Spondylitis

Spondylitis and Ayurvedic Treatment at Ayushree Ayurvedic Hospital & Research Centre

Spondylitis is the swelling (technically inflammation) of the vertebrae which causes severe back pain and inability to move walk or bend. The vertebrae are the chain of bony structures on the back side of the body and are collectively called as Spine. The vertebrae are interspaced by inter vertebral discs which are nothing but cushions made of cartilage, they maintain the space in between the two vertebrae so that nerves blood vessels etc. can easily pass through the spaces . These vertebrae are responsible for our erect posture. At the upper end they support the skull and at the lower end they connected to the legs by the hip bone. The weight of the body is transferred to the legs via vertebrae.

They are important in every movement of our body like walking, standing, bending, turning etc. The muscles of the back, the chest and neck, legs etc. work in synchronisation with each other so that all movements are performed effortlessly and automatically, we are not aware in the normal course. It is when these vertebrae and the soft tissues like tendons, muscles, ligaments etc. get inflamed or injured or damaged when we start experiencing pain, stiffness and other symptoms. Sitting, standing or working in a wrong posture, travelling on un maintained two wheelers, excessive use of back muscles are the common causes.

Generally pain killers are prescribed for such conditions which only help us to relieve the pain temporarily but do not do anything to treat the underlying cause of that pain, hence are of no use on the long run.

There are different conditions like spndylosis which means degenerative disorders of vertebrae, spondylolisthesis which means displacement of vertebrae and intervertebral discs. Proper diagnosis of the conditions and ascertaining of the underlying causes are crucial for the successful management of such conditions.


Dr. Abhay Kulkarni and Dr. Rajashree Kulkarni take all efforts required to make an Ayurvedic diagnosis of this conditions and recommend necessary Ayurvedic treatments. Ayurvedic treatments like Panchakarma and Marma chikitsa are prescribed for such conditions at Ayushree Ayurvedic Hospital and Research Centre. They take care of the basic cause of such conditions and mostly all conditions are permanently resolved.

The speciality of treatments at Ayushree is that patients experience instant pain relief. We invite you to consider this option before any surgery or intervention of the Spine.
