Neck Pain & Low Back Pain are the commonest health problems of office workers. In the office, natural movements are restricted and movements, which the body parts are unused to, are forced to perform continuously, causing tension build ups. Tension build up results in muscles becoming tensed, sore and tender. The shoulder, neck, low back and upper back are the main tension collecting areas for most people. Repetitive strain injury (RSI) sometimes called occupational overuse syndrome, is also a growing problem among office workers. Don’t think that there is a perfect working position; the human body is designed to move, not to sit still. So, it's important to make sure that you constantly use different parts of the body. It is simply not possible to use a keyboard for sixty hours a week without damaging your health, so try and find ways of getting away from the computer in between.

Cervical spondylosis and Lumbar spondylosis is a general term for age-related wear and tear affecting the joints in your neck. Also known as cervical osteoarthritis, this condition usually appears in people older than 40 and progresses with age. By age 60, 70% of women and 85% of men show changes consistent with Lumbar spondylosis and cervical spondylosis on x-ray. Pain in the neck or low back is common and may be a natural consequence of aging in people over 50. Like the rest of the body, bones in the neck & low back progressively degenerate as we grow older. Over time, arthritis of the neck & low back (spondylosis) may result from bony spurs and problems with ligaments and disks. The spinal canal may narrow (stenosis) and compress the spinal cord and nerves to the arms. When lumbar or cervical spondylosis develops in a teenager, it is almost always secondary to a predisposing abnormality in one of the joints between the vertebrae, probably as a result of previous mild trauma or another medical condition. Ankylosing spondylitis is another condition which a cause early spondylosis changes in your spine. The symptoms of Ankylosing spondylitis may include pain and stiffness in your lower back and hips, especially in the morning and after periods of inactivity. People who have a gene HLA-B27 are at increased risk.
The pain that results may range from mild discomfort to severe, crippling dysfunction. A previous neck injury can predispose to spondylosis, but the major risk factor is aging. An X ray, CT/MRI, EMG etc will reveal the severity of the condition. The goal of treatment is relief of pain and prevention of permanent spinal cord and nerve root injury.
Treatment Tips:
For mild low back pain and neck pain or stiffness, follow these suggestions:
Inter vertebral Discs act as cushions between the vertebrae in our spine. Sometimes, the soft material inside a disk may bulge out of place or rupture and press on a nerve. But even so, many people who have bulging or herniated disks experience no pain from the condition. If a bulging or herniated disk press on the main nerve that travels down your leg, it can cause sciatica - sharp, shooting pain through the buttock and back of the leg. Ayurveda consider this as a Vata disease; treatment objectives are to balance Vata and thereby alleviate pain symptoms and prevent further degenerative changes of discs & vertebrae.
Treatment Tips:
Below mentioned therapies (as sessions of 7 / 14 / 21 days) are major parts of Ayurveda approach which are Vata balancing & back strengthening.
The right therapy & right oil; coupled with internal medications shall be chosen by the Ayurveda doctor after a detailed consultation / examination of the patient. In severe & chronic cases the below panchakarma therapies are also suggested: Vasthy (Enema with medicated liquids), Virechanam (Purgation therapy), Nasyam (Medicated oils as nasal drops)
Spinal stenosis is a narrowing of one or more areas in your spine — most often in your neck or lower back. The spinal cord extends till the level of the first or second lumbar vertebra. Below that level, the vertebral canal is occupied by spinal nerve roots and meninges. Compressed nerves in your lower (lumbar) spine can cause pain or cramping in your legs when you stand for long periods of time or when you walk. The discomfort usually eases when you bend forward or sit down. Many different types of problems can cause lumbar canal stenosis. The most common of these problems are related to degeneration and the aging process like osteoarthritis, disk degeneration and thickened ligaments.
Treatment Tips:
Our spinal disk is like a jelly donut, with a softer center encased within a tough coating. Slipped disk or ruptured disk or herniated disk occurs when the softer jelly pushes out through a crack in the tough case. It can irritate nearby nerves and result in pain, numbness or weakness in arms or legs. As we age, our spinal disks lose some of their water content. That makes them less flexible and more prone to rupturing with even a minor twist. Sometimes, a traumatic event or lifting heavy objects can lead to a herniated disk. Herniated disks are most common in middle ages. Excess body weight causes extra stress on the disks in your lower back. Repetitive lifting, pulling, pushing, bending sideways and twisting also may increase your risk of a herniated disk. But even so, many people who have bulging or herniated disks experience no pain from the condition.
If a bulging or herniated disk press on the sciatic nerve that travels down your leg, it can cause sciatica — sharp, shooting pain through the buttocks, thighs, knees, and calves and to the ankles and toes. Many people get better in a month or two with conservative treatment. Imaging studies show that the protruding portion of the disk shrinks over time, corresponding to the improvement in symptoms. Muscle strengthening through exercise helps stabilize and support the spine. Ayurveda consider this as a Vata disease namely Gridhrasi; treatment objectives are to balance Vata and thereby alleviate pain symptoms and prevent further degenerative changes of discs & vertebrae. The right therapy & right oil; coupled with internal medications shall be chosen by our Ayurveda doctor after a detailed consultation and examination of the patient.

In severe & chronic cases panchakarma therapies - Vasthy (Enema with medicated liquids), Virechanam (Purgation therapy), Nasyam (Medicated oils as nasal drops) are also suggested. Self-care measures can help a lot in the prevention and treatment of low back pain. Once the acute pain subsides, muscle strengthening will help to prevent recurrences. Don't do any bending, twisting or lifting. Keep your knees a little higher than your hips and keep your feet flat on the floor while sitting in a chair. Do not sit in the same position for long periods of time. If you are a nursing mother, don’t strain your back by bending over your infant. Practice Yoga postures like Bhujangasana, Salabhasana, Pavana muktasana.
