back pain problem in kothrud

Cervical spondylosis is also called cervical osteoarthritis. It is a condition involving changes to the bones, discs, and joints of the neck. These changes are caused by the normal wear-and-tear of aging. With age, the discs of the cervical spine gradually break down, lose fluid, and become stiffer. Cervical spondylosis usually occurs in middle-aged and elderly people. As a result of the degeneration of discs and other cartilage, spurs or abnormal growths called osteophytes may form on the bones in the neck. These abnormal growths can cause narrowing of the interior of the spinal column or in the openings where spinal nerves exit, a related condition called cervical spinal stenosis. Cervical spondylosis most often causes neck pain and stiffness. Ayurveda can treat spondylitis in safe and simpler way. There are three principles for the Spondylitis treatment in kerala Ayurveda: 1. Reduction of the inflammation in tissues – Panchakarma treatments 2. Increasing blood circulation in that area – External application like massages 3.
