Cervical spondylosis refers to progressive degenerative changes in the cervical spine, encompassing the bones, ligaments, and intervertebral discs. Though primarily an age-related condition that typically manifests around age 50, presenile changes are increasingly observed in individuals as young as 35-40. Contributing factors include repetitive stress on the neck, prolonged awkward neck positions (bent forward or upright), jerky movements during travel, and lifestyle factors such as smoking, alcohol consumption, and dietary choices involving dry, flaky foods. Climatic influences, such as prolonged exposure to cold weather, and disc herniation, often act as precursors to this condition. Dr. Smitha Jayadev, Senior Ayurveda Physician at Apollo AyurVAID Hospitals talks about several tips to manage cervical spondylosis with Ayurveda.
