Spondylosis
At Rudra Ayurvedic Clinic, we view Spondylosis as more than just wear and tear.
Ayurveda recognises it as a degenerative condition rooted in Dhatukshaya (tissue depletion) and Vata prakopa (aggravated Vata dosha), often manifesting as cervical or lumbar pain, stiffness, nerve compression, and limited mobility. Modern triggers like aging, cold weather, poor posture, and excessive gadget use further aggravate this condition.
Early Signs and Ayurvedic Insight
We combine modern diagnostics with Ayurvedic understanding to identify and address Spondylosis at the root. We combine modern diagnostics with Ayurvedic understanding to identify and address Spondylosis at the root. Recognising these symptoms early allows for better prevention and long-term spinal care.
Physical Symptoms (As per modern understanding):
- Neck or lower back pain
- Stiffness and reduced flexibility
- Nerve tingling, numbness, or weakness
- Pain worsens with inactivity or cold weather
- Disc degeneration in X-rays
Ayurvedic Observations (Rooted in dosha imbalance):
- Vata prakopa in spine and joints
- Dryness and cold qualities of aggravated Vata
- Vata blocking the flow of Prana in affected areas
- Exacerbation of Vata due to environmental factors
- Dhatukshaya (tissue loss) impairing joint structure
