Abstract
Ayurvedic medicine plays a significant role in the management of Vishwachi Roga, a condition that closely corresponds to cervical spondylosis in modern medicine. Ayurvedic management emphasizes a comprehensive and holistic approach, including avoidance of causative factors (Nidana Parivarjana), administration of disease-specific formulations, Rasayana therapy, and Panchakarma procedures. In addition, adherence to appropriate dietary and lifestyle guidelines, along with the practice of Yoga and Pranayama, forms an integral part of the therapeutic regimen. During the course of treatment, activities such as heavy weight lifting, repetitive strain, and strenuous physical exercise are discouraged to prevent further aggravation of symptoms.
The therapeutic strategy primarily focuses on Vata pacification and incorporates analgesic, strengthening, nourishing, rejuvenating, oleation (Snehana), and sudation (Swedana) therapies. Supportive measures such as nutritional supplementation, including calcium, and gentle purgation (Mridu Virechana) are also recommended to enhance treatment outcomes.¹
Clinically, cervical spondylosis commonly presents with neck pain and stiffness, radiating pain to the upper limbs, and muscle wasting of the arms. Radiological findings typically demonstrate narrowing of the cervical intervertebral spaces, subchondral sclerosis, osteophyte formation, and loss of the normal cervical lordotic curvature. The disease generally follows a chronic and progressive course. Ayurvedic interventions are considered beneficial in alleviating symptoms, improving functional capacity, and enhancing quality of life in affected individuals.
This review highlights the relevance and effectiveness of Ayurvedic principles and therapeutic modalities in the management of Vishwachi Roga with special reference to cervical spondylosis.²
