Degenerative spinal disorder 

Degenerative Spinal disorder 

Spinal disorders are a group of conditions that involve a loss of normal structure and function of spine. 

These are mainly due to :-

• Ageing
• Infection
• Tumors,
• Muscle strains
• Arthritis

The increased pressure on spinal cord associated with spinal degeneration may cause disc displacement or herniation, spinal stenosis, narrowing of spinal canal, osteoarthritis, cartilage break up and many other complications.

Ayurvedic perspective of Degenerative Spinal disorder :-

Degeneration is the process that is primarily because of aging and when it comes to Ayurveda, vata becomes the dosha that is mainly dormant throughout the old age.

90% of the degenerative problems are caused by vitiated vata dosha. 

Degeneration may happen because of the wear and tear and as far as Ayurveda is concerned, these are primarily known as abhighata that can result to a health problem.

The main benefit of the ayurvedic approach when it comes to spine disease treatment in Calicut is that there is no any risk of injury to your spinal cord that is caused by an operative procedure. 

There are no any side effects and this is also cost effective.
