I have been suffering from pain in my neck and shoulders for the last 1.5 years. I am neither able to walk not sit properly. I have dizziness and I get numbness in my hands and legs. Is this all due to cervical spondylosis? Is there any problem in the heart?

Hello Ravi, according to your symptoms it point toward cervical spondylotic myelopathy or cervical rediculopathy , resulting from cervical spondylosis

NECK AND SHOULDER PAIN- due to degenerative disc compression or osteophyte formation affecting cervical nerves DIZZINESS- due to vertevrobasilar insufficiency (arteries passing through cervical spine getting compressed) NUMBNESS IN HANDS/LEGS WITH DIFFICULTY IN WALKING/SITTING- indicates nerve root or spinal cord compression

I will recommend you some investigations to rule out 1) MRI CERVICAL SPINE- to confirm nerve or spinal cord compression 2) X RAY cervical spine- AP AND LATERAL VIEWS

PROBABLE TREATMENT WHICH IS BENEFICIAL IN YOUR CASE- 100% EFFECTIVE

EXTERNAL THERAPY- FOR THIS IF FEASIBLE GO FOR PANCHAKARMA TREATMENT AS THIS WILL HEAL YOU EARLY - go for Greeva basti -oil pooling on cervical region - 7 sitting Abhyanga ( therapeutic massage)- with Mahanarayan taila nadi sweda(medicated steam) PIZHICHILL( if radiating pain is severe) BASTI CHIKITSA- best for pain

IF NOT THAN ALSO INTERNAL MEDICATION WILL BE BENEFICIAL BUT DURATION OF TREATMENT WILL BE 3-6 MONTHS OF CONTINUOUS MEDICATION INTAKE

1)TRAYODASHANG GUGGULU- 2 tab twice a day after food with warm water- 6-8 weeks continuous 2) YOGRAJ GUGGULU- 2 tab twice a day after food with warm water- 6 weeks 3)EKANGVEERA RASA- 125 MG once a day with honey or warm water- 21 days 4) Dashmool kasaya- 30 ml with water warm twice day after meals- 2-3 months continue 5)Rasnadi kwath- 15 ml with water twice a day after meals - 4-6 weeks

externally :- 1) Nasya- Anu taila , 2 drops in each nostril, daily morning - for 1 month 2) MAHANARAYAN TAILA - gentle massage on neck and shoulder, followed by warm fomentation

PHYSIOTHERAPY SESSION WHICH WILL BE HELPFUL TO YOU- neck isometric exercises postural correction techniques cervical traction avoid neck flexion and long screen time (UNDER SUPERVISION STRICTLY)

do’s :- Sit with spine straight , use lumbar and neck support Use cervical pillow while traveling or working perform gentle neck exercises regularly Apply hot fomentation regularly on neck and shoulder region include turmeric milk, flax seeds and almonds in diet eat calcium rich food more practice anulom vilom

avoid- AC and cold exposure avoid high pillows or soft mattress don’t lift heavy weight avoid using long time phone or screen by. bending neck

can perform yoga at home very cautiously gentle neck rotation- clockwise and anti-clockwise- 5 rounds neck side bending- ear to shoulder, alternate sides- 5 reps Neck flexion and extension- chin to chest, then look up- 5 reps neck retraction- gentle tuck chin backward- 5 reps

shoulder and spine activation- shoulder rolls- forward and backward- 10 times each Goumukhasana arm(without leg position)- stretch shoulder nerves Marjariasana(cow cat pose)- 5-7 rounds bhujangasana- 2 reps

relaxation stretches- balasana, shashankasana

always close with shavasana deep breathing practice every morning use pillow if needed maintain straight spine during seated pose avoid sudden jerks or neck rolls don’t hoold pose that increase pain

do this regularly and see visible improvement in 15 days

hope this is helpful thank you

Your heart is not connected with these symptoms. Numbness, dizziness etc is due to cervical spondylosis itself.

These symptoms are due to compression of vertebral artery (dizziness).

