Spondylosis is spinal
degeneration and deformity of the joint(s) of two or more vertebrae that
commonly occurs with aging. Often there is herniation of the nucleus
pulposus of one or more intervertebral discs and/or formation of
osteophytes.
When the space between two adjacent
vertebrae narrows, leading to compression of a nerve root emerging from
the spinal cord may result in radiculopathy (sensory system and motor
system disturbances, such as severe pain in the neck, shoulder, arm,
back, and/or |
leg, accompanied by muscular weakness).
Less commonly, direct pressure on the spinal cord (typically in
the cervical spine) may result in global weakness, gait
dysfunction, loss of balance, and loss of bowel and/or
bladder control.The patient may experience a phenomenon of
shocks in hands and legs because of nerves contraction and
lack of blood flow. If vertebrae of the neck are involved it
is labeled Cervical Spondylosis. Lower back
spondylosis is labeled Lumbar Spondylosis.
Symptoms
Severe pain in the neck, shoulder, arm, back, and/or leg,
accompanied by muscular weakness.
Homoeopathic
Approach:
Brings about relief in
symptoms:
Helps in relieving symptoms like stiffness pain and
increases joint mobility.
Controls and cures the underlying disease process:
It helps in controlling the disease processes by providing
strength to the adjoining ligaments and curing the
degenerative process thus helping in maintaining the joint
space leading to relief in symptoms and curing the disease.
In certain cases were the degenerative processes has led to
severe disease conditions in such cases homoeopathy can
offer excellent palliative treatment. |
