WHAT IS CERVICAL SPONDYLITIS
- Cervical spondylitis is a general term for the degeneration of the spinal discs in your neck that occurs as you age. As you age, discs dehydrate and shrink, leading to osteoarthritis.
- Cervical spondylitis is a condition of long-term stiffness in the bones of the spine located in the neck, pain in the neck and shoulders, and headache with stiffness. This pain gradually increases beyond the shoulder to the arms and hands. Neck pain itself is called cervical spondylitis.
- Although the term may sound intimidating, it is quite common and affects more than 85% of people over the age of 65. More often than not, there are no associated symptoms that people suffer from. However, if there are any, non-surgical treatments are usually effective in getting rid of them.
CAUSE OF SPONDYLITIS
There can be many reasons for cervical spondylitis such as –
- Dehydration of discs – By the age of 40, the images in the spine often start drying up, due to which they shrink. This causes the vertebrae to rub against each other.
- Herniated discs in the spinal discs – Due to age, the spinal discs begin to crack, due to which these discs start to slip out of their place. This puts pressure on the spinal cord and other nerves.
- Bone spurs in the spine – This is a very common problem in elderly people. The wear and tear of the soft bones around the vertebrae leads to abnormal growth of bones called bone spurs.
- There are some things that increase the chances of getting cervical spondylitis. These are –
- It is a common part of old age. As the age increases, most of the people have to deal with this disease.
- If you do a job that requires you to sit in front of the computer for hours, you may have to deal with this disease because keeping the wrong posture puts a lot of weight on the neck.
- Having a trauma to the neck in the past increases your chances of developing cervical spondylitis.
SYMPTOMS OF CERVICAL SPONDYLITIS
Symptoms that people suffering from cervical spondylitis may have are –
- Neck pain and stiffness that radiates to the shoulders and arms
- Headache
- Stiff feeling when moving neck
- Numbness in shoulders, arms, and hands
- Weakness in arms and legs
- Inability to stop the urge to pass urine
- Difficulty walking straight.
RISK FACTORS OF CERVICAL SPONDYLITIS
Increasing age is one of the major risk factors for cervical spondylitis. In addition, the condition may have the following risk factors:
- Injury to the neck bone.
- Doing any work that puts pressure on the neck, such as lifting heavy weights.
- Due to genetic disease.
- Smoking excessively.
- Obesity is also included in this list.
- Having a lifestyle devoid of yoga and exercise.
WHO IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE TREATMENT OF CERVICAL SPONDYLITIS?
- Neck and shoulder pain can be caused by poor sitting posture, awkward sleeping positions (sleeping positions), or even a hard day. Stress also contributes to your body feeling muscle aches, which can last for too long. If so, you may not have cervical spondylitis.
- You may visit a doctor to find out how you can avoid and treat the pain, however, you may not be eligible for cervical spondylitis treatment because you may not have the condition.
WHAT HAPPENS IF SPONDYLITIS IS NOT TREATED?
If the condition of cervical spondylitis is left untreated or treatment is delayed, some serious complications can occur, including the following:
- Deformed spine.
- Damage to multiple joints or ligaments.
- Osteoporosis risk.
- The chances of heart diseases increase.
- The occurrence of problems related to eyesight.
- Decreased lung capacity due to chronic inflammation.
- Likely to have permanent disability.
WHAT SHOULD BE AVOIDED IN CERVICAL SPONDYLOSIS
cervical spondylitis is one of the most common health problems nowadays. Preventive measures include:
- Avoid wrong positioning of neck and shoulders, ensure correct posture of the spine.
- Do not put heavy weight on the neck and head.
- Do not use high pillows for sleeping.
- Tilt the head for a long time.
HOW DO YOU SLEEP WITH SPONDYLITIS?

There is an area in the brain called the basal ganglia that helps control the movement of the body, differences in the basal ganglia can lead to Tourette’s syndrome.

AYURVEDIC VIEW TO TOURETTE SYNDROME
Ayurved works on the principle of achieving balance among three main doshas¬ vata, pitta and kapha. As per Ayurveda, vata governs the air and body movement, and Tics and Tourette are caused by an imbalance of vata dosha. Accumulation of ama dosha because of improper digestion, which result to harmful toxins accumulation. Vata doshas, this ama doshas causes blockage of channels of nerves and cause a neurological disease. An additional condition is aggravated with stress, anxiety, less sleep, vata aggravating behavior and cause symptoms of tics.
To correlate this in modern science, functioning of Basal ganglia should be understood. The part of the brain associated with many movement conditions is termed the basal ganglia. The traditional movement condition related to malfunction of the basal ganglia is Parkinson’s disease. Although Tourette’s syndrome and Parkinson’s disease are both connected with problems in basal ganglia. Ayurveda also says that Vata aggravates in adulthood and is minimum in childhood stage. So, in children because of increased kapha and fewer vata aggravation, nerves’ drying effect of vata is minimum; Resulting only in nerves’ function imbalance. This basic concept of Tics and Tourette’s syndrome is already mentioned in old ancient Ayurveda texts dated back more than 3000 years. Ayurveda texts have mentioned about its treatment protocol since then, that is proving helpful till today’s time as well.

