How Effective Is Cervical Spondylosis Treatment in Ayurveda for Pain and Mobility?

Question

I have been struggling with chronic neck stiffness, nerve pain, and reduced mobility, and I want to explore a natural healing approach through cervical spondylosis treatment in Ayurveda. Unlike conventional treatments that focus on pain management, Ayurveda is said to offer deep healing by strengthening spinal muscles and reducing inflammation.

Some of the most commonly recommended Ayurvedic treatments for cervical spondylosis include Nasya therapy (herbal nasal drops for nerve relaxation), Pizhichil (oil bath therapy for joint lubrication), and Maharasnadi Kashayam (for inflammation control). But how effective are these compared to modern physiotherapy techniques?

For those who have tried cervical spondylosis treatment in Ayurveda, what was your experience like? How long did it take to see improvements in pain relief and flexibility?

Would love to hear from people who have successfully managed cervical spondylosis using Ayurveda and whether it provided long-term spinal health benefits.

Ayurvedic treatments for cervical spondylosis aim to provide deep healing by not only alleviating symptoms but also addressing the root causes of the condition. Nasya therapy, using herbal nasal drops, helps relax the nerves and reduce inflammation, while Pizhichil, an oil bath therapy, lubricates the joints and muscles, improving mobility and easing stiffness. Maharasnadi Kashayam, a potent herbal formula, helps control inflammation and supports the healing of tissues. Compared to modern physiotherapy, which often focuses on strengthening and rehabilitation exercises, Ayurveda takes a more holistic approach, addressing both the physical and energetic imbalances in the body. Many patients experience gradual improvement with Ayurveda, usually within a few weeks to months, depending on the severity of the condition. Consistent treatments, along with proper diet and lifestyle adjustments, can lead to long-lasting pain relief and improved flexibility.
