Doctors’ responses
Your symptoms of morning stiffness, reduced mobility in the spine, and cervical issues like neck and arm pain could be linked to your mild disc bulge and possibly aggravated by lifestyle factors or chronic inflammation. These issues require a combination of targeted treatment and holistic care for long-term relief.
Recommendations:
Ayurvedic Remedies:
Ashwagandha: Known for its anti-inflammatory and muscle-relaxing properties, it can help reduce stiffness and promote spinal flexibility.
Rasnasaptakam Kashayam: Effective in managing joint pain, inflammation, and stiffness.
Maha Narayana Taila: Use this medicated oil for gentle massage on the affected areas daily to improve circulation and relieve stiffness.
Guggulu Formulations: Yogaraj Guggulu or Trayodashang Guggulu can help with joint and nerve pain.
Dietary Adjustments:
Eat anti-inflammatory foods like turmeric, ginger, garlic, green leafy vegetables, and omega-3-rich sources like flaxseeds.
Avoid processed foods, excess salt, and cold or heavy meals that aggravate stiffness.
Lifestyle Tips:
Warm-Up Routine: Start your day with light yoga poses such as Cat-Cow or Child’s Pose for spinal flexibility.
Posture Correction: Use ergonomic chairs and maintain neck alignment during work.
Hot Compress: Apply heat to your lower back and neck to relieve stiffness.
Consult an Ayurvedic practitioner for a customized treatment plan and to rule out more serious conditions.

It sounds like you're going through quite a discomfort with this - lower spine locking up and cervical issues aren't something to brush off lightly. Ayurveda, with its deep understanding of the doshas and body constitution, might offer a path that helps. But let's get specific here, based on what you're describing.
Your symptoms suggest a Vata dosha imbalance, which can cause issues related to mobility and stiffness. The cold, dry, and irregular qualities of Vata might be exacerbating your pain and reduced mobility.
Firstly, let’s address the spine and cervical issues. Try starting your day with warm oil massages. Use a Vata-pacifying oil like Sesame oil, gently warm it up a bit and massage the lower back and neck area. This can improve circulation and help soothe stiffness. It’s like giving your muscles a warm hug in the morning, literally and metaphorically!
For diet, focus on warm, nourishing meals to bring balance. Incorporate foods that are moist and warm, like stews or soups with ghee, which can help improve the lubricating qualities of your joints and tissues. Avoid cold foods or drinks—these might increase the Vata imbalance.
Also, hydration is key! But do it right: sip on warm water throughout the day. Not only will it aid digestion but also ensure that your body stays lubricated internally.
On a lifestyle note, avoid sudden or strenuous activities that might jolt your back or neck. Gentle yoga focusing on spinal flexibility can be beneficial, but listen to your body. Don’t force movements, ease into them.
With the cervical tension, try Nasyam—applying a few drops of an Ayurvedic nasal oil in the nostrils in the morning. It can reduce headaches or neck aches significantly.
But hey, if your symptoms persist or worsen, you might need to get a more detailed check-up. Chronic issues sometimes need integrated approaches. It would be wise to consult an Ayurvedic doctor who can give you a personalized treatment plan. Your health's important!
