Ayurvedic Treatment Spondylosis
Spondylosis is a general term for degenerative arthritic changes of
the spine, or more simply arthritis. Most degenerative changes of the
spine are part of the normal aging process, much like developing gray
hair. Everyone is expected to have some evidence of spondylosis as they
get older. Many times, patients who have spondylosis on imaging studies
do not have any symptoms. In fact, more than 90% of adults over 65 show
signs of arthritis on neck x-rays. These degenerative changes most
commonly occur at the vertebral body and openings for nerve roots. If
arthritis occurs at the facet joints, this is referred to as facet
syndrome.
Causes Of Spondylosis-
While we generally think of arthritis as age-related, these changes
can occur at any age. Heavy labor jobs, high impact sports, previous
neck or back injuries may all contribute to accelerated arthritis. There
appears to be a strong genetic component to arthritis and we know
that smoking quickly accelerates the degenerative process in the spine.
As we age, the bones and cartilage that create our spine develop wear
and tear. Vertebral discs become dehydrated and lose height, spinal
ligaments lose elasticity and stiffen, and bone spurs occur to try to
stabilize the spine. As the vertebral disc loses hydration and decreases
in size, the vertebral bones become closer together, narrowing the
space for the nerves to exit the spine. Our body attempts to repair the
loss of vertebral disc height by creating bone spurs.
Symptoms Of Spondylosis
Many people with arthritic changes will describe stiffness or
localized aching at the involved area. People may have difficulty
turning or bending their neck. Specific movements, including physical
activity or prolonged positioning, may exacerbate pain. Headaches may
originate in the neck. Crepitus or a grinding noise may be heard with
movement. Symptoms tend to improve with rest and are worst in the
morning and at the end of the day.
In severe cases, arthritic changes may place pressure on a nerve
root, pinching that nerve and causing pain, sensation changes or
weakness in that root. Pinching of the nerve is called radiculopathy.
If nerves are involved, people may sense radiculopathy as altered
changes in their arms or legs depending on the location of the
spondylosis. Degenerative changes can cause spinal stenosis and apply
pressure on the spinal cord. When the spinal cord senses pressure on it,
it may cause myelopathy: a wide variety of vague symptoms characterized
by global weakness, gait dysfunction, loss of balance, sensory changes
in the hands and feet, and loss of bowel and/or bladder control. Ayurvedic TreatmentSpondylosis Diagnosis
Diagnosis of lumbar spondylosis consists of a physical examination,
neurological examination (to assess sensation and motor function),
imaging studies (such as x-rays, CT scan, or MRI).
X-ray studies demonstrate much of the characteristic appearance of
spondylosis narrowing of the intervebral disc space and the neural
foramina (bony canals by which the spinal nerves exit the vertebral
column). Also visible is the presence of osteoarthritis and the
formation of osteophytes (small bone spurs) on areas of the vertebrae
adjacent to the discs and in the area of the facet joints.
Soft tissue injuries such as herniated disc and nerve root
impingement are best seen with advanced imaging modalities, such as
computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and
myelography. Ayurveda Management
Pain, tingling sensation, numbness, stiffness of the spine are major
symptoms of Lumbar spondylosis which is predominantly due to vitiated
Vatha dosha. According to Ayurveda, Lumbar Spondylosis can be correlated
to Kati Vata (one of the Sandhigata Vata) and back pain to Katishula or Prishta shula or Kati graha or Trika shulaor Trika graha.
Treatment in Ayurveda for Lumbar spondylosis is to bring the vitiated ‘Vata dosha‘ back to the state of equilibrium and thereby to the state of health.
The treatment modalities for treating this condition include
Panchakarma & Rejuvenation therapies, internal medications, diet and
lifestyle changes.
Therapies like Dhanyamladhara, Abhyanga swedam, Elakizhi,
Sarvangadhara, Vasti, kati vasti, Navarakizhi are commonly done
according to the severity of illness.
