Spondylosis
Spondylosis is a degenerative condition that affects the spine, commonly involving the cervical (neck), thoracic (mid-back), or lumbar (lower back) regions. It refers to the wear and tear of the spinal discs, vertebrae, and joints, often leading to stiffness, pain, and limited mobility. Though common with aging, it can occur prematurely due to lifestyle factors.
Causes of Spondylosis
- Aging: Natural degeneration of discs and joints with age
- Sedentary lifestyle: Prolonged sitting, poor posture, and lack of exercise
- Repetitive strain: Overuse of certain muscles or joints due to occupational habits
- Trauma or injury: Accidents or falls affecting the spine
- Genetic predisposition: Family history of spinal problems
- Obesity: Added stress on the spine due to excess weight
Ayurvedic Perspective on Spondylosis
In Ayurveda, spondylosis is considered a Vata disorder (Vata Vyadhi), where the imbalance of the Vata dosha leads to degeneration of tissues (Dhatu Kshaya), dryness in joints, and restricted mobility. The Ayurvedic approach aims not just to suppress symptoms but to rejuvenate spinal health, correct doshic imbalances, and strengthen the musculoskeletal system.
