Cervical spondylosis is a widespread condition affecting the neck vertebrae, causing pain, stiffness, headaches, and sometimes numbness or tingling in the arms. At Ayurom, Dr. Dharmendra Dube provides targeted Ayurvedic treatment for cervical spondylosis that addresses both symptoms and the underlying degeneration.
Understanding Cervical Spondylosis in Ayurveda
Known as Greeva Sandhigatvata in Ayurvedic texts, cervical spondylosis involves degeneration of the cervical vertebrae and discs due to aggravated Vata dosha. Modern lifestyle factors — prolonged screen time, poor posture, and stress — significantly accelerate this condition, even in younger individuals.
Dr. Dube's Specialized Approach
- Greeva Basti: The hallmark therapy for cervical issues — warm medicated oil is retained over the back of the neck using a dough reservoir, providing deep penetration and nourishment to cervical vertebrae, discs, and surrounding nerves.
- Nasya Karma: Administration of medicated oils through the nasal passages — a key therapy for any condition above the shoulders in Ayurveda. This delivers medicine directly to the cervical and cranial region.
- Pinda Sweda: Hot herbal bolus application that combines warmth and medicinal herbs to reduce muscle spasm, improve circulation, and relieve nerve compression.
- Herbal Medicine: Internal formulations including Maharasnadi Kwath, Ashwagandha, Bala, and specialized Guggulu preparations to strengthen bones and calm Vata.
- Marma Therapy: Gentle stimulation of specific energy points in the neck and shoulder region to release tension and restore energy flow.

Most patients experience significant improvement within 3-4 weeks of treatment.