1. Prasaranyadi kashayam tablet 2 -0-2 before food. 2. Yogaraja guggulu 1-0-1 after food. 3. Dhanwantaram tailam + maharaja prasarani tailam for external application ( massage entire neck and overall hands ). - remove the oil by warm water 4. Avipathy choornam 1 tsp with warm water at night.

Dear Ravi ji Namaste Thank you for sharing your concerns with me. I can understand how difficult and frustrating it must be to live with such pain and discomfort for so long Neck and shoulder pain lasting over years along with dizziness numbness in hands and legs and difficulty in sitting or walking, can point towards a chronic condition like cervical spondylitis or related spinal nerve compression especially at the neck level From an ayurvedic perspective, this condition may be linked to vata dosha vitiate on , especially in the Asthi bones and majja dhatus.long standing vata imbalance can lead to degeneration stiffness pain numbness and poor circulation Now , regarding your concern about the heart the symptoms you have described do not primarily suggest a heart condition, but since dizziness and numbness can sometimes be linked with circulatory issues or blood pressure imbalance I would recommend getting basic cardiac tests just to rule out any underlying issue and bring peace of mind Avoid-Excessive intake of dry or spicy food, fasting, poor poster, prolong screen use or driving Over use of neck muscles, especially Stress, anxiety, and lack of sleep Ageing leading to natural predominance and degeneration Next steps ( avoiding triggers) Avoid cold exposure, excessive Screen Time, poor posture, and late night sleeping cut down on dry heavy to digest food Based on your symptoms, classical herbs, such as Dashamoola kwath/-1 teaspoon in 400 ML of water boil until it remains hundred ML and filter and drink twice daily on empty stomach Trayodashang guggulu - Peedantak vati- One tablet each twice daily after food with water Mahanarayana taila-local application- gentle massage over the neck area Can try Panchkarma therapy if nearby centres are available, which will be very beneficial Include warm nourishing vata pacify diet Do regular walking Pranayam meditation Gentle neck exercises and yoga postures Regular sleep and stress management Ayurveda treats from the root cause so it takes some time, I suggest you to take this medicine for at least three months to see a positive changes Please don’t worry with the right approach and care. This can be managed under your health can be restored.

Based on the symptoms you’ve mentioned, it is possible that cervical spondylosis might be a contributing factor. This condition, which is related to the degeneration of the cervical spine, can indeed lead to neck and shoulder pain, numbness in the extremities, dizziness, and issues with balance or coordination. However, these symptoms can also be linked to other conditions, including potential cardiac issues, so it would be wise to consult with a healthcare professional to rule out possible heart-related problems.

Now, focusing on the possible cervical spondylosis, Ayurveda views this as a vata-aggravated condition primarily affecting the musculoskeletal and nervous systems. Here’s how you could possibly approach this with Ayurvedic principles:

1. Dietary Adjustments: Incorporate warm, nourishing foods that help balance vata dosha, such as cooked grains, root vegetables like sweet potatoes and carrots, and healthy fats like ghee or sesame oil. Avoid cold, raw, and dry foods.

2. Herbal Support: Consider using herbs like Ashwagandha and Guggulu which have been traditionally used to support musculoskeletal health. Boswellia (Shallaki) might be helpful as well for reducing inflamation. But make sure to consult with a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner before taking any herbs.

3. Dinacharya (Daily Routine): Try establishing a consistent daily routine. Prioritize restful sleep, gentle yoga stretches, and pranayama techniques, especially those focusing on the neck and upper spine area - but avoid any movement that causes pain.

4. Sneha Therapy: Abhyanga, or self-massage with warm sesame oil, can help soothe vata imbalance. It works best when done daily or a few times a week before a warm shower.

5. Stress Management: Given your symptoms of dizziness and numbness, balancing your mental state is essential. Meditation and mindfulness practices can help establish calmness and support overall healing.

It is important to address these symptoms holistically, and for your safety, keep coordinating with healthcare professionals to monitor any serious underlying issues, such as heart conditions which need immediate attention. Ensure that any therapies incorporated into your regimen are safe and suitable for your specific condition.
