Abstract

A CASE STUDY ON AYURVEDIC MANAGEMENT OF MANYASTAMBHA WITH SPECIAL REFRENCE TO CERVICAL SPONDYLOSIS

*Dr. Shraddha Saraf and Dr. Swati Nagpal

ABSTRACT

Cervical spondylosis is a degenerative condition of cervical spine and due to current lifestyle it is occurring in early to middle aged persons. It is a degenerative condition that affects the vertebrae and soft tissues in the cervical portion of the spine. The edges of the vertebrae often develop small rough areas of bone called osteophytes. It can lead to bouts of stiffness and neck pain. All the degenerative conditions are classified in Ayurveda under Vata disease. Different diseases described in Charak Samhita, Susrutha Samhita and Ashtanga Hridaya like Viswachi, Manyasthambha, and Greevagraha, etc have one more symptom similar to Cervical spondylosis. A patient aged 51 years came to our institute with the complaints of pain and stiffness in the cervical region from 6 months and pain radiating to right upperlimb with tingling from 2 months. She was diagnosed as a case of cervical spondylosis. MRI report suggested right foraminal protrusion at C4/5 level, diffuse disc bulge at C5/6 and C6/7 level impinging upon bilateral existing nerve roots. In Ayurveda, the traditional Panchakarma treatments are the best to reduce neck pain and disc compression. Effect of sarvang patra pinda swedan, Manyabasti and kala basti karma along with shaman aushadhi was observed in the patient. There was marked improvement in pain and full range of movement was reported. The case study shows that cervical spondylosis may be successfully managed with Ayurvedic medicine with Panchakarma treatment.
