There are many external
causes for Spondilitis, viz., Arthritis, Rheumatoid-Arthritis,
Deformance Arthritis, TB of the spine etc. Among the 32 bodies, the neck
and the waist hold more flexibility, hence the increase in problem
there. The rest of them are almost inert and devoid of excessive
friction, hence less or nil problems face them. In day to day practice,
the problems of the waist are more noticed, resulting in inter-vertebral
slip of the disc if left untreated.
Prolapse (slip) of inter-vertebral disc is the main cause that can
neutralize a man’s activities, where acute and agonizing pains from
waist to toes are caused, mostly after strenuous work, lifting of
weights, sudden severe coughs and sneezing. In such situations an
individual is unable to lift his legs lying on his back, along with
tingling numbness and heaviness of the lower limbs as symptoms. At times
even the natural reflexes in the legs are also lost when this happens in
the neck one faces difficulties in writing and loss of hand-grip along
with the above symptoms. |
Homoeopathy treats man in his entirety, covering his hereditary,
environment and his harmonious relation with nature. The strains of his
relationship with society, work-spot and family can bring on or worsen
an existing complaint.
In my personal practice spanning two decades I have come across these
problems with men who are rigid in their thinking, framing themselves
into self-punishing thoughts of being duty conscious and principled. The
ones with straitjacketed views have Spondilitis affecting them easily. A
rigid mind might take away the adjusting capacity of the spine and give
way to pain, thus those who learn to adjust and adapt to circumstances
are seen to have a healthy spine.
Spondilitis is also due to urbanization, oversexed attitude and
masturbation in men, other causative factors being excessive comfort,
over relaxation, luxuries and complexities of modern living. In all
back-pain is progressing as fast as civilization itself.
Giving relief to cases of spondilitis, be they in their early stages or
even upto the stage where impending surgical intervention has been
thwarted, I have relied on the basic tenets of Homoeopathy along with
the medicines, viz., Arnica, Hypericum, Gnaphaphallium, Rhus-Taks, Kali
Carv and such others along with the individual constitutional remedies.
Regular exercise, an orderly lifestyle and proper food habits are
equally essential to supplement medicines, failing these, even the best
of doctors on earth would be helpless to promote a remedy. Thus without
deceleration the speed of life and altering the modes that will maintain
the equilibrium of life, man can take away thoughts of back pain and
impeding problems of his back. |
