Cervical Spondylosis and How it is Cured with Ayurvedic Karmas
Introduction to Cervical Spondylosis
Cervical spondylosis is a common term to describe the spinal disc’s wear and tear issues present in our neck. The problem is common among aged people. The reason for this is that with consistent shrink and dehydration of the disks, osteoarthritis signs develop to cause bony projects across the bones’ edges i.e. bone spurs.
Bone Spurs or Bone Overgrowth
Bone spurs or bone overgrowth takes place when the human body tries to grow extra bone to enhance the spinal strength. However, the extra bone may press the spine’s delicate areas, like the nerves, and spinal cord, which results in mild to severe pain.
Herniated Discs
Spinal discs usually develop cracks, which leads to the leak of the disc’s internal cushion material. The material presses on the nerves and spinal cord to cause pain across the arm, arm numbness, and other similar types of symptoms
Dehydrated Spinal Discs
Your spinal bones have spinal discs, which are pad-like and thick cushions, which absorb the shock of twisting, lifting, and other activities. These gel-type materials present in discs may dry out with time, which force rubbing together of your bones or spinal vertebrae to make your spine and neck pain.
Ligament Stiffness
Ligaments refer to the tough cords, which connect the spinal bones. These cords become stiff with time, which forces your neck to feel tight and affects the neck movement.
Heavy Lifting or Repetitive Movements
A few of the hobbies or occupations involve heavy lifting or repetitive movements, which apply extra pressure on your spinal area leading to wear and tear issues..
