CERVICAL SPONDYLITIS

INTRODUCTION

Cervical spondylitis is also known as cervical osteoarthritis or degenerative osteoarthritis. It is an age-related disorder which occurs due to the degeneration of spinal discs in the neck area. The discs may break down and lead to fluid loss. The ligaments become weak and lose their normal strength. The abnormal growths can occur in the bones of neck and these are called osteophytes. Osteophytes cause narrowing of the spinal column leading to stenosis of spine. Pain and stiffness in the neck area are the most common symptoms of cervical spondylitis.

More than 80 percent of people above the age of 60 years are affected by cervical spondylitis. But now-a-days, due to current lifestyle, it has become common in young adults also.

  • Stiffness of ligaments – Ligaments are the cords of tissues which join bone to bone. They get stiff due to increasing age leading to stiffness of neck.

This amalgam of vitiated Vata and Rakta is called vata rakta.
