Cervical Spondylitis, also known as cervical spondylosis, is a degenerative condition of the cervical spine (neck) involving intervertebral discs, vertebrae, and surrounding ligaments. It is commonly caused by age-related wear and tear, poor posture, repetitive strain, or trauma.

The degeneration can lead to bone spur formation (osteophytes), disc herniation, and nerve compression, resulting in pain, stiffness, and neurological symptoms. It is more common in people over 40 years old, especially those with sedentary lifestyles or prolonged neck strain.

Common causes and risk factors:

• Aging and natural degeneration of spinal discs
• Sedentary lifestyle and poor posture
• Repetitive neck movements or heavy lifting
• Previous neck injuries
• Genetic predisposition

Symptoms include:

• Stiffness and pain in the neck and shoulders
• Headaches, often at the back of the head
• Pain radiating to the arms or fingers (cervical radiculopathy)
• Numbness or tingling in the hands
• Weakness in grip or arm muscles
• Dizziness, vertigo, or visual disturbances in severe cases

Left untreated, it may lead to chronic pain, restricted neck movement, and nerve compression.

Homeopathy treats cervical spondylitis holistically, aiming to:

• Relieve pain and stiffness
• Reduce inflammation around vertebrae and nerve roots
• Improve mobility and flexibility of the neck
• Support nerve function and reduce tingling or numbness
• Slow the degenerative process naturally

Treatment is individualized, based on pain type, aggravating factors, and associated symptoms, and can complement physiotherapy, posture correction, and lifestyle modifications.ment
