简要总结
Manyastambha is a vataj nanatmaj vyadhi mentioned in Charak samhita. It is caused due to kaph avrit vata and doshas get aggravated due to wrong sleeping , diwaspana, continously watching downward or upwards for a longer period of time causing over streching of neck muscles. This disorder presents with a notable loss of flexibility in the cervical region, which impairs the normal movement of neck.
This can be closely compared to Cervical Spondylosis due to their similar symptomalogy , particularly the pain and stiffness in the nape of neck. Cervical spondylosis has become one of the prevelant disorder affecting the cervical spine . It significantly impacts an individual quality of life.
Marma sharir is a a singificant aspect of Ayurveda, the traditional Indian symtem pf medicine . It is considered as Shalya ardha .Acharya Sushruta had described Marma from the surgical point of view, him being focused on surgeries but now a days Marma are being extensively used for therapeutic purpose specially for musculoskeltal pain. It focuses on the manipulation of specific vital points on the body
Cupping Therapy is an ancient therapeutic practice . This alternative treatment involves placing cups on the skin to create suction, which purposly helps to moblize flow ,alleviate pain and promote healing
The other treatment such as analgesics, anti inflammatory drugs, physiotherapy has its cons on form of complications like reccurence, permanent loss of working capabilities are a costly affair .There is a need for ongoing reseach to optimise management stratgies & fills due gap of pharmacological and surgical intervention .