At PARIJATAK AYURVEDA, therapies are customized and are done
dedicatedly to achieve the maximum success rate. Duration of the
treatment may range from 4 – 6 week for ayurvedic treatment spodylosis.
This is a disorder in which the discs & vertebrae in the neck
degenerate and so has a pulling pressure on the spinal cord in the neck. Causes
With aging the bone of the spine overgrows and narrows the spinal
canal in the neck. As a result the spinal cord or the spinal nerve roots
are compressed causing dysfunction.
Symptoms
Cervical degeneration is commonly seen after thirty years of age.
The characteristic clinical features are shooting pain and weakness.
Leg movements may become jerky or spastic in advanced stages.
Parasthesla is also seen
In acute herniated cervical disc problem there will be pain and restricted movements and pain gets aggravated on movement
Treatment principle
Joints are the seat of kapha.
It is a vata kapha problem
The treatment management differs in acute cervical prolapse (avarana) and in degeneration (dhatu ksaya).
Treatment in acute phase The acute herniated cervical disc should be visualized as
kaphavruta vata, asayapakarsya gati and chronic degeneration should be
visualized as dhatuksaya. Hence the treatment is done accordingly. Medicines-

Parijatak – Slipped Disc Treatment in Nagpur. Slipped disc can be
termed with other descriptive names, whether your doctor calls it
herniated disc or PIVD or bulged disc, it all means the same thing.
Slipped disc is when one of the discs in between the vertebral bodies
starts slipping towards the anterior or posterior. While pain is
obvious, slipped disc can also cause difficulties in body movements.
Slipped Disc Treatment in Nagpur
A natural and non-surgical method of treating slipped disc is to opt
for Ayurvedic therapies. The ancient science of Ayurveda has a rather
interesting explanation of the condition. It believes that slipped disc
is a cumulative effect of disorders happening at three levels. In
Ayurveda, these three levels are Masta Dhatu as in muscles, Asthi Dhatu
or bones and Majja Dhatu or what lies in between the two. Throwing more
light on the causes of the condition, owing to poor diet, reckless
lifestyle or accident, the curvature of the spinal cord starts to
deteriorate. That causes the intervertebral discs to degenerate and that
in turn has a drying effect on the muscles which contracts and stiffens
in response. Slipped Disc Treatment in Nagpur
Parijatak and similar other clinics have taken the lead in the city
of Nagpur to treat slipped disc condition through a combination of
ayurvedic therapies. Names of a few such slipped disc treatments in Nagpur are:
Pathrapotala
Abyanga Swedam
Nasyam
Pizhichil
Choornapinda Swedam
Greevavasthy
Shirodhara
Navarakizhi
Kadeevasthy
Each of these therapies work towards healing inflammatory changes.
Adjustment therapies like oil massage releases spasms and even
decompresses nerves. Such slipped disc treatment in Nagpur
has proven to not only relieve the patients from the constant pain and
discomfort, but also strengthen the supportive tissues that lay around
the vertebral column.

The public in general , scientific , professional community, seems to
be largely convienced with traditionality and possible scientific
validity of the principles and approaches of Ayurveda as logical life
sciences and as a healing modality. Traditional practices in ayurveda
such as Panchkarma have become so popular that our Parijatak Kerala
Ayurvedic Panchkarma Centre regularly report waiting lists for patients
not only in India but also from abroad specially for Back Pain, slipped
disc, paralysis, avoid knee replacement with rejuvnation ,
detoxification, weight loss.
