Cervical spondylosis is an age related disorder which starts with intervertebral disc degeneration. It is basically osteoarthritis of cervical spine. In Unani System of Medicine, cervical spondylosis is known as Waja-ul-Unq. Clinically Waja-ul-Unq comes under the heading of Waja-ul-Mafasil (Arthritis) while osteoarthritis is termed as Tehjurul Mafasil in Unani. Ilaj-bit-Tadbeer (Regimenal Therapy) is one of the methods of treatment from Unani medicine which revolves around modulation, modification or enhancement of Asbab-e-Sitta Zarooriya (Six Essential Causes). Regimenal Therapy works on the principle of Ilaj-biz-Zid (Antagonist treatment/ Heterotherapy). Therapies of Ilaj-bit-Tadbeer like Dalak (Massage), Riyazat (Exercise), Hamam-e-Turki (Turkish Bath), Bakhoor (Medicated Steam), Natool (Irrigation), Fasd (Venesection), Zimad (Paste), Tila (Liniment) and Hijamah (Cupping) are effective in treating cervical spondylosis.
