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.
Most people experience no symptoms from these
problems. When symptoms do occur, nonsurgical treatments often are effective.
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
