Abstract

Cervical spondylosis—a prevalent cause of chronic neck pain and functional disability—was studied in 100 adults at a tertiary care centre over 18 months. Participants were treated with individualized homeopathic therapy based on miasmatic analysis and constitution, using rigorous assessment tools: Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Neck Disability Index (NDI), and Universal Goniometer. Substantial improvements in pain, mobility, and disability profiles were statistically validated. This elaborated report supports the scientific integration of homeopathy for chronic musculoskeletal disorders.
