A spine disc problem is a condition that affects the discs that cushion the vertebrae in the spine.
These discs can become damaged or degenerate over time, leading to symptoms such as pain, stiffness, and difficulty moving.
Spine disc problems include herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, and spinal stenosis.
Are disc problems serious?
The pain caused by the disc problem depends upon nerve compression and other reasons like herniation disc or degenerative disc changes. It can cause significant pain, weakness, and numbness in the affected area. In some cases, it can also cause bowel or bladder problems. These symptoms may sometimes have grave consequences and may require medical attention.
Disc problems causing chronic pain or significantly impacting a person’s quality of life may be considered serious and should be taken care of immediately.
What are the five causes of the spine disc problem?
The five main reasons leading to spine disc problems are as follows:
- Age-related degeneration: As we age, the discs in our spine can lose fluid and become less flexible, leading to degenerative disc disease.
- Injuries: Trauma or injury to the spine, such as from a car accident or sports injury, can cause damage to the discs.
- Poor posture: Maintaining a wrong or poor posture over time, such as slouching or hunching forward, can put added stress on the discs in the spine and lead to problems.
- Obesity: Being overweight or obese can put added pressure on the discs in the spine and increase the risk of disc problems.
- Genetics: Some people may be more susceptible to disc problems due to inherited genetic factors.
It’s important to note that these are common causes. Many other factors contribute to the development of spine disc problems. A proper evaluation by a spine problem doctor in Mohali is necessary to determine the root cause. Dr Jyotiraditya is an ayurvedic doctor who specialises in treating spine problems.
What's the Ayurvedic view on spine problems?
Ayurveda, the traditional Indian system of medicine, views spine problems as a result of an imbalance in the body’s doshas, the three biological energies. These energies govern our physical and mental well-being. According to Ayurveda, the spine problem occurs due to excess vata dosha, which is associated with movement and dryness.
Ayurveda suggests that it is essential to maintain balance in the body’s doshas. Harmony amongst the doshas (vata, pitta and kapha) can be managed by following a balanced diet, lifestyle, and ayurvedic medicine.
- Diet modifications: Ayurveda recommends a diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats. Foods having spicy, sour and salty tastes should be avoided as they can aggravate the vata dosha.
- Lifestyle changes: Ayurveda recommends regular exercise, yoga, and meditation as effective ways to keep the vata dosha in balance.
- Ayurvedic Medicines: Ayurveda suggests using herbal remedies such as ashwagandha, liquorice, and ginger to help reduce inflammation and alleviate pain caused by spine problems.
Ayurveda also recommends massages with medicated oils to help relieve pain and stiffness and improve flexibility and circulation. Dr Jyotiraditya is an ayurvedic doctor of a spine disc problem in Mohali.
