Randomized trial demonstrates the effectiveness of Yogabasti in reducing cervical spondylosis symptoms in IT professionals, suggesting potential improvements in health and productivity.
Cervical spondylosis is a degenerative condition affecting the cervical spine and is increasingly prevalent among Information Technology (IT) professionals due to prolonged computer use, poor posture, repetitive movements, and sedentary lifestyles. Early symptoms such as neck pain, stiffness, headache, shoulder discomfort, and reduced mobility significantly affect productivity and quality of life. In Ayurveda, cervical spondylosis can be correlated with conditions involving aggravated Vata Dosha, particularly Greeva Sandhigata Vata. Yogabasti, a specialized Ayurvedic Panchakarma therapy consisting of a combination of Niruha Basti (decoction enema) and Anuvasana Basti (oil enema), is considered effective in managing Vata disorders. This article explores the therapeutic role of Yogabasti in early cervical spondylosis among IT professionals, discussing its mechanism, procedure, benefits, and clinical relevance.
