Extreme cold weather conditions and excessive use of smartphones have contributed to the problem of developing Spondylitis, it is an inflammatory disease that, over time, can cause some of the bones in the spine (vertebrae) to fuse. This fusing makes the spine less flexible and can result in a hunched posture. This condition is called ankylosing spondylitis and the pain caused by it may be severe. Conventional pain relief medications may cause uncomfortable side effects.
If you’re looking for an alternative treatment, Swami Ramdev has shared effective tips, yoga poses and home remedies.
