Cervical & Lumbar Spondylosis Treatment

Accurate assessment is an important part of effective spine care. At Kalarickal Ayurveda Hospital, patients are evaluated through a detailed clinical examination and, when required, appropriate investigations.

Investigations may include:

• X-ray of the cervical or lumbar spine
• MRI of the spine, when indicated
• Relevant laboratory investigations
• Neurological and musculoskeletal assessment
• Assessment of posture, mobility, muscle strength and functional limitations

X-rays can demonstrate degenerative changes in the spine, while MRI provides detailed information about discs, nerves and other soft tissues. Laboratory investigations may be advised when required to evaluate associated or alternative causes of symptoms.

This diagnostic approach helps our physicians understand the condition more comprehensively and formulate an individualized treatment plan.

Lumbar spondylosis commonly presents with chronic low back pain, stiffness, restricted movements and difficulty with prolonged sitting, standing or walking. In some cases, degenerative changes may be associated with radiating pain or nerve-related symptoms.

At Kalarickal Ayurveda Hospital, lumbar spine care may combine Ayurvedic therapies and Panchakarma with physiotherapy, therapeutic exercises and Yoga, based on the patient's clinical condition.

Procedures such as Kati Basti, Abhyanga, Swedana and physician-directed Panchakarma therapies may be incorporated where appropriate.

Therapeutic Yoga can complement Ayurveda and physiotherapy by focusing on flexibility, mobility, posture, breathing and overall physical well-being.

Yoga practices are selected and modified according to the patient's age, physical capacity and spinal condition. Patients with significant pain, neurological symptoms or advanced spinal problems should undertake exercises only under appropriate professional guidance.
