5 Best Homeopathic Medicines For Cervical Spondylosis And Neck Pain

Cervical spondylosis, also known as osteoarthritis of the cervical spine, refers to the degeneration of structures (vertebrae, joints, spinal intervertebral disc, ligaments, tendons, muscles) of the cervical spine/ back of neck. Vertebrae are the bones stacked one above the other in the backbone. There are seven vertebrae in cervical spine present in the back of the neck immediately below the skull. Spinal discs are the intervertebral discs present in between the vertebrae that act as shock-absorbing cushions bearing all kinds of stress felt over the spine. Ligaments are bands connecting one bone to another. Tendons are the tissue bands that connect muscle with bone.

Homeopathic Treatment

Homeopathy can work wonders in cervical spondylosis cases. These remedies provide symptomatic relief in cervical spondylosis. The medicines are selected as per individual symptoms and manage symptoms of pain, stiffness in neck, numbness/tingling in upper limbs and vertigo. These medicines also halt the further progression of the degenerative process in the spine from cervical spondylosis.

Neck pain from overstraining or overuse of neck (for example from working on computers for long hours, lifting weights) also can be best treated with this medicine. A person in need of Rhus Tox may get relief from warm applications on the neck. Neck massage may provide relief in some cases.

Causes Of Cervical Spondylosis

Cervical spondylosis mainly arises from wear and tear of the cervical spine. The wear and tear of cervical spine results mainly due to age-related degenerative changes. In some cases, injury to the cervical spine may lead to early spondylosis changes in the cervical spine.

The degenerative changes in spine may include:

1. Dehydration and herniation of intervertebral discs

Intervertebral discs are fibrocartilagenous cushions in between the vertebrae that serve as shock absorber whenever some load is put on spine like when we twist, lift weights. The disc has an outer thick layer and gel like soft center.

Dehydration of these discs means drying of the its inner gel like matter that leads to rubbing together of vertebral bones and pain.

Herniation of disc also called slip disc means leakage of the inner jelly material due to a crack in the outer layer of disc. At times this material can press on spinal cord and nerves.

2. Bone spurs in spine

It refers to extra bony growth that may form in spine to make it stronger when discs break down. These bone spurs may pinch spinal cord and nerves.

3. Ligament Stiffness

Ligament refers to band of tissue that connect bone with bone. As the age progresses these ligaments can become stiff that hinders neck movements and cause neck stiffness

Risk Factors Involved In Cervical Spondylosis

The major factors that put a person at the risk of developing cervical spondylosis are:

1. Age – Cervical spondylosis is a degenerative disorder and therefore, directly related to age. Mainly cervical spondylosis complaints begin at the age of 40 years. By the age of 60 years, more than 85 percent of the people get affected with cervical spondylosis, those above 40 years are more susceptible.

2. Overstraining or overuse of neck muscles – It may occur in certain occupations involving repetitive motion or bending/twisting of the neck like in painters, some sport activity like playing badminton and from lifting heavy weight.

3. Holding neck in improper position for a long time period like a bent neck for extended time period, for example when working on computers placed too high or low, using mobiles in uncomfortable position. This puts extra stress on the neck and causes pain.

4. Neck injuries

5. Arthritis (joint inflammation)

6. Positive family history of cervical spondylosis

7. Smoking

What Are The Symptoms Of Cervical Spondylosis?

1. The major symptoms that point towards cervical spondylosis include pain and stiffness in the neck. Pain from the neck may radiate down the arm, hands, and fingers.

2. If spinal cord/nerve roots are pinched in the cervical part of the spine, symptoms including numbness, tingling and weakness in the upper limb may be felt. Additionally, there may occur lack of coordination and trouble while walking.

3. Dizziness or vertigo attacks can also occur.

Lifestyle Changes To Manage Cervical Spondylosis And Neck Pain

Adopting a few lifestyle measures can help better manage complaints of cervical spondylosis and neck pain. These measures include:

Regular exercise

Physiotherapy that helps strengthen the neck muscles and maintain flexibility of the cervical spine

Maintaining correct posture while sitting, lying down

Avoiding job or work that puts stress/strain on the neck

Avoiding lifting heavy weights

Warm applications and neck massages can help

Avoid putting thick pillows or too many pillows under the head while sleeping
