Cause Of Neck Pain

To understand the causes of neck pain, let us first try to comprehend the basic structure and functioning of our neck.

The cervical spine is the superior part of the vertebral column, which starts from the base of the cranium to the base of the neck. In case of any injury to this particular area gives rise to cervical pain.

Our neck consists of bones, ligaments, nerves, blood vessels, muscles, joints etc. Any external or internal problem affecting these structures can lead to pain in your neck. 

Reasons For Neck Pain in Ayurveda

From the perspective of Ayurveda, the major cause of neck pain lies in the damage to the Vata, Vata is the dosha which is predominantly responsible for the movement and functioning of our body organs.

Globally, Ayurvedic treatment for the spine and neck has proven to be the most effective. This is due to the reason that Ayurvedic treatments target the root cause of the diseases. At times, it also helps the patients avoid major surgeries for treating neck pain.

The Ayurvedic specialists work on the three ‘dosha’, for keeping them in perfect balance. The vitiated Vata is the central focus of Ayurvedic professionals to bring your health to equilibrium. The ultimate purpose of the Ayurvedic treatment is to get you relief from the pain, thereby helping you in restoring your day-to-day activities.
