Cervical Spondylosis:- Cervical Spondylosis is a problem that affects almost half the adult population and most of the computer users. It affects the joints of the cervical spine. It is a normal process of wear and tear that is related to aging but has struck earlier due to various reasons, mainly related to our modern lifestyle. *Who gets Cervical Spondylitis:- In earlier times, people used to get affected beyond the age of 60. Nowadays, intensive use of computers by the young population has caused this age to come down. Even people in their 20s and 30s are affected by cervical spondylosis. *What causes Cervical Spondylosis:- The normal degenerative process that works on every human being is what causes cervical spondylosis. The only thing is that this degenerative process has been hastened with prolonged use of computers and mobile phones. The fact that we twist and turn our neck into odd shapes while watching TV lying down in bed further aggravates the problem. *How is Cervical Spondylosis diagnosed? A simple X-ray, CT or MRI of the cervical spine is enough to give a definite diagnosis of the problem. The modern techniques of CT and MRI are able to discern even small changes in the bony structures of the cervical spine. *Main Symptoms of Cervical Spondylosis:- Cervical spondylosis relates to the neck area. The main symptoms of cervical spondylosis are – *There is stiffness of the muscles of the neck and shoulder region. Pain is felt in the nape of the neck. This pain can extend upwards to back of the head or even up to the eyes. In some cases, this pain travels to the shoulders, arms and even down to the fingers. Some patients feel vertigo which is a sensation as if the head is spinning or the surroundings are spinning. *Dizziness may be felt. There is a spasm of the muscles at the nape of the neck and the shoulder region. TOP 5 HOMEOPATHIC REMEDIES. :- 1.

Gelsemium-One of the Best Homeopathic Medicines for Cervical Spondylosis with pain extending to the back of the head I have found Gelsemium to be of great help in treating cervical sponsylosis when the pain travels from the neck to the back of the head. Most of the time, the pain gets centred in the occipital region. There is dullness and dizziness that the patient feels most of the time. The patient feels weak and is listless.
