vouch for it!
Can back pain be caused by chakra imbalance? The answer is YES. Harboring negative emotions for a long period of time, accompanied by expressed or inhibited physical aggression, impacts lower chakras. One of the lower chakras impacted in such cases is the Basic chakra (root chakra) which is responsible for the muscular-skeletal system. The other chakra, which when impacted can cause back pain, is the Solar Plexus.
The back has a complex structure with a network of bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and discs. Any problem with any of these can result in back problems. Lets us look at some of the common back problems:
Muscles of your spine can become strained due to bad posture, overuse, and sometimes even due to stress. The easy solution to this is strengthening the muscles by exercising.
This is abnormal curvature or bending of the spine. It tends to start in childhood or adolescence. Physical symptoms of scoliosis include – uneven shoulders, body leaning to one side, uneven waist, one hip higher than the other, one shoulder blade sticking out more than the other, etc. Along with this it can cause back pain and lead to pinched nerves. Treatment includes physical therapy, bracing, and surgery.
Human spine is made up of bones called vertebrae, in between each vertebra there are rubbery discs that provide cushioning and absorb shock. When these discs move out of position or burst out of their casing, it results in a herniated disc. If the disc touches the nerves, it may cause back pain, pain in the arms or legs, numbness, tingling, and muscle weakness.
Physiotherapy is advised in most cases; however, some severe cases may need surgery.
It refers to weakened bones due to lower bone mass. Weakened bones in the spine can result in fractures, hunched posture, and collapsed vertebrae. You can maintain your bone health by eating a diet rich in calcium and Vitamin D.
This takes place when a vertebra in the spine collapses. Sometimes more than one vertebra may get fractured, that is called multiple compression fractures. This can result in pain, numbness, and weakness in arms or legs, deformity, and loss of height. The most common cause of this is osteoporosis. Physical therapy and pain medication can help in this case.
This condition occurs when one of the vertebrae of the spine slides forward and over the vertebra below it. If the slip is too far, it can press the nerves causing severe pain in the back, pain in the legs, and numbness. Most cases can be resolved by physical therapy and pain medication. Very severe cases may require surgery.
Chakras are energy centers that govern our physical, emotional, and mental health. They also play a significant role in our spiritual development. You must wonder how are they able to do this when most of us don’t even see them? Welcome to the world of subtle energy! Chakras exist in energy or ether form and are located in our energy field. Their main purpose is to regulate the flow of energy or “prana” in the body.
Our energy field also called our energy body has a direct correlation with our physical body. What happens in one also happens in the other, the physical, emotional, and mental aspects will mirror the state of the chakras and the energy body. To give an example if you have energy blockages in your basic chakra, over a period you may feel less energetic.This will reflect in your physical body as a lack of vitality and may even impact your ability to earn your livelihood or be gainfully employed.
Therefore, it is important to make sure our chakras are balanced, without any blockages. Clearing chakra blockages is approached in many ways. Some schools talk about meditation to balance the chakras, others approach it through physical and breathing exercises – pranayama and yoga practices, and there are some who may use crystals (naturally occurring stones) to balance chakras.
A very effective and advanced technique of chakra balancing is taught in Pranic Healing. The focus here is to cleanse the chakra blockages and energize the chakras by pumping in fresh energy. This not only streamlines the energy flow in the human body but also expedites the healing process. Pranic Healing talks about 11 major chakras and also teaches detailed use of color prana to heal physical and psychological ailments.
With a highly successful track record, it is practiced in more than 100 countries. If you would like to experience Pranic Healing visit here

Chakras that play an important role in your spine health include Basic chakra and Solar Plexus chakra. It is important to understand their functions on both physical and psychological levels to understand this better.
Also known by the name of root chakra it is literally that, our foundation. Located at the base of our spine, it is important for keeping us grounded, for our survival instincts, sense of security, and dynamic activities. The state of this chakra is one of the important factors in making money through your profession or business. This chakra also keeps us centered and practical.
On the physical level, it takes care of our muscular-skeletal system and is very important for the health of the spine.
As per Pranic Healing for any spine ailment, Basic chakra would need to be cleansed and energized with certain color pranas to ensure the chakra remains strong and the healing takes place rapidly. Negative emotions stored in the basic chakra for a prolonged period are the starting point of back-related problems. Often, we may not understand this until we are already suffering from it.
Pranic healing not only provides solutions to physical ailments but can also address psychological ailments. It can work on long-standing emotional issues and substantially reduce emotional blockages that are the root cause of many illnesses.
Located in the hollow area between your ribs, this is an important center for will, courage, ego, persistence and is needed for success in every field. On the flip side, it is also the center for emotions like anger, irritation, jealousy, revenge, insecurity, etc. When the negative emotions remain stored in your system for a long period of time, they travel to your Basic chakra and spine. This is how the spine and its surrounding structure gets impacted.
Pranic Healing can also help with fractures of the spine as there is a certain color prana that helps in cementing and cohesion, this makes fractures easier and faster to heal.
It is evident harboring negative emotions, in the long run, will create disease in our body. We mentioned already how back pain and spine ailments have their root cause in unaddressed emotional problems. To address emotional health issues and convert lower emotions into higher emotions, Pranic Healing also offers a meditation called Meditation on Twin Hearts.
This meditation helps you to transmute your negative emotions into compassion, love, and peace. The meditation on twin hearts tries to activate your heart and crown energy centers to bring in a feeling of harmony and oneness with all. The effect is cathartic and purifying.
With regular practice of this meditation, you will not only become more patient and have inner peace but will also become more productive and efficient at work. Your mind will be sharper, and you would have better clarity of mind, making you successful at whatever you do. Combined with this, a balanced energy body will manifest itself in the form of high energy levels, stronger body and fewer physical ailments.
Back pain may seem invincible, but with the support of chakra healing, you can put your fears to rest. Chakra/Pranic healing provides you a well-rounded approach by balancing your chakras and helps you address your emotional issues as well. This can be used in combination with an alternative or conventional medicine, attacking the problem from all angles. Those living in constant fear of back pain can now take a sigh of relief!
