Spine Care

Welcome to the home of Manavaidyam Spine Care

In fact, it is proven that the root cause of back issues is due to loss of curvature of the spine. Therefore, unless you correct this curvature, the cure will be temporary and most certainly the problems will return. The main goal of treating disc and spinal problems with Ayurveda is to correct and maintain this curvature of the spinal column.

Modern medicine's only approach to spinal problems is invasive surgery, or inserting painful metal rods, nuts and bolts into our body. Complications from surgeries are vast, and again the relief from pain is temporary and recurrent. Worst of all, surgery can damage nerves, lead to bowel and bladder problems and sexual dysfunction.

Back Pain

Backs are stabbed by the postural deformities and irregular lifestyle. In our hectic lifestyle we come across many wrong postures everyday which are hampering our back and lifestyle in day to day life and this is causing back pains to all of us.

Generally all back pains start very mildly and these keep on aggravating with the time and start causing different problems in life. We all keep on taking painkillers to relieve from the pain, Regular use of painkillers might give us a pleasant feeling of- “absence of pain” for a while but the same pain killer keep on worsening the health regularly and after years we feel- cheated, because we used the painkillers to just get rid of a sensation but we never understand and believe that there are some solutions.

Manavaidyam team has success fully treated all these cases with Ayurveda. This was not relief for two-three days or months, patients are free from all the symptoms since years now...

Here our approach is completely holistic, non-invasive with the intention of complete and permanent freedom from pain! We pride ourselves on treating the whole body, NOT JUST THE SYMPTOMS, by replenishing, nurturing and rejuvenating!

Lumbar Spondylosis

Lumbar spondylosis is a degenerative condition which affects the lower spine. Specific conditions that fall under term lumbar spondylosis can include herniated disc, bulging discs, bone spurs, and osteo atrthritis, all of which are spinal abnormalities that run the risk of protruding in to spinal canal and exerting pressure on spinal nerves. Slipped Disc Herniated disc, bulged disc, protruded intervertebral disc (PIVD) are the different names of one condition. This is a condition where- disc in between the two vertebral bodies starts peeping out on one side- anterior or posterior. These discs are just like the bags filled with liquid material, which work like shock-absorbent. There are several hard bony vertebrae in the vertebral column and there is plenty of movements with these vertebrae. When we look on one side to other side, we look upwards, downwards or we twist and even we bend forward or backward in each and every condition, there will be a movement in these bones, these discs decide the free movements of the spine. Along with this- when we walk or run there will be shocks and jerks to all these bones and these bags decide that there won’t be any kind of jerks in between the bones. So, these discs are of multiple uses. Whenever there is a loss or change (specially reduction) of this space between two vertebrae- pressure will be exerted on the intervertebral discs. This uneven pressure on the disc causes- protrusion/bulge/herniation of the disc- this is the condition known as SLIPPED DISC, in layman language.

Bulged Disc

Our spine is inverted “S” shaped. There are two main curvatures in the spine which are free to move- Cervical and Lumbar curvatures. These curvatures of the spine are maintained due to the spaces in between the two vertebrae. Whenever there is a loss or change (especially reduction) of this space between two vertebrae- pressure will be exerted on the intervertebral discs. This uneven pressure on the disc causes- protrusion/bulge/herniation of the disc- this is the condition known disc bulge. Generally this disc condition is diagnosed by its signs and symptoms. When bulged disc starts exerting pressure on the nerves surround the disc- the nerve will be excited which gives sensation of- Pain, Burning or Numbness in the related area of the nerve. This sensation can travel long far away to the areas, which are being supplied by the nerve and can be limited to a particular location in neck or back even. If the condition is allowed to progress ,it can lead to narrowing of spinal canal ,resulting in impingement of spinal cord ,which can cause poor bladder control, gait disturbances, and other severe neurological problems.

Herniated Disc

Our spine is inverted “S” shaped. There are two main curvatures in the spine which are free to move- Cervical and Lumbar curvatures. These curvatures of the spine are maintained due to the spaces in between the two vertebrae. Whenever there is a loss or change (especially reduction) of this space between two vertebrae- pressure will be exerted on the intervertebral discs. This uneven pressure on the disc causes- protrusion/bulge/herniation of the disc- this is the condition known disc bulge. Generally this disc condition is diagnosed by its signs and symptoms. When bulged disc starts exerting pressure on the nerves surround the disc- the nerve will be excited which gives sensation of- Pain, Burning or Numbness in the related area of the nerve. This sensation can travel long far away to the areas, which are being supplied by the nerve and can be limited to a particular location in neck or back even. If the condition is allowed to progress ,it can lead to narrowing of spinal canal ,resulting in impingement of spinal cord ,which can cause poor bladder control, gait disturbances, and other severe neurological problems.

