Cervical Spondylosis

Cervical Spondylosis is one of the most painful and difficult to manage condition. It is a degenerative condition that affects the cervical spine.

Caused by the wear and tear due to age and joint diseases, it affects the bones, discs and joints in the neck. The disc loses the fragment, moisture and becomes stiff.  It also affects the bone strength and leads to osteophytes, which add more pressure to the spinal nerves.

In ayurveda, it is termed as ‘Grivasandhigat Vata’ triggered by aggravated vata and ama (accumulation of toxins). Ama not only affects the stomach but also creates multiple blockages in the micro-channels in your body.  Accumulation of Vata dosha and Ama in the neck, block the energy channels in the neck region.

Neck is the supporting organ which connects the head and body. When it lacks stability and strength, it leads to a lot of complications. In many cases, it majorly also affects the day to day activity.

Although western medicines have no cure or treatment for any degenerating condition, Ayurvedic therapies help!

Ayurvedic Therapies

The treatment aims at nourishing the body to balance the vitiated Vata and eliminate Ama. Physical therapies include Panchakarma therapy for detox.

Greeva Vasti

The term Greeva refers to the neck area of the body and Vasti refers to cleansing the body by administering medication in the form of enema. Although Greeva vasti is not a procedure where the medicated oil administered through rectum, it is retained on the back of the neck. Warm oil is retained in the lower back for around 30 to 45 minutes, which alleviates the pain, nourishes the tissues and bones and reduces the stiffness.
