What is a spinal disorder?
There are different types of spinal disorders. It is necessary to identify the type in which people are affected to give better treatment. There are health conditions that cause loss of structure and functioning of the spine. This can be caused by aging, infection, tumors, muscle strains, arthritis etc. Increased strain on the spinal cord that links to spinal degeneration can trigger disc displacement, narrowing of the spinal cord, herniation, spinal stenosis and other complications.
Major Causes of spinal disorders
The major causes of spinal disorders are due to genetics, lifestyle, habits, lack of nutrition and other dietary reasons. The mechanism in which the spinal cord gets damaged is as follows. There is a disc that is present in between the bones of your spine. It is comprised of fibrous tissue, water and cartilage. When you age, this disc becomes weakened. It may become flattened, bulged, herniated or break down. There are also conditions such as spinal stenosis which happens primarily due to the narrowing of your spinal canal. Compared to a degenerative disc ailment, this is a more serious issue. When your spinal canal is tightened, the gap between your nerves and the spin becomes compressed. This can cause huge irritation and can trigger a backache. If left untreated, this pain can spread to all other parts of the body. Therefore it is necessary to take things seriously before it becomes a major problem.
Signs & symptoms of Spinal Disorder
Degenerative spinal diseases give the following symptoms. The primary indications include chronic or sharp pain, weakness of the body, limited body movement. It can also be coupled with sensory loss. This is one of the most painful diseases in the body. Spinal degeneration causes compression of the spinal cord or major injury. Because of this, the weakness the patient feels and the limited body movement can increase significantly. In worse conditions, there will be a loss of the normal functioning of bowels and bladder. Spinal disorders can affect reproductive function also. The detailed signs and symptoms depend on where the structural issue of the spine is present.
Ayurvedic Treatment of Spinal Disorders
Degeneration happens mainly due to the aging process. While you cannot stop aging you can alleviate the problems associated with the spine with Ayurveda. In Ayurveda, vata becomes the dosha. It is mainly dormant throughout the old age. In the human body, 90% of the degenerative problems occur due to vitiated vata dosha. Wear and tear of the spinal cord cause rapid degeneration. These are primarily known as abhigata and can cause a major health problem.
Ayurvedic treatment depends on the fact that whether the pathology of degeneration is genetic or due to any infection. When individual systems are affected, then the disease is caused. In the case of deteriorating spine disorders, the diseases are caused by bulging, disc degeneration, dehydration, prolapse and the changes in bone structures. These are caused primarily by disc imbalance. Most of the time, the bone is connected with the soft tissues such as nerves and cartilage that lead to a vata major disorder. These are primarily the spaces of vata and depending on the contributing factor, the stage of doshic disproportion differs and the management approach would be different.