Ayurveda is not merely a science but it is a science of life. We
always focusing on indivisuals all problames not on disease which
patient complant to sort out complete cure with cause & concerned
factors that is Anshansh Kalpana . In states disease as a condition in
which body and mind are subjected to pain and misery. The measures
adopted to bring back equilibrium is called chikitsa . Chikitsa types :
Shodhana is a procedure which involves the elimination of vitiated
doshas in a complete manner, and thus recurrence of diseases is avoided
like back pain or any diseases. Shamana is the palliative treatment as
it does not eliminate vitiated doshas but only subsides them in there
own place called as shaman ,It is believed that there is no possibility
of relapse of the disease cured by shodhana chikitsa, where as the
diseases cured by shamana may recur, we are providing back pain
specialisation in India
Panchkarma is a unique modality of treatment consists of vamana ,
virechana , anuvasana vasthi , niruha vasthi , nasya karma ,
raktamokshana . Out of the above five karmas, Vasthi is the most
important constituent of panchkarma due to its multifocal effects. As
per the physiology of Ayurveda , Vata is the main factor where as pitta
& kapha are dependent on vata for their fuctions to be performed. (
पित्त पंगु कफ पंगु पंगवो मल धातव: )
Vasthi alleviates the morbid doshas and in addition to that, it
nourishes the body tissues. It is considered as the best remedy for
morbid vata as well as in some extent pitta & kapha also. Vyadhi
pratyeneeka Medicines can be used in the form of basti to treat that
particular vyadhi. This particular procedure cures diseases of all
doshas of all the three margas namely, shakha, koshta and the marmasthi
sandhi & it completely destroys the vitiated vata dosha by entering
into its moolasthana ( roots of vata & bones is pakvashaya / large
intestine ) which is responsible for all diseases, thus said to be ardha
chikitsa in all specially in back pian.

Ayurvedic Treatment Of Cervical Disc Bulge In Central India.
The bones (vertebrae) that form the spine in your back are cushioned
by round, flat discs. When these discs are healthy, they act as shock
absorbers for the spine and keep the spine flexible. If they become
damaged, they may bulge abnormally or break open (rupture), in what is
called a herniated or slipped disc. Herniated discs can occur in any
part of the spine, but they are most common in the neck (cervical) and
lower back (lumbar) spine. The seven vertebrae between the head and the
chest make up the cervical spine.
A herniated disc usually is caused by wear and tear of the disc (also
called disc degeneration). As we age, our discs lose some of the fluid
that helps them stay flexible. A herniated disc also may result from
injuries to the spine, which may cause tiny tears or cracks in the outer
layer (annulus or capsule) of the disc. The jellylike material
(nucleus) inside the disc may be forced out through the tears or cracks
in the capsule, which causes the disc to bulge, break open (rupture), or
break into fragments.
Herniated discs are much more common in people who smoke.
Although a Cervical herniated disc may originate from some sort of
trauma or injury to the cervical spine, the symptoms develop commonly
start spontaneously.
The pain in the arm from a cervical herniated disc results because
the herniated disc material ”pinches” or presses over a cervical nerve,
causing pain to radiate along the nerve pathway down the arm.
Symptoms Of Cervical Disc Herniation
Along with the arm pain, numbness and tingling can be present down the arm and into the fingertips.
Muscle weakness may also be present due to a cervical herniated disc.
The two most common levels in the cervical spine herniated disc are
the C5- C6 level(cervical 5 and Cervical 6) and the C6-C7 level. The
next most common are the C4-C5, and rarely the C7- T1 level may
herniate.
Brachial neuralgia is a radiating pain n the shoulders and upper arm
caused by damage to a nerve in the neck. When it occurs in the left
arm, it may be mistaken as a heart attack symptom, causing great concern
to the patient.
There are treatment options available for brachial neuralgia, and a
patient may meet with physical therapists, orthopedic surgeons, and
neurologists in the process of evaluating and treating the pain.
it is important o be aware that some treatments may take the time to
work, and the process of finding a solution can sometimes be lengthy.

Amavata- means accumulation of Ama (apakwa rasa) in joints leads to the disease called as Amavata.
This is very painful condition of arthritis.
