Spondylitis Treatment Nagpur

Spondylitis is a term used to describe a group of arthritis-based spine conditions that cause inflammation in the vertebrae and sometimes joints of the spine. Spondylitis generally occurs in the lowest section of the lumbar spine — the sacroiliac joint that connects the pelvis to the spine. One of the most common forms of spondylitis found in the SI joint is ankylosing spondylitis.
Patients diagnosed with spondylitis may experience a range of symptoms, including immobility of the spine, decreased the range of motion, chronic pain, and deformed spine curvature. If you suspect you have spondylitis, consult your physician and plan to discuss your symptoms and undergo spinal tests to determine the cause of your pain.

Causes of Lumbar Spondylitis

There is no known cause for the development of spondylitis. Currently, spondylitis is considered a rare disease. While there are no known causes of spondylitis, researchers have determined several risk factors that could contribute to an individual’s development of this condition:

• Genetic — About 90 percent of people with spondylitis have a specific gene, HLA-B27. Individuals with this gene are at a greater risk for developing spondylitis. Physicians have blood tests to determine whether or not you are a carrier of the HLA-B27 gene.

• Age — Most people with spondylitis developed the spine condition between the ages of 17 — 45. Researchers have no conclusion why this condition is present in young adults more than the older population, but research trends show that age plays a factor in an individual’s risk of developing this condition.

• Gender — Males develop Spondylitis much more frequently than females.

Genetics seem to play the most important role in determining whether or not an individual will develop spondylitis. If you have a family member who has been diagnosed with spondylitis, and you are experiencing the aforementioned symptoms, schedule an appointment with your physician to determine the cause of your pain.

Spondilities Treatment Nagpur

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 Kati shula 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 life style changes.
Therapies like Dhanyamladhara, Abhyanga swedam, Elakizhi, Sarvangadhara, Vasti, kati vasti, Navarakizhi are commonly done according to the severity of illness.
At PARIJATAK,  therapies are customized and are done dedicatedly to achieve the maximum success rate. Duration of the treatment may range from 4 – 6 weeks.

Griva Basti Therapay

Griva Basti Therapay


Quite similar to the katibasti the procedure of applying heat to the cervical region by retaining warm medicated oil with in a specially formed frame on this area is known by the name Grivabasti. This basti is indicated in painful conditions of the cervical region like cervical spondylosis, spondylolisthesis, disc prolapse, ankylosing-pond it is, rheumatoid arthritis etc. The prescription of medicated oil for the therapy is similar to the katibasti

.
To carry out the procedure of grivabasti the client is made to sit on a knee high stool, with his arm and head resting on a chest high table kept in front of him. In this position the trunk is slightly bent forwards, the neck is flexed and the forehead is resting on the table. This position of the client is most ideal for the grivabasti as the cervical region remains almost horizontal.GrivaBasti


 Therapay Griva Basti 

A frame of black gram paste is made around the painful cervical region. The junction between the frame and skin is sealed to make it leak proof. Warm medicated oil is poured into this frame. This warm oil heats the affected area inducing perspiration. This is followed by massage and fomentation to this part of the body. This is the procedure of grivabasti and is similar to the procedure of katibasti.

Ayurvedic Treatment Spondylosis

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.

Slipped Disc Treatment

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.

Cervical Disc Bulge Treatment

Ayurvedic Treatment Of Cervical Disc Bulge In Central India
About Cervical Disc Bulge:

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.

Causes Of Cervical Disc Herniation

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.

1. Although a Cervical herniated disc may originate from some sort of trauma or injury to the cervical spine, the symptoms develop commonly start spontaneously.
2. 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

1. Along with the arm pain, numbness and tingling can be present down the arm and into the fingertips.
2. Muscle weakness may also be present due to a cervical herniated disc.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
