The demands of professional and social life, coupled with increasing physical and psychological stress, have contributed to significant changes in lifestyle and occupational patterns leading to degenerative diseases , one such condition is Manyastambha , which is becoming increasingly common .Prolonged sitting, improper posture at the workplace, continuous work in a single position, repetitive activities, overexertion, and sudden or jerky movements during travel and sports can place excessive mechanical stress on the cervical spine leading to increased prevalence of Manyastambha . Persistent exposure to such stresses may lead to degenerative changes in the intervertebral discs and cervical vertebral structures, thereby contributing to the development and progression of Cervical Spondylosis.

Methods : The Study was primarily based on subjective assessment parameters

Conclusion : The combined Ayurvedic management including Greeva Basti, Patra pottali sweda , nasya , abhyanga demonstrated a remarkable improvement in the assessed subjective parameters