Ama- Viated dosha causes agnimandya (sluggish diagestion).Due to
agnimandya the diagestive juice which was formed was Apakwa (unproperly
diagested/immature). This apakwa rasa goes through the circulation in
all over tissue and body organs. As it is immature tissue can take it
but can not metabolise it .Therefore it remains as it is in cell.This
Ama was sticky in nature.It blocked the all small channels in the body
due to this body cells and tissues do not get proper nutrition. And
this leads to the multiple damage of organs and tissues.
Causes-
Viruddha ahar sevan
Ati guru ahar sevan-Heavy food
Atibhojan/Ajirnashana- Intake of food in very much quantity or intake of food befor its diagestion
Mandagni-sluggish diagestion
Avyayama-Lack of exersice
Nischala-sedentory life style
Snigdha,madhur bhojanam-intake of oily food and sweet things
Diwaswap-Day sleeping
Intake of fermented food
Pathogenesis-
Due to all mentioned causes ama is formed in body.The viated Vata
pushes this ama to all over the body through blood circulation.This
viated vata pushes this ama mainly in to the shleshma sthana(kapha
Pradesh) i.e in joints and muscles.This viated vata and kapha was
combined with morbid pitta which cause the further corrosing of ama
.This corrosive ama destroys any tissue and organs with which it comes
in to contact.

Modern science has no known cure for rheumatoid arthritis. The role
of treatment in RA is to reduce joint inflammation and pain, maximize
joint function and prevent joint destruction and deformity.
Physical therapy has no curative effect for arthritis nor does it
alter the course of the disease process. The objectives of physical
therapy are analgesia, maintenance of normal ranges of motion in
involved joints, maintenance of normal power in muscles involved,
protection of joints against additional trauma that might result in
further structural deterioration / deformity. Amavata: The Ayurvedic Correlation To Rheumatoid Arthritis
In Ayurveda, the clinical correlation of RA is Amavata. The following
line of treatment is explained in the classical Ayurvedic texts for
Amavata.

Hyper means overactive.Overactive functioning of thyroid gland is known as
hyprthyroidism.In this disease thyroid gland releases too much of thyroid
harmone.
Anatomy-Thyroid gland is butterfly shaped.It is located in neck region,below
Adam’s Apple. These secreates thyroid harmone which helps in body
metabolism These harmone affects heart rate ,muscles,bones,menstrual
cycle and functioning of other harmones.
Hyperthyroidism can be related to Graves’ disease. This is an autoimmune
disease that affects the thyroid gland. Symptoms of hyperthyroidism
Severe
weight loss.
Rapid
heart rate or abnormal heart rate
Nervousness,
anxiety, or touchiness.
Tremors of
hands and fingers
Increased
sensitivity to heat.
Irregular
menses ith irregular flow
Increased
sweating.
Changes inbowel
An
enlarged thyroid gland
Muscle
weakness.
Sleep
distrubence
Increased
appetite.
Causes-
Mostly hyperthyroidism is caused by Graves’ disease. Two other common causes
for hyperthyroidism are:
Hyperfunctioning
(overactive) thyroid nodules causes formation of One or more nodules or
lumps in the thyroid gland which increases the production of the
thyroid hormone.
Thyroiditis-
Inflammation of thyroid gland due to ttack of viruses. This causes extra
thyroid hormone to leak into your bloodstream
According to Ayurveda, due to vitiation doshas,agni become
impaired.(Digestive fire) which leads to stroto-avarodh( blockage of
small channels) results in unproper functioning of thyroid gland.
Hyperthyroidism occurs due to vitiation of vata and pitta doshas. Impaired vayu
and pitta go into various channels and systems of the body and cause the
disease. The two vitiated doshasoverstimulate the gastric fire which leads to
excessive hunger. Over stimulation of Vata results in tremors in the extremities,
sleeplessness, nervousness and difficulty to concentrate the mind.
Panchkarma-
Virechan with Nishottar and triphala can help in treating hormonal imbalance
Bast- Basti with dashmool decoction and errand dashmoolasnehaulters the