L5-S1 Disc Problem:

This is disc located on the junction of the L5 and S1 bones. This is the last moving part of the human spine. It gives a lot of mobility to our body.

Most of the cases at Manavaidyam we are treating are spine related problems among which every second patient of slip disc comes with complaint L5-S1 disc problem .

Why does disc between L5-S1 slips so commonly?

L5-S1 is the base of the spine and it moves more than any other part of the spine. When it comes to the causes, many times we think that injury is the only cause behind slip disc. It is not important at all. And when it comes to the injury or jerk it might be as low as a heavy sneeze.

But if we streamline the causes behind slip disc in a proper way we find-

• The poor posture while sitting, standing or even lying down in bed.
• Improper Dietary habits can cause slip disc
• Ageing
• Excessively sitting or standing postures
• Obesity
• Stiffness in the muscles
• Extreme weather conditions
• In last comes injury
• Erectile dysfunction
• Sexual Weakness

Slipped Disc

Our spine is inverted “S” shaped. There are two main curvatures in the spine which are free to move- Cervical and Lumbar curvatures. These curvatures of the spine are maintained due to the spaces in between the two vertebrae. Whenever there is a loss or change (especially reduction) of this space between two vertebrae- pressure will be exerted on the intervertebral discs. This uneven pressure on the disc causes- protrusion/bulge/herniation of the disc- this is the condition known disc bulge. Generally this disc condition is diagnosed by its signs and symptoms. When bulged disc starts exerting pressure on the nerves surround the disc- the nerve will be excited which gives sensation of- Pain, Burning or Numbness in the related area of the nerve. This sensation can travel long far away to the areas, which are being supplied by the nerve and can be limited to a particular location in neck or back even. If the condition is allowed to progress ,it can lead to narrowing of spinal canal ,resulting in impingement of spinal cord ,which can cause poor bladder control, gait disturbances, and other severe neurological problems.

Degeneratiive

Our spine is inverted “S” shaped. There are two main curvatures in the spine which are free to move- Cervical and Lumbar curvatures. These curvatures of the spine are maintained due to the spaces in between the two vertebrae. Whenever there is a loss or change (especially reduction) of this space between two vertebrae- pressure will be exerted on the intervertebral discs. This uneven pressure on the disc causes- protrusion/bulge/herniation of the disc- this is the condition known disc bulge. Generally this disc condition is diagnosed by its signs and symptoms. When bulged disc starts exerting pressure on the nerves surround the disc- the nerve will be excited which gives sensation of- Pain, Burning or Numbness in the related area of the nerve. This sensation can travel long far away to the areas, which are being supplied by the nerve and can be limited to a particular location in neck or back even. If the condition is allowed to progress ,it can lead to narrowing of spinal canal ,resulting in impingement of spinal cord ,which can cause poor bladder control, gait disturbances, and other severe neurological problems.

Sciatica Pain

Pain radiating from the lower back in lower limb up to the toe is known as sciatica. In this condition a nerve called sciatic is affected and pain occurs in the same nerve- this is the reason, why it is known as sciatica.

Common symptoms of sciatica include:

• Pain in the back side of leg which will worsen once you sit or stretch the nerve by any movement
• Pain might be in form of tingling sensation, burning anywhere in the supply region of the sciatic nerve
• You might feel weakness in your leg
• A sensation of numbness or just difficulty in making any movement
• A cutting/tearing pain on rear side
• A pain which can make it difficult to walk or stand for moments

Causes of Sciatica:

Sciatic nerve originates from Lumbo-Sacral vertebrae. Nerves coming out of these vertebrae unite together and make a nerve- Sciatic. This nerve travels to the foot all the way so from lower back up to any place there might be some problem. Here are main causes of the sciatica.

Neck Pain

Neck pain, surely pain in the neck. This pain can be caused by many different spinal problems. Neck pain may be caused by the muscular stiffness in neck as well as in upper back on a simpler note and it might be due to the pinching of the nerve in cervical region.
