TOP HOMOEOPATHIC REMEDIES FOR LUMBAR SPONDYLOSIS
Lumbar spondylosis is a degenerative condition which affects the
lower spine. In a patient with lumbar spondylosis, the spine is compromised by
a narrowing of the space between the vertebrae, causing a variety of health
problems ranging from back pain to neurological issues. This condition is
usually caused by old age, as the spine undergoes changes as people grow older,
and many of these changes contribute to degeneration of the vertebrae. Spondylosis,
which can appear in the cervical and thoracic vertebrae as well, is also known
as spinal osteoarthritis.
In a classic case of lumbar spondylosis, the space between
discs in the lumbar spine becomes narrowed. As a result, the patient develops
numbness, tingling, and pain which seem to radiate out from the area. These
symptoms are the result of pressure on the nerves as they exit the spinal cord.
If the spondylosis is allowed to progress, it can lead to a narrowing of the
spinal canal, resulting in impingement of the spinal cord, which can cause poor
bladder control, unsteady gait, and other severe neurological problems.
Symptoms--Specific
conditions that fall under the umbrella term of lumbosacral spondylosis can
include herniated discs, bulging discs, bone spurs and osteoarthritis, all of
which are spinal abnormalities that run the risk of protruding into the spinal
canal and exerting pressure on spinal nerves. The sciatic nerve is often
compressed at the meeting of the L5 and S1 vertebrae. Common symptoms of
sciatic nerve compression include tingling, numbness, weakness and pain that
can spread through the following areas:--Lower back, Tailbone, Buttocks, Hip
joints, Toes, Back of thighs (hamstrings), Calves, Feet
