ABSTRACT

Osteoarthritis of cervical spine is referred to as cervical spondylosis. It is age related wear and tear affecting the joints of neck. “Spondylo” is a greek term meaning vertebra and “spondylosis” generally means changes in the vertebral joints. A higher incidence of cervical spondylosis can be found that require heavy lifting or repetitive neck movements. It is a condition mostly affected in middle aged and old patients. Due to poor eating habits, occupation hazards, inadequate body posture and other factors that contribute to early bone degeneration, it is more-widespread in younger populations these days. It is a condition linked to the degeneration of the intervertebral disc, as well as the protrusion and bony overgrowth of adjacent vertebral bodies, it leads to narrowing of intervertebral foramina and vertebral canal. Homoeopathy is the holistic system of medicine based on attributes of “Individualization”.Individualization is based on physical make- up of the patient as well as mental and intellectual characteristics. The management of cervical spondylosis is very much effective with homoeopathic system of medicine. In Homoeopathy, the patient is treated by taking into consideration – the physical constitution, his mental make-up, his desires and aversions, his relation to environment, past history and family history of any chronic disease.
