HOMOEOPATHIC MANAGEMENT OF AN ACUTE CASE OF CERVICAL SPONDYLOSIS: A CASE REPORT
AbstractIntroduction: Cervical spondylosis is a degenerative spine disorder commonly affecting the vertebrae and intervertebral discs in the cervical region. Most people commonly present with the complaint of neck pain at least once in their lifetime. It is, therefore, important to ascertain the cause responsible for it. Homoeopathy has a great scope in relieving the pain caused due to spondylosis, thereby preventing the further progress of the disease pathology caused by this disorder. This case was undertaken to assess the efficacy of homoeopathic medicine for managing cervical spondylosis. Case Summary: A 58 years old female complained of neck pain, tingling and numbness with burning over right upper limb for the past 15-20 days. She also complained of headache on and off. No history of vertigo, giddiness was noted. No history of any other major illness was found during the interview. On detailed analysis and repertorization of the case, the homoeopathic medicine Rhus toxicodendron was given. This case was successfully treated with the selected homoeopathic medicine and auxiliary measures, and further complications were prevented. Further studies can be undertaken to assess homeopathy’s effectiveness in managing cervical spondylosis.
