PIVD Prolapsed Inter Vertebral Disc IVDP
PIVD is protrusion of pulpy inner material of an intervertebral disc through the fibrous outer coat causing pressure on adjoining nerve roots, ligaments etc.
Actually what happens in PIVD?
The spine or back bone is comprised of number of vertebrae which are placed over one another with support of inter vertebral disc. The disc is filled with a pulpy matter surrounded by a fibrous sheath. When the gap between two vertebrae is reduced due to some external or internal reason the inner matter is compressed and prolapsed at a soft part of the sheath. That causes pressure over the adjoining nerve roots and ligaments giving rise to pain, low back pain, sciatica pain, lumbar pain, lumbar spondylosis, stiffness, swelling, numbness, dysfunction, muscle wasting, burning sensation etc.
Spinal Canal Stenosis
Spinal canal stenosis means constriction in the spinal canal. This is otherwise called canal stenosis. When two adjacent vertebrae compress the inter vertebral disc, the disc gets prolapsed into the spinal canal. The prolapsed disc may compress the thecal sac or this spinal chord. A spinal canal stenosis at lower end like L5-S1 may cause pressure over the cauda equina. Spinal canal stenosis treatment is possible in Ayurveda. At Astang Ayurveda hospital, we practice spinal canal stenosis treatment with Ayurveda panchakarma treatment and Ayurvedic medicine. Click here for spinal canal stenosis treatment
