What is cervical Spondylitis?
It’s a degenerative disease of cervical region of the spine. The main causes are faulty posture, poor dietary habits, psychological strain leading to muscle spasm, lack of exercise & injury.
What is the body trying to tell you?
When there is damage, the body wants to repair & it indicates this damage through pain. The pain felt in cervical spondylitis indicates 2 things:
- degeneration in the cervical region is faster than regeneration
- the body needs help with repair.
What can you do to support your body ‘naturally’?
Follow an integrated approach & focus on 4 things: exercise, rest, food & sunlight
- Exercise: When in acute pain, please consult a qualified physiotherapist or accupressurist. Once the acute pain has subsided:
- Do shoulder & neck rotation & stretching exercises regularly.
- Many people have found relief from cervical pain through regular practice of yoga asanas such as matsyasana (fish pose), bhujangasana (cobra pose) & ardha naukasana (half boat pose).
- Rest
- 2-3 times a day, drop everything you are doing...just sit with your eyes closed, focus on deep breathing & do a few stretching exercises.
- If your work is laptop based, try to take a break after every 1 hour of intensive work.
- Make no phone – no laptop time zones, say 8 pm - 8 am or no phone – no laptop days, say Sunday !!
- Ensure you get good amount of deep sleep every night.
- Be positive - Don't take mental / emotional stress, work on keeping a positive attitud
- Oil massage – Gently massage the back of your neck & shoulders with coconut oil. This will create better blood flow in the area & support pain management.
