NECK PAIN & HOMEOPATHIC MEDICINES
January 11, 2009
I am 42 years old, working in a government office as a computer operator. I have been suffering from cervical spondylosis for the last three years. X-ray findings indicate degenerative changes in the cervical joints. The symptoms are stuffiness and pain in the neck, which extends to the arms and hands alongwith numbness in the fingers, and often a headache, particularly in the back of the head. Please suggest a homeopathic medicine.

Spine or backbone, consists of the column of 33 bones and tissues. Providing support to the head and body, the backbone encloses and protects a cylinder of nerve. tissues, called the spinal cord. The 33 bones in your spine are called vertebrae (one is called a vertebra). The vertebrae join together like links in a chain. In between each vertebra is a cushion of tissue (intervertebral discs), which acts as a shock absorber between the vertebrae. When someone has a ‘slipped disk,’ he or she has a disc that has slipped out of position, thus causing friction between two vertebrae and extreme pain from nerves being exposed. The cervical vertebrae are the seven vertebrae that form the upper part of your spine, between the skull and the chest. Cervical spondylosis results from chronic degeneration of the cervical spine including the cushions between the neck vertebrae (intervertebral disks) and joints between the bones of the cervical spine. There may be abnormal growths or ‘spurs’ on the vertebrae (the bones of the spine). These accumulated changes can gradually compress one or more of the nerve roots.
This can cause increasing pain in the neck and arm, weakness, and changes in sensation. In advanced cases, the spinal cord becomes involved, which can affect not just the arms but also the legs. A previous neck injury can predispose to spondylosis, but the major risk factor is aeging. By the age of 60, 70 per cent of women and 85 per cent of men show changes consistent “with cervical spondylosis on X-ray. Homeopathic medicines Cimicifuga,
Homeopathic medicines Cimicifuga, Lachnanthes, Guaiacum, Paris Quadrifolia, RhusTox and Bryonia are very effective in treating cervical spondylosis. As you have mentioned feeling of numbness in the fingers as one of your symptoms, you may start your treatment with Paris Quadrifolia 200, one dose every alternate day for a period of one month. ‘You should also take care of other factors that affect cervical spondylosis. Avoid high-impact exercise (running and jumping). Maintain the neck’s Range of Motion (ROM) with daily ROM exercise. Avoid holding the head in any position for long periods of time (e.g. driving, watching TV). Avoid prolonged neck extension. Be careful when performing physical activities that are done infrequently. Such activities can aggravate the problem. Try postural training, it tan prove very beneficial.

Dear Dr Sharma,
My mother is 78 years old. In 1998 she underwent major surgery as she was suffering from mouth cancer.
Since all her teeth were removed and also majority glands from her throat were removed, she finds difficult to swallow things and due to this her diet has become fatty and she has put on weight.
For past couple of years she is unable to walk since she is not able to properly lift her left leg. She also has pain often in her legs.
Is it possible to contact you for suggestions.
