Cervical Spondylitis
Cervical Spondylitis
Cervical spondylitis occurs due to the degeneration (wear and tear on account of aging) of the vertebrae, inter-vertebral discs, and ligaments in the neck or cervical spine. Nowadays, using computers and smartphones for a long time is one of the most common causes of cervical spondylitis in young people.
Cervical Spondylitis is also known as arthritis of the neck, degenerative osteoarthritis, or cervical osteoarthritis. The cervical spine starts at the base of the skull bone. The cervical spine (neck) consists of seven vertebrae (bones). Intervertebral discs separate these vertebrae. Intervertebral discs contain a gel-like substance which functions as a cushion between the vertebrae. Various muscles and ligaments are attached to the vertebrae that help in the smooth movement of vertebrae.
Nerves from the spinal cord pass through the vertebrae and reach your shoulders, neck, arms, and upper chest. Cervical spine stabilizes the neck and allows the smooth movements of your neck from side-to-side, forwards, and backward. The function of the cervical spine is like a shock absorber, and it helps in maintaining body posture. Over a period, as your age advances, this natural shock absorber starts to degenerate.
In Cervical Spondylitis, the intervertebral discs get thinner, dehydrated, and lose their ability to absorb a shock. The edges of the vertebrae develop bone spurs known as osteophytes. Initially, the patients may not experience symptoms at all, while a few may experience pain and stiffness in the neck, shoulder, and hands. These symptoms occur due to the inflammation of soft tissues and ligaments between the vertebrae and due to the formation of osteophytes. Later, these changes can put pressure on nearby nerve roots resulting in pain, tingling sensation, or numbness in the upper extremities. The degeneration of vertebrae, intervertebral discs, and abnormal growth (osteophytes), later, can cause narrowing of the spinal column (opening where spinal nerves exit) leading to a condition called cervical spinal stenosis or spinal c.nal stenosis.
How can Homeopathy help in curing Cervical Spondylitis?
Homeopathy is highly recommended for chronic diseases like Cervical Spondylitis. An individualized approach in homeopathy is highly effective in treating Cervical Spondylitis and that too without any side effects.
- Homeopathy provides you effective relief in pain and stiffness of the cervical spine.
- Homeopathic medicines reduce the inflammation of the disc and ligaments.
- Hence, homeopathy improves the mobility of your neck and hands.
- If a patient has nerve root compression, the regular use of homeopathic medicines shows improvement in the relief from tingling sensation and numbness.
- Homeopathic medicines are deep-acting and, hence, they control the further process of degeneration. Homeopathy controls the progression of the disease and prevents further destruction of the disc and vertebrae to some extent.
- Gradually, homeopathy reduces the need for painkillers. Eventually, you can stop taking painkillers.
- Homeopathy is safe, non-toxic, and non-habit-forming even when taken for a long duration.
- If augmented with physiotherapy, yoga, and other measures, homeopathy shows excellent results in Cervical Spondylitis.
