Neck Pain and Cervical Spondylosis Physiotherapy in LB Nagar

Neck Problems We Treat

At Legend Physiotherapy we see patients with a wide range of neck complaints. The most common conditions we help with include:

• Cervical spondylosis — age-related wear of the discs and joints in the cervical spine, causing stiffness and aching that sometimes spreads into the shoulders.
• Stiff neck and muscle spasm — often triggered by poor sleeping positions, sudden movements or stress.
• “Text neck” — forward-head posture from prolonged phone or laptop use, increasingly common among young professionals in Hyderabad’s IT corridor.
• Cervical radiculopathy — a pinched nerve in the neck that sends pain, tingling or weakness down the arm and into the hand.

How We Assess Your Neck

Every patient begins with a detailed one-on-one assessment. Dr Sirish or a member of our team will check your range of movement, test nerve function in your arms and hands, assess muscle strength and palpate the cervical joints. We may ask about your daily posture habits, workstation setup and sleep position. If imaging such as an X-ray or MRI is needed, we will refer you — but many patients do not need scans before starting treatment.

Treatment: Mobilisation, Strengthening and Traction

Your treatment plan is built around your specific diagnosis and goals. Common approaches we use include:

• Manual mobilisation — gentle, graded movements applied to stiff cervical joints to restore range and reduce pain.
• Strengthening exercises — progressive exercises for the deep neck flexors and scapular stabilisers that support the cervical spine long-term.
• Cervical traction — mechanical or manual traction to decompress nerve roots, used where clinically suitable after a full assessment.
• Electrotherapy and laser — TENS, ultrasound or low-level laser therapy may be used alongside exercises to manage pain in the early stages.

Most patients begin to notice improvement within 3 to 5 sessions, though chronic conditions may take longer. We set clear milestones and adjust the plan as you progress.

Workstation and Pillow Advice for Desk Workers

A large proportion of the neck pain we see at the clinic is linked to prolonged desk work. Small changes can make a real difference:

• Position your screen at eye level so you are not looking down or up.
• Keep your keyboard and mouse close to avoid reaching forward.
• Take a 30-second break every 30 minutes to move your neck and shoulders.
• Choose a pillow that supports the natural curve of your neck — a medium-firm contour pillow suits most people.

During your sessions we will review your specific setup and suggest adjustments that may help prevent recurrence.

Warning Signs That Need a Doctor

Most neck pain responds well to physiotherapy, but certain symptoms require urgent medical attention. Please go to a hospital or call your doctor if you experience:

• Severe headache with a stiff neck and fever (possible meningitis).
• Progressive weakness or loss of coordination in the arms or legs.
• Loss of bladder or bowel control.
• Neck pain after a fall, road accident or other trauma.
