Cervical Spondylosis an Occupational Hazard

The occupational strain resulting from intensity and duration of working hours is taking a toll on the health of youths. Cervical spondylosis is afflicting the working class in the age group of 18 to 40 years, especially those in the IT sector.

 Percentage of such patients is increasing due to stress, pressure at work place and unhealthy food habits. With the rise in number of professionals like those at the call centre who remain confined to the desk or in front of computer for hours together in one posture, the number of people suffering from cervical spondylosis is on the rise.

Neck pain can be caused by an injury, muscular problem or by a trapped nerve between vertebrae. Besides, inappropriate working or sleeping posture may also be responsible. It is a clinical syndrome resulting from degeneration of the intervertebral disc and consequent pressure on the cervical nerve roots or the cervical cord. An x-ray reveals the formation of osteophytes and loss of normal lordosis or forwards curve. This is essentially an extension of degenerative changes in the body as a whole.

It is a degenerative disorder of the neck bones due to abnormal wear of the bone cartilage. This might lead to gradual compression of one or more than one nerve roots. It results in changes in sensation in arm, pain in neck and arm and weakness of upper limb muscles.

Injury and muscular problem cause abnormal tear of joints, ligaments and the structures surrounding the joints.

• Irritable, restless and fatigued, disturbed sleep and impaired work ability

• Pain at the back of the neck region, causing headache, altered sensation while combing hair

Precaution:

• Do not bend neck for long duration while working in front of computer 
• Avoid large thick pillow while sleeping
• Avoid sudden twisting of the neck
• Do neck-muscle building exercises
• Professionals who spend hours doing desk work or in front off the computers should take small breaks in between.

 Advice for patients:

 Subject -Treatment of chronic back pain

Hi Doctor,

This mail is regarding the improvement of my chronic back pain with acupuncture treatment.

I have been suffering from this lower back pain from last Dec 2009. I had got it treated with at a major Hospital.

They gave me pain killers but it was a temporary solution. In March 2010 when i was playing cricket i strained my back again while balling and then I knew it had to be cured fully before again i start again playing. I was suggested to go for acupuncture treatment.

I saw the ad on the internet when I came to know about Dr. BS Taneja.
After completing 20 sessions of ultrasonic massage and acupuncture the pain which was very acute 20 days from now have been decreased by 50%. I feel very relieved after getting this treatment. And I am very hopeful that I will be again playing cricket with all my strength and pain free.
Regards,
Rahul Ranjan

Sciatica

Backache due to Sciatica

Mr.G.V.Singh 47 years old Male was suffering from Backache due to Sciatica came for Acupuncture Treatment .

Mr.G.V.Singh MRI report mention Limbo-sacral spine maintained with straightening of the normal spinal curve.

Concentric disc bulge at L5-S1 level. All these changes leads to backache to Right leg Sciatica pain. Treatment was started one month before MRI report and total sitting were 30 days to get CURE.

I have received his Email for well being after one month of Acupuncture Treatment 

at our Clinic Psycho-Acupuncture & Medicare Center, at Noida .

Dear Dr. Taneja,

Here is my story.
"After going through excruciating pain in my right leg due to Sciatica, for the first few days, and having taken allopathy medicines, I came across some articles regarding acupuncture and back pain on the internet. On researching it further, I found it to be interesting science for pain relieving and decided to give it a try. I was helped to a great extent by Geeta (my colleague) to make up my mind and she got me the address of Dr.Taneja's clinic. I experienced substantial improvement in my condition after 4-5 sittings itself. One needs to combine the acupuncture therapy with certain back extending exercises to get the maximum benefit. Dr.Taneja's advice is to continue exercise (which ever gives relief). My situation improved to about 95% fitness after about 30 sittings. I have stopped the therapy and started with my regular gym exercises. I am taking care at the moment not to disturb or put any pressure on my back to give it more time for complete healing. Additional free add on is Dr. Taneja's knowledge and his conversation ability. He can converse on multiple topics and at various levels. So most of the times during sittings we had lively discussions around spirituality, meaning of life, human behaviour etc. At times , he may get carried and exhibit a self righteous attitude. Overall it was an excellent experience in going through acupuncture therapy in Dr. Taneja's clinic. "
Thanks and regards.
