Avascular Necrosis (AVN)
Avascular Necrosis (AVN), also known as osteonecrosis, is a condition where the blood supply to a bone is disrupted, leading to bone tissue death. It most commonly affects the hip joint, but can also occur in the knees, shoulders, and ankles.

- FAQ
How to heal avascular necrosis naturally?
Healing avascular necrosis (AVN) naturally focuses on improving blood circulation, reducing inflammation, and strengthening joints. At Chakrasiddh, we use holistic therapies and lifestyle guidance to help manage symptoms and slow progression without surgery.
When does avascular necrosis occur?
Avascular necrosis occurs when blood flow to the bone is interrupted, causing bone tissue to die. This can be due to injury, steroid use, alcohol abuse, or medical conditions. Chakrasiddh helps identify the root cause and supports recovery with non-invasive therapies
Which steroids cause avascular necrosis?
Long-term or high-dose use of corticosteroids like prednisone can increase the risk of AVN. At Chakrasiddh, we focus on safe, natural healing methods to reduce dependency on steroids and protect joint health.
Should I walk with avascular necrosis?
Walking with AVN depends on its stage and severity. Light movement may help in early stages, but overexertion can worsen damage. Chakrasiddh creates customized therapy plans, including safe exercise routines, to protect your joints.
Can AVN heal without surgery?
In early stages, AVN can be managed without surgery through holistic treatments, lifestyle changes, and proper nutrition. Many patients at Chakrasiddh have found relief and improved mobility using our non-surgical approach.
What happens if you don't treat necrosis?
Untreated AVN can lead to bone collapse, severe arthritis, and chronic pain. Early detection and treatment at Chakrasiddh can help preserve joint health and prevent long-term damage.
