Ayurvedic Treatment in Sri Lanka for Joint dislocation

Ayurvedic Treatment in Sri Lanka for Joint dislocation

Joint dislocation, or luxation (Latin: luxatio), occurs when bones in a joint become displaced or misaligned. It is often caused by a sudden impact to the joint. The ligaments always become damaged as a result of a dislocation.

- Occurrence

Although it is possible for any joint to become subluxed or dislocated, the most common sites it is seen in the human body are: Shoulders (see Dislocated shoulder), Fingers, Knees, Wrists (most likely be accompanied by a fracture.) Elbows (most likely be accompanied by a fracture.)

- Our Treatments

Anyone experiencing a joint dislocation should seek medical assistance as soon as possible. A dislocated joint can only be successfully 'reduced' into its normal position by a trained medical professional. Trying to reduce a joint without any training could result in making the injury substantially worse. X-rays are usually taken to confirm a diagnosis and detect any fractures which may also have occurred at the time of dislocation. Doctor sets the bone alignment using traditional ayurvedic procedures. Ayurvedic bandages using traditional herbal medicines are used for immobilisation. Doctor then works on restoration of the body movements. Move top

Ayurvedic Treatment for Slipped Disc (Disc Herniation)

-About Slipped Disc

A spinal disc herniation (prolapsus disci intervertebralis), incorrectly called a "slipped disc", is a medical condition affecting the spine, in which a tear in the outer, fibrous ring (annulus fibrosus) of an intervertebral disc (discus intervertebralis) allows the soft, central portion (nucleus pulposus) to bulge out. The popular term "slipped disc" is quite misleading, as an intervertebral disc, being tightly sandwiched between two vertebrae, cannot actually "slip," "slide," or even get "out of place." The disc is actually grown together with the adjacent vertebrae and can be squeezed, stretched, and twisted, all in small degrees. Cervical Disc Herniation Lumbar Disc Herniation

- Causes - Slipped Disc

Disc herniations can occur from general wear and tear, such as jobs that require constant sitting, but especially jobs that require lifting. Traumatic (quick) injury to lumbar discs commonly occurs from lifting while bent at the waist, rather than lifting while using the legs with a straightened back. Herniation of the contents of the disc into the spinal canal often occurs when the front side (stomach side) of the disc is compressed while sitting or bending forward, and the contents (nucleus pulposus) get pressed against the tightly stretched and thinned membrane (annulus fibrosis) on the rear (back side) of the disc.

- Symptoms - Slipped Disc

Symptoms of a herniated disc can vary depending on the location of the herniation and the types of soft tissue that become involved. They can range from little or no pain if the disc is the only tissue injured, to severe and unrelenting neck or low back pain that will radiate into the regions served by affected nerve roots that are irritated or impinged by the herniated material. Other symptoms may include sensory changes such as numbness, tingling, muscular weakness, paralysis, paresthesia, and affection of reflexes. If the herniated disc is in the lumbar region the patient may also experience sciatica due to irritation of the sciatic nerve. Unlike a pulsating pain or pain that comes and goes, which can be caused by muscle spasm, pain from a herniated disc is usually continuous.

- Diagnosis - Slipped Disc

Diagnosis is made by Dr Wijesinghe, the ayurvedic medical practitioner based on the history, symptoms, and physical examination.

- Our Treatment

Dr treats slipped disc conditions with age old ayurvedic treatments. Ayurvedic doctors generally diagnose using Sanskrit medical texts. Severe back pain in Ayurveda is called Kadeegraham (Lumbago). Slip Disc is a very serious medical condition which comes under this group of aliments called Kadeegrahom. In ayurveda it can be called Sandhivislesham or Asthi Chyudi (Sanskrit words for Slip Disc or Herniated Disc)

Cervical and Lumbar Spondylosis

-About Cervical & Lumber Spondylosis

Spondylosis is degenerative arthritis, osteoarthritis, of the spinal vertebra and related tissue. If severe, it may cause pressure on nerve roots with subsequent pain or paresthesia in the limbs.

- Symptoms

When the space between two adjacent vertebrae narrows, compression of a nerve root emerging from the spinal cord may result in radiculopathy (sensory and motor system disturbances, such as severe pain in the neck, shoulder, arm, back, and/or leg, accompanied by muscle weakness). Less commonly, direct pressure on the spinal cord (typically in the cervical spine) may result in global weakness, gait dysfunction, loss of balance, and loss of bowel and/or bladder control. The patient may experience a phenomenon of shocks (paresthesia) in hands and legs because of nerve compression and lack of blood flow. If vertebrae of the neck are involved it is labelled cervical spondylosis. Lower back spondylosis is labeled lumbar spondylosis.

- Diagnosis

Diagnosis is made by Dr Wijesinghe, the ayurvedic medical doctor based on the history, symptoms, and physical examination.
