See how we treat this →Chronic joint pain isn't simple “wear and tear.” Beneath the pain, the joint environment degrades — cartilage thins, the joint space narrows, inflammation becomes self-sustaining, and the tissue's nourishment is disrupted[1][2]. The conventional path manages this in stages: painkillers, then anti-inflammatories, then injections, then — eventually — surgery. Each step targets the pain or replaces the part. None asks the question that decides everything: what is driving the breakdown, and can it be slowed and managed before it gets to the operating table?
In Ayurvedic terms, these are Vata disorders at their root — and that is exactly where the Orthiva Protocol works.
The conventional path
The Orthiva Protocol branches off earlier — a doctor-led attempt to treat the cause and manage the condition before the operating table. It complements your medical care; it does not replace it.
The Orthiva Protocol
A doctor-led, 180-day programme. Six clinically-sequenced phases, customised to your body, delivered and tracked by our doctors.
Root-cause diagnosis — why the joint is failing, not just where it hurts — combined with your MRI, X-ray and blood reports.
Settle the underlying inflammation and metabolic imbalance driving the condition.
Improve circulation and tissue readiness so treatment takes effect and lasts.
The core: hands-on, doctor-administered therapy delivered directly to the affected joint or region.
Reinforce the joint's strength, stability and movement so the result holds.
A maintained protocol over the following months turns short-term relief into a lasting result — the step most treatments skip.
Tracked, every step. Pain, mobility and function are measured in the Era app and your protocol is adjusted to how your body responds. Never a black box.
What the research shows
The therapies and formulations in the Orthiva Protocol have been studied in peer-reviewed clinical research — including randomized controlled trials — using the same internationally recognized measures modern medicine uses: the WOMAC osteoarthritis index, the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain, and the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) for back pain.
The hands-on difference
The Orthiva Protocol is delivered through in-clinic Ayurvedic therapies administered by Kerala-trained therapists under doctor supervision — localised medicated-oil therapies for the affected spine, knee or neck, therapeutic fomentation, full-body oleation, and classical Panchakarma procedures. Your specific therapies, their sequence, and your medicines are determined at consultation — customised to your case, never a fixed kit.

Patient Story
I had been living with rheumatoid arthritis for 6 years. A few weeks into treatment at Dr. Era Ayurveda, my morning stiffness dropped from about 3 hours to under 20 minutes. I have reduced my medication — with my rheumatologist's guidance.
