SPONDYLITIS AYURVEDIC TREATMENT
Cervical spondylosis is caused by degeneration of
bones, discs – cartilage cushion between the neck bones and joints of the neck.
This condition is usually found in middle aged people and elderly. It is a wear
and tear disease. Neck pain, stiffness, headache, numbness, etc. This is one of
the diseases wherein Ayurvedic treatment has very good promise.
The neck bone structure consists of bones stacked
one over the other with sandwitch of disc cartilage in between. The triangular
– circular aperture within these neck bones (cervical bones) paves way for the
nerves from the brain to pass through. The branches of these nerves (nerve
roots) arising from through the back and sides of these bones form plexus
(merge and divide) and form different nerves. This complex arrangement of
nerves is called cervical plexus. These nerves spread on the sides to supply to
neck, face, back of the head, ears, shoulder and the full length of the arms.
The degenerating discs also become flat with
brittle edge causing nerve irritation. Nerve irritation leads to symptoms like
pain, numbness etc. The stiffness arises because of lack of cushioning between
the neck bones, causing a friction whenever neck is moved.
With ageing, the bones and the cushioning cartilage
disc start to lose strength. This makes the soft cartilage to thin, expand,
slip (called herniation of disc), touch and irritate the nerves.
This condition is also called Cervical osteo
arthritis. Another term Cervical spondylitis is used, when the patient has
active inflammation (redness, swelling, increase of temperature etc).
It is more commonly found in males of middle age
group. People who are under exertion, frequent travellers can end up with
trauma on neck bones, leading to spondylosis. Bad posture is another strong
etiological factor which results in the stiffness due to spondylosis.
