HOMOEOPATHIC REMEDIES FOR CERVICAL SPONDYLOSIS
Cervical spondylosis is a general term for age-related wear and
tear affecting the spinal disks in your neck. As the disks dehydrate and
shrink, signs of osteoarthritis develop, including bony projections along the
edges of bones (bone spurs).
Cervical
spondylosis is very common and worsens with age. More than 85 percent of people
older than age 60 are affected by cervical spondylosis.
Causes
As you age, the bones and
cartilage that make up your backbone and neck gradually develop wear and tear.
These changes can include:
·
Dehydrated
disks. Disks act like
cushions between the vertebrae of your spine. By the age of 40, most people's
spinal disks begin drying out and shrinking, which allows more bone-on-bone
contact between the vertebrae.
·
Herniated
disks. Age also affects
the exterior of your spinal disks. Cracks often appear, leading to bulging
(herniated) disks — which sometimes can press on the spinal cord and nerve
roots.
·
Bone
spurs. Disk
degeneration often results in the spine producing extra amounts of bone in a
misguided effort to strengthen the spine. These bone spurs can sometimes pinch
the spinal cord and nerve roots.
·
Stiff
ligaments. Ligaments are
cords of tissue that connect bone to bone. Spinal ligaments can stiffen with
age, making your neck less flexible.
Symptoms
For most people cervical spondylosis causes no
symptoms. When symptoms do occur, they typically include pain and stiffness in
the neck.
Sometimes, cervical spondylosis results in a
narrowing of the space needed by the spinal cord and the nerve roots that pass
through the spine to the rest of your body. If the spinal cord or nerve roots
become pinched, you might experience:
·
Tingling, numbness and
weakness in your arms, hands, legs or feet
·
Lack of coordination
and difficulty walking
·
Loss of bladder or
bowel control
In my experience it is
found that homoeopathy gives permanent relief
