Torticolis/Cervical spondylosis

Causes, Symptoms & Ayurvedic Management

Torticollis, commonly associated with cervical spondylosis, is a painful musculoskeletal condition affecting the neck and upper spine. According to Ayurveda, improper sleeping habits such as resting on an uneven surface, poor posture, and prolonged upward or downward neck movements can aggravate Vata and Kapha dosha, leading to a condition known as Manyasthambha (neck stiffness).

Causes of Torticollis / Cervical Spondylosis

  • Sleeping on uneven or improper surfaces
  • Long hours of poor posture (computer, mobile, desk work)
  • Repetitive or prolonged neck movements
  • Degeneration of cervical vertebrae due to age or stress
  • Vitiation of Vata and Kapha dosha

Symptoms

  • Restricted and painful neck movements
  • Stiffness in the cervical region
  • Pain radiating to shoulders and arms
  • Numbness and tingling sensation in upper limbs
  • Muscle weakness in severe cases
  • Vertigo, dizziness, and general discomfort in advanced stages

Ayurvedic & Marma Therapy Treatment

In Ayurveda, Marma Chikitsa plays a vital role in managing cervical spondylosis and torticollis. Specific marma points are stimulated to restore energy flow, reduce pain, and improve mobility.

Key marma points treated include:
Kshipra, Talahridaya, Kurcha, Kurchasira, Manibandha, Indravasti, Kurpara, Urvi, Ani, along with Dhamani, Matrika, Krikatika, Amsa, and Amsaphalaka marma of the back.

Therapeutic Techniques Used

  • Gentle rubbing and controlled pressure on marma points
  • Ayurvedic oil massage (Abhyanga)
  • Herbal paste application (Lepa)
  • Fomentation therapy (Swedana) to relieve stiffness

Benefits of Marma Therapy

  • Reduces neck pain and stiffness naturally
  • Improves blood circulation and nerve function
  • Relieves numbness and tingling sensations
  • Enhances flexibility and range of motion
  • Helps prevent recurrence when combined with proper posture and lifestyle changes

Marma therapy offers a holistic, non-invasive, and effective Ayurvedic solution for cervical spondylosis and torticollis, addressing both symptoms and root causes for long-term relief.
