Exploring Siddha's Solutions for Cervical Spondylitis Pain Relief Dr. Vishnuram. P B.S.M.S, D.Pharm
Cervical Spondylitis Cervical spondylitis, also known as cervical spondylosis, is a degenerative condition of the cervical spine (neck). It involves wear and tear on the discs and vertebrae in the neck, which can lead to symptoms like neck pain, stiffness, and sometimes pain radiating into the arms.
Key Points About Cervical Spondylitis: Causes Symptoms Diagnosis Treatment Prevention
Causes It is primarily caused by age-related changes in the spine. These changes can lead to the development of this degenerative condition. The primary causes include: Drying Out of Spinal Discs Development of Bone Spurs Impact on Vertebrae
Drying Out of Spinal Discs Over time, the spinal discs in the neck region may lose their hydration and elasticity. This drying out of the discs can result in reduced cushioning and flexibility
Development of Bone Spurs As the spine undergoes wear and tear, bone spurs, also known as osteophytes, may form. These bony projections can affect the alignment of the spine.
Impact on Vertebrae The changes in the discs and the development of bone spurs can affect the vertebrae's alignment and contribute to the condition's progression.
Symptoms Neck Pain Stiffness Headaches Arm Pain Numbness or Weakness
Diagnosis Diagnosing Cervical Spondylitis involves a comprehensive evaluation. Healthcare professionals use a combination of methods to confirm the condition, including: Physical Examination Medical History Imaging Tests
Treatment Treatment may include rest, physical therapy, pain medications, and in some cases, surgery to alleviate pressure on the spinal cord or nerves.
Prevention Maintaining good posture, regular exercise, and avoiding activities that strain the neck can help prevent or manage cervical spondylitis.
