Cervical spondylosis is a degenerative condition marked by neck pain, stiffness, and restricted movements. In Ayurveda, it correlates with Manyastambha, a Vataja Nanatmaja Vyadhi. This case study illustrates the use of Viddha Karma, a parasurgical technique using Dry needling technique , in the management of a 32-year-old male patient with Manyastambha. The intervention provided substantial symptomatic relief within a short period, showcasing the efficacy and safety of the procedure. In Ayurveda, cervical spondylosis can be correlated with Manyastambha, one of the Vataja Nanatmaja Vyadhi (diseases caused predominantly by vitiated Vata dosha). Acharya Charaka describes Manyastambha as stiffness of the neck due to aggravated Vata leading to loss of normal movement and pain.
