What is Spinal Cord Injury?

What is Spinal Cord Injury?

The spinal cord is a network of nerves that transmits signals for feeling and movement from the brain to the body’s other organs. Any portion of the spinal cord that is damaged is considered a spinal cord injury. Damage to your spinal cord could affect your ability to regulate your muscles. The cause of Spinal Cord Injury can be direct damage to the spinal cord or injury to the surrounding tissue and vertebrae. Below the injury, feeling, movement, strength, and body functions may be temporarily or permanently altered due to this damage. The Ayurvedic remedy for spinal cord injuries aims to decrease inflammation, enhance blood flow, and stimulate tissue regeneration. The goal of Ayurveda is to restore equilibrium in the body by treating it as a whole.

Causes of Spinal Cord Injury

Examining the key factors behind Spinal Cord Injury

Book Now
Spinal cord injuries can result from a variety of causes. The intensity and location of the damage will determine how severe the symptoms are. Injured spinal cords can be treated surgically and medically by conventional Western medicine. Ayurveda presents alternative methods for treating spinal cord injuries naturally.

Accident or fall-related trauma

Trauma caused by falls or accidents is a leading factor in spinal cord injuries. Falls from heights, injuries during sports activities, and motor vehicle accidents can lead to these injuries. Depending on the seriousness of the injury, damage to the spinal cord can result in a long-term disability.

Spinal stenosis

The narrowing of the spinal canal, known as spinal stenosis, compresses the spinal cord and nerves. Various symptoms, such as pain, numbness, and limb weakness, can be caused by this condition, which is particularly prevalent in older adults.

Spinal tumours or infections

Spinal cord damage can result from tumours or infections in the spine. The presence of inflammation or pressure on the spinal cord can interfere with the communication between the brain and the body.

Spinal muscular atrophy

Spinal muscular atrophy is a genetic condition that impacts the muscles responsible for movement. The muscles, including those in the spinal cord, can weaken and waste away due to this condition. Over a period of time, this may result in damage to the spinal cord and various other complications.

Degenerative disc disease

When the discs between the vertebrae in the spine deteriorate, it leads to degenerative disc disease, resulting in pain and other symptoms. Spinal cord injuries can occur when the discs degenerate and compress the spinal cord and nerves.

Promoting natural healing for spinal cord injury

In Ayurveda, the imbalance of Vata, Pitta, and Kapha Doshas is believed by Ayurveda to be the cause of spinal diseases. Surgeries are often required for most spinal disorders to improve mobility. However, Ayurvedic treatment for spinal cord injury offers non-surgical methods to treat spinal ailments. When the spinal cord is injured, inflammation affects both the nerve cells and nearby tissues. The focus is on using anti-inflammatory treatments and medications to alleviate inflammation
