Homeopathy has a very good scope in treatment of cervical spondylosis.
As it is told before that the pain commonly arises from suppression or irritation of the spinal nerves that comes out from spinal cord so the treatment should be targeted how to decompress the nerve portion and to heal the injures nerves.The compressions of nerves are generally caused by the muscles and ligaments present around the area. If any muscles get over stressed that may put extra pressure to the concern spinal nerve and in the course of time there will be pain on that portion. Similarly if there is any pressure effect of the concern ligaments to the spinal nerves that can also causes pain.
3. The vertebral column or spine
The vertebral column, also known as the backbone or spine consists of a
sequence of vertebrae, a series of bones which is separated and united by
an intervertebral disc.
The vertebrae and the intervertebral discs together form the vertebral
column.
The major function of the vertebral column is protection of the spinal cord,
which passes down the back through openings in the vertebrae from base
of the brain to the end of spine.
Vertebral column is a flexible series of vertebral bones that are joined with
each other to support the head, neck, and body and allows for their
movements.
The vertebral column usually consists of 33 vertebrae - 7 cervical vertebrae,
12 thoracic vertebra, 5 lumbar vertebra, 5 sacral vertebra and 4 coccygeal
vertebra.
4. Cervical spine
The cervical spine consists of seven vertebrae from C1 to C7.
These vertebrae start at the bottom of the skull and spread down to the thoracic
spine.
The cervical vertebra close to the skull is C1 and is the smallest cervical vertebra.
As it goes down to C7 get into bigger in size.
Likewise all of the cervical vertebrae are smaller than the thoracic vertebrae.
Cervical vertebrae C3 , C4, C5, C6 are known as typical vertebrae because have
the same basic features with most of the vertebrae throughout the spine.
In between the two vertebrae there lies a soft pad like
structure called inter vertebral disc which function as a
shock absorber like when a person walk, run or jump.
The spinal cord is a long, thin, tubular bundle of nervous
tissue about 18 inches long runs within the protective
spinal canal from the base of the brain to the end of the
spine.
The spinal cord serves as the transmission path way to
rely messages between the brain and the rest of the body.
5. Causes of neck pain and Cervical Spondylosis
Bone spurs - bone spurs or osteophytes are tiny growths on the surface of the
bone caused by degeneration of the bony tissues.
Dehydrated spinal discs - Spinal discs are thick, pad-like cushions that absorb
the shock while walking , running, of lifting, twisting, and other activities. In the
central portion of the disc there are gel-like materials which can dry out over
time. Herniated discs
Injury – any injury to the neck can impact on the spinal disc and spinal nerve.
Ligament stiffness - The ligament that connect the spinal bones to each other
can become stiffer over time, which affects the neck movement and makes the
neck feel tight.
Overuse of neck – some occupation that puts extra pressure on the neck
portion like repetitive bending and bowing like in construction work that causes
wear and tear of neck ligament and put bad impact on the spinal disc. It can be
a cause for chronic neck pain.
6. Common Symptoms of Cervical Spondylosis
The major symptoms of cervical spondylosis are –
Stiffness in the muscles of the neck and shoulder region.
The Pain is felt in the nape of neck and whole shoulder areas
The pain can spread upwards to the base of brain, eyes or
downward to the arm portion
Some patients feel dizziness or vertigo like spinning of head while
sitting or working.
7. Scope of Homeopathy Treatment in neck pain and cervical
spondylosis
Homeopathy has a very good scope in treatment of cervical spondylosis.
As it is told before that the pain commonly arises from suppression or irritation of
the spinal nerves that comes out from spinal cord so the treatment should be
targeted how to decompress the nerve portion and to heal the injures nerves.
The compressions of nerves are generally caused by the muscles and ligaments
present around the area. If any muscles get over stressed that may put extra
pressure to the concern spinal nerve and in the course of time there will be pain
on that portion.
Similarly if there is any pressure effect of the concern ligaments to the spinal
nerves that can also causes pain.
There are other factors that are also responsible for generating of pain. The
development of tiny bony growths over the body of vertebral bones that occurs in
the aging process called osteophytes can sometimes irritate the spinal nerves
and causes pain.
8. The other reason of neck pain is due to the compression of inte-rvertebral disc to the
concern spinal nerve.
The disc do compress the spinal nerve in two causes ; 1-either due to the over stress
that causes the disc to displace its position from the normal place to forward or back
ward side and press the spinal nerve, 2- if the disc’s internal content which is very soft
jelly like content get dry and that sometimes comes out like a bulge and press the
spinal nerve. It is commonly found in aging process or prolonged dehydration
condition.
Homeopathic Medicines for Cervical spondylitis and neck pain is very helpful in the
term of reducing the stress of the muscles and ligaments and thus helps to reduce the
inflammation of the muscles if persist by over stress and also support the muscles and
strengthen the muscles from becoming overstress.
The pains are relieved within a short period of treatment by the specified homeopathic
medicines.
Besides to relieve the pain it also helps to give a long term curative effect by healing
the damaging nerves caused by the muscles or ligaments or disc.
9. Here are commonly used homeopathic medicines for
neck pain and cervical spondylosis
Rhus tox – Rhus tox is the most commonly used medicine for cervical spondylosis.
The common symptoms on which it is prescribed are pain and stiffness of the part.
The pain is generally aggravated by first motion, lying posture, cold damp
atmosphere and relieve by any warm application. The others symptoms are
numbness or tingling sensation in the arms.
Cimicifuga- Cimicifuga or Actea Reacemosa is generally prescribed when there is
pain in the neck portion from over use of fingers like those who types in computer
key pads long hours with a odd posture, those who plays piano boards long hours,
those who stitch or knit hour together. There is more pain in the neck portion
when the patient bend his forward or bowing of head. The pain and stiffness is
more in the shoulder areas
