Cervical Spondylitis (Neck Pain)

Ayurillam provides a comprehensive approach to treating cervical spondylitis, a condition that causes neck pain, stiffness, and restricted movement due to the degeneration of discs and bones in the cervical spine. Our specialized Ayurvedic treatments aim to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and improve mobility. Two primary therapies used are Greevavasthi and Elakizhi, each with unique healing properties:

<b>Greevavasthi</b>

Greevavasthi

  1. This therapy involves creating a well-like structure made of dough placed around the neck (cervical region), where warm medicated oils are poured and retained for a specific time. The oil penetrates deep into the tissues, delivering both therapeutic and rejuvenating effects. The key benefits of Greevavasthi are:
    1. Relieves chronic neck pain: The warm oil soothes the nerves and muscles, significantly reducing pain in the neck region.
    2. Eases muscle stiffness: It relaxes stiff muscles around the cervical spine, promoting smooth movement and flexibility.
    3. Improves blood circulation: The therapy stimulates blood flow to the affected area, accelerating the healing of inflamed or damaged tissues.
    4. Reduces inflammation: The anti-inflammatory properties of the medicated oil help alleviate swelling in the cervical vertebrae and surrounding tissues.
    5. Restores cervical mobility: By addressing the root causes of stiffness, Greevavasthi helps restore normal movement and range of motion in the neck.

Elakizhi

Elakizhi is a traditional Ayurvedic treatment that involves the use of heated herbal poultices (cloth bags filled with medicinal leaves) that are applied to the affected areas through a rhythmic massage. This therapy is highly effective for musculoskeletal disorders like cervical spondylitis. The key benefits of Elakizhi include:

  • Relieves muscle and joint pain: The warm herbal boluses, combined with therapeutic massage, help reduce pain and discomfort in the neck and shoulder areas.
  • Reduces inflammation and swelling: The herbal leaves used in the poultice contain natural anti-inflammatory properties, reducing swelling in the cervical spine and muscles.
  • Improves joint mobility: Regular application of heat combined with herbal remedies helps loosen stiff joints, enhancing flexibility and movement in the neck.
  • Relaxes tight muscles: The heat therapy promotes deep relaxation of tight and strained muscles, which is crucial in reducing tension around the cervical vertebrae.
  • Detoxifies and rejuvenates: Elakizhi helps eliminate toxins from the body, improving circulation, promoting healing, and rejuvenating the tissues around the neck and upper back.

Both Greevavasthi and Elakizhi are part of an individualized treatment plan tailored to each patient's specific needs at Ayurillam. These therapies are combined with lifestyle modifications, herbal medications, and other supportive therapies to provide a holistic and long-lasting solution for cervical spondylitis.
