Cervical spondylosis can be understood as age-related changes in the neck, also called the cervical spine which may cause pain and other symptoms in the neck. This is also called cervical osteoarthritis. Cervical Spondylosis is a condition that causes deterioration of the vertebrae, discs, and ligaments in the neck or cervical spine.
In the Ayurveda context, cervical spondylosis is caused by the imbalance of Vata dosha (bio humor associated with Air and Ether). When Vata gets imbalanced it causes body Tissues depletion which causes disc degeneration responsible for cervical spondylosis.