WHAT IS EPILEPSY?
Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder that causes recurrent seizures. When there is sudden electrical activity in the brain, seizures begin immediately. There are two types of seizures, generalized seizures and partial seizures. The first affects the whole brain while the second affects a part of the brain.
It is difficult to recognize a mild seizure that may last for a few seconds during that condition, the patient may faint. Strong seizures develop into uncontrolled muscle twitches, spasms and last for several minutes. During this time, some patients will feel confused or lose consciousness. Anyone with epilepsy can develop; however, it is quite common in adults and young children. It is slightly higher in men than in women.
WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF EPILEPSY?
Epilepsy is a disorder or abnormal activity in the brain that affects coordination. Symptoms depend on the type of seizure and seizures are classified into two types:
- Focal seizures – This is also called partial seizures and occurs in one part of the brain. Symptoms include mental illness, narcolepsy or migraine.
- Generalized seizures – These types of seizures involve every part of your brain. Symptoms include twitching or blinking of the lips, sudden fainting or falling, twitching or repeated muscle movements.
COMMON SYMPTOMS OF EPILEPSY ARE AS FOLLOWS:
- Stare at something
- Temporary illusion
- Uncontrolled jerking of the arm or leg
- Loss of awareness or consciousness
- Psychotic symptoms that include anxiety
- Fear
COULD YOU SUDDENLY HAVE EPILEPSY?
- Yes, it can develop in any person at any age. Some of the reasons why a child may develop epilepsy in the early stages of life are:
- Low oxygen pressure during birth.
- Development of a brain tumor or any other brain injury.
- Genetic conditions that result in brain malfunction.
- Infections such as meningitis or encephalitis.
WHAT IS THE ROOT CAUSE OF EPILEPSY?
The cause of epilepsy is not identifiable, but traces have been found including:
- Genetic Effects – Sometimes epilepsy also runs in the family so it is called a genetic effect. There are some types of epilepsy that are linked to specific genes and some are triggered by certain environmental changes.
- Head trauma – It can be the result of an accident or a serious injury.
- Brain state – The state of the brain is also very important because if there is any damage, stroke or trauma it can lead to epilepsy.
- Infectious disease – Like AIDS, meningitis and viral encephalitis can be one of the causes of epilepsy.
WHAT ARE THE PRECAUTIONS FOR EPILEPSY?
- Blood sugar and sodium are at abnormal levels
- Get enough sleep, set a bedtime and stick to it
- Avoid taking drugs and alcohol
- Avoid constantly playing video games, watching TV and computers
- Do not skip medicines as prescribed by your doctor
- Try tackling a healthy diet plan
- Avoid swimming alone
- Wear a helmet when biking, hiking, playing to avoid head injuries
- Do not use electrical equipment near water, you can give yourself an electric shock in case of a stroke
- Take a shower instead of a bath
- Keep doors and windows open. During seizure times, your loved ones can contact you faster
- Have your child or patient wear a medical alert bracelet at all times
- Educate your child or patient about his medical conditions, precautionary measures during seizures.
- If the patient is an elderly person, assist patients in the washroom or during other activities.
HOW TO DIAGNOSE EPILEPSY?
A doctor may recommend a variety of tests to diagnose epilepsy, including the following:
- A neurological exam – You will be recommended a neurological exam if there are any behavioral changes or changes in motor abilities or problems with a body part.
- Blood test – This will be done to test whether there is an infection or disease in the body that can affect the brain and is associated with seizures.
- Electroencephalogram (EEG) – This test is the most common test performed to diagnose epilepsy in which electrodes are attached to the scalp to detect brain activity.
- Computerized tomography (CT) scan – A CT scan is done to obtain a cross-sectional image of the brain. Abnormalities in the brain can be properly diagnosed through this scan.
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) – In this, a detailed view of the brain is given with the help of radio and magnetic waves. This helps the doctor to determine the exact problem which could be either a cyst, bleeding, tumor etc.
- Positron Emission Tomography (PET) – A very low level of radioactive material is injected into the brain to determine the active areas or brain and abnormalities as well.

- Vomiting (Vaman) – In this process, the profuse dosha is expelled from the stomach by vomiting. In Vamana Panchakarma, a person is made to vomit by giving special medicine. Through this, excess phlegm and toxins are removed from the digestive system system and above.
- Interpretation (Virachan) – The removal of profuse dosha, especially pitta dosha, is called virechana. The expulsion of the irritating dosha by virechana is not only done through the intestines or the urinary tract, but through the whole body.
- Nasya – The process of giving medicated affection and powder through the nasal route is called nasya karma. The nose is considered to be the gate of the head and the medicine given through this gate brings out all the toxic substances from the head to the neck.
- Settlement (Basti) – In this process the medicated oil or kwath is entered through a special device through the duct. Basti is used in all diseases from head to toe. There are mainly two types of settlements. Apart from these Panchakarma remedies that rid the body of toxins, a healthy diet, yoga, breathing exercises and natural remedies will help you lead a disease-free life.
