Lumbar Spondylosis Homeopathy Treatment
Lumbar spondylosis affects the lower portion of the spine and is considered a degenerative condition. The space between the vertebrae starts narrowing, causing various health problems ranging from back pain to neurological issues. This condition is usually caused by old age due to degenerative changes.
Risk Factors of Lumbar Spondylosis
Any problem in bones is mainly caused due to lack of vitamin D and calcium. This deficiency is caused in women due to menopause, and in men, this can be due to ageing or genetic disorder, or some other disease.
There are some risk factors that are going to lead to this disease. Let’s see what they are:
-
A) Increasing age
This it causes numerous diseases to surface in the human body. As ageing slowly weakens the body and its systems, elderly people are likely to get Lumbar spondylosis. -
B) Family history of lumbar spondylosis
Genetic disorder is one of the main issues. Genetic diseases get transferred from the mitochondria of cells carrying genetic codings. -
C) Previous low back injuries/ surgeries
Any injury or surgeries weaken the vertebral tissues, and over time, it may cause pain and slowly progress into lumbar spondylosis. -
D) Longer sitting hours
Sitting for too long due to occupational reasons in offices can cause stress in the lower back. -
E) Repetitive strain on your low back
Weightlifting in gyms without proper instructions, types of equipment, and no prior knowledge of the workout can strain the lower back creating a long-term problem.
The symptoms associated with lumbar spondylosis are as follows
- Loose groin:
Due to lower back pain, muscles slowly lose, which then causes loss of control of the bladder or bowel movement. There may be a sign of numbness in the groin as well. - Nerve problems:
Cauda equina syndrome. In this case, nerves that are at the bottom of the spinal cord, that are pinched by an intervertebral disc or mass, cause severe nerve problems. - Stiffness:
Decreased range of motion and flexibility, either in the lower back or legs, especially in the morning or after prolonged periods of inactivity. - Back pain:
Earliest and most common symptom that may slowly come and go. - Numbness:
There can be no sensation and tingling and/or shooting or radiating pain from the lower back that travels into the buttock or legs. - Tenderness:
Bones in the lower back may feel tender and sore when touched. - Neurologic dysfunction:
This may occur due to nerve compression caused by the bulging of disc bones.
Homoeopathic Approach for Lumbar Spondylosis
The ages-old medical practice of Homeopathy is highly recommended for spondylosis as it can reduce pain and stiffness symptoms in the patient. Although one must keep in mind that there is no permanent treatment for this problem, the damage that has already been done cannot be reverted to normal again. Homoeopathy can, however, prevent further damage and can provide relief to symptoms in the patient. Homoeopathy reduces patients’ higher dependency on painkillers and even steroids, which in the longer term, are harmful to kidneys and other organs.
Homoeopathic Invention
Lumbar spondylosis is found to be caused due to self–devaluation conflict, which shatters the core of one’s self through humiliating and degrading treatments. Pressure and stress on the lower back are associated with feeling unsupported by a person you feel most connected to. That can be a family member, friend, partner, teacher, employer or colleague.
