Spondylosis, also referred to as spinal osteoarthritis, is a painful condition that develops as a result of the spine’s age and wears and tear. The most apparent reason is our obsession with different devices which affects our spine and joints adversely. People who spend more time sitting are more likely to develop spine problems. We must extra take and effort to keep our spine active. At times, it is important to get proper spondylosis treatment through Ayurveda to relieve the symptoms. Among the different treatment options, Ayurveda is the best cure. Spondylosis can be managed with Ayurveda by restoring the optimum levels of the aggravated Doshas. “Ayurveda focuses more on preventing any diseases from occurring. For any prevailing diseases, the root causes are found and treated so as to eliminate the illness as well as avoid it from recurring”, says our Medical Director Dr Jobin J Madukkakuzhy.
What Causes Cervical Spondylosis?
- Degeneration
- Herniation
- Osteoarthritis
- Bone spurs
Spondylosis can affect the cervical (neck), thoracic (upper and mid-back), or lumbar (lower back) spines (low back). The most common spondylosis is lumbar and cervical spondylosis. With age, the bones and ligaments in the spine wear, abnormal overgrowth of bones may develop, discs may dry and crack, cartilage may wear out, and ligaments may thicken. Spondylosis encompasses all of these age-related degenerative processes. Spondylosis isn’t always accompanied by symptoms. When symptoms do appear, they usually involve stiffness or soreness in the neck or back. Spondylosis in the cervical spine (neck) can cause headaches.
Let’s check out the different symptoms of Spondylosis.

Spondylosis Cervical Treatment in Ayurveda
For many years, Ayurvedic medicine has been quite effective in the treatment of spondylosis.

This is followed by therapies such as Marma Massages (specialised massage with energy point stimulation), Kashayadhara (decoction bath), Pizhichil (Oil bath), and various Kizhys (Bundle bag massage- Podikizhi, Elakkizhy, Njavarakkizhy), Vasthi (Medicated enema), all of which help to reduce stiffness and inflammation in muscle and joints, as well as ease movement and reduce pain symptoms.
