Ankylosing spondylitis:
an auto-immune disease characterised by inflammation of the vertebral joints
eventually causing the effect of vertebral fusion. The spine becomes stiff and
rigid. The condition usually starts in the
sacroiliac
area and the earliest symptom may be waking with stiffness of the lower back.
This becomes progressively worse and extends up the spine until the dorsal
spine and the ribs are involved causing chest pains and
difficulty
breathing. If the upper spine is affected then the TMJ and the eyes can be
affected.
Swimming is
good but daily exercise of some sort is essential. Sleep on a hard mattress and
without a pillow. Avoid being sedentary too long. Avoid lifting. Aesc-h. and
Calc-fl. can be of help therapeutically.
Most common
remedies: Aesc.; Con.; Kalmia; Nat-m.; Rhus-tox. Consider Silverfish;
Rad-brom.; Sycamore; Ayahuasca.
Osteoarthritis:
Drying out of the joints and breaking down of the cartilage. < obesity; <
acid diet; < over-use of laxatives.
Consider: Emerald;
Rhodochrosite; Black Obsidian; Sycamore Seed.
Cervical
spondylosis: is a form of arthritis in which the vertebrae in the neck begin to
grow extra bone causing numbness, stiffness, pins and needles and pain into the
hands.
Headache,
vertigo, unsteadiness and diplopia can result.
Consider: Agar.
Pic-ac. Kalm. Tree Calcite. Lepisma saccharina.
Fibrositis:
brought on when adhesion between muscle fibres cause stiffness and pain. Often
the result of repetitive strain injury or poor posture with unaccustomed
movement or emotional tension.
Consider:
Nat-m.; Sea Salt; Rose Quartz; Rhodochrosite; Emerald; Berlin Wall; Ign.
Herniated
and prolapsed disc: Partial rupture of a buffer disc between the vertebrae or a
severely ruptured disc. The outer casing of the disc collapses and the soft
inner ‘jelly’ protrudes and presses on adjacent ligaments or
nerve
tissue. Lower vertebrae are more likely to go but it can happen in the thoracic
spine and even in the neck as well. Sciatica can be the result of lower spine
(lumbar) disc trouble.
Consider:
Rhodochrosite, Emerald, Sea Salt.

Lumbago:
strain in the back from lifting unwisely or over-strenuous exercise.
Osteoporosis:
loss of bone due to ageing, physical inactivity, hormone changes, medical drugs
(steroids and asthma drugs) and parathyroid insufficiency (produce too little
calcitonin).
Consider:
changing the diet (> vegetarian); Tree Calcite; Chalcancite; Silverfish.
Paget’s
disease: a condition in which new but poor quality bone is produced faster than
old bone is broken down. Old bone cells are replaced by fibrous tissue and
blood vessel but the body fails to calcify this properly
leaving the
area weak and softened. The resulting bone is more liable to fracture and is
subject to scoliosis.
Consider: Calc-p;
Sil.; Aur-met. Also
Syph.; Chalcancite.
Sciatica:
Sharp pain shooting down the leg due to disc trouble in lumbar spine.
