Namaste!
Thank you for stopping by my channel :)
Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) is a skeletal disorder characterized by unusual, new bone formation which looks almost like melted wax. The new bone forms most often where ligaments and tendons but there is also a generalized hardening of bones and bone overgrowth. Although these changes are most often seen in the spine, DISH can affect almost any part of the skeleton, including hips, knees, ankles, feet, shoulders, hands, and ribs. Many people with DISH do not have any symptoms, but in some cases the symptoms get worse over time and become quite severe. The most common symptoms are pain, stiffness and reduced range of motion of the neck or upper back.
DISH is caused by the build up of calcium salts in the tendons and ligaments (calcification) and abnormal new bone growth (ossification) but the reason this happens is unknown. The science doesn't have answer to it Hence idiopathic name was given. Researchers believe some combination of mechanical, genetic,environmental, and metabolic factors are involved. People with Diabetes can be more prone to DISH. DISH is more common in people over 50 and in men.
There are no cure found in modern medicine yet. Here I have shown few gentle yoga poses which will help control symptoms and give some relief from pain.
