Cervical Spondylosis

Cervical spondylosis is the name given to a condition characterized by the chronic degeneration of the cervical spine. It affects the intervertebral discs and the vertebral bodies of the neck. This is an extremely common disorder and gets worse with increasing age. The disorder affects over 85% individuals more than 60 years of age. Our completely natural treatment at Nirvana Naturopathyis devoid of any side effects. Our experienced naturopaths do not use any allopathic medicines or complex surgical methods for curing this condition.

Cervical Spondylosis – Symptoms and Causes

With the degeneration of spine, there is development of osteophytes which fuse together the vertebrae in order to reduce motion. Once these come in contact with the spinal cord or any nerve root, there can be various discomforting symptoms like headaches, pain and stiffness in neck, muscle spasm and more.

The condition usually results from dehydrated or herniated discs, stiff ligaments or bone spurs. It can result due to age-related wear and tear of the cartilage and the bones of the neck and backbone. Unlike standard treatment, our naturopaths do not have a readymade approach for curing the disorder. AtNirvana Naturopathy, we try to ascertain the actual cause of the disorder and then devise an individualized treatment for curing the condition.

Cervical Spondylosis – Diagnosis and Treatment

Conventional diagnosis generally begins with a physical examination, which is followed by imaging tests like Myelography, MRI, CT scan and Neck X ray. Nerve function tests, such as Electromyopgraphy (EMG) and nerve conduction study, are also used for diagnosis. However, we also take care of the family history, medical history and individual health condition of sufferers apart from their lifestyle and level of physical activity.

Treatment is usually carried out with complete natural methods, which include:

• Physiotherapy

• Dietary modifications

• Reduction of physical activity level

• Herbal therapy

• Massages

• Heat therapy

Poor dietary habits, stressful lifestyle and high level of physical activity that puts stress on the joints are some of the major reasons for Cervical spondylosis. Our natural therapies aim to find the actual cause of the problems and cure them from within.
