Cervical spondylosis refers to age-related degenerative changes in the cervical discs and vertebrae. Like lumbar disc findings, spondylotic changes on MRI are extremely common in adults over 35 — and frequently present in people with no pain at all. The finding on the scan is often not the primary driver of your symptoms. Postural loading, muscular imbalance, and movement restriction are almost universally present in patients with cervical pain and far more clinically relevant to treatment planning.

We offer home visits across Greater Noida West and the extended expressway sector belt. A home visit for our postural rehabilitation patients includes workstation assessment as a standard component. For patients who prefer clinic attendance, we conduct a virtual workstation assessment review as part of the programme.

Almost certainly yes, in a desk-working professional. Cervicogenic headaches — headaches originating from the cervical spine and suboccipital musculature — are extremely common and frequently misidentified as tension headaches or migraines. They typically present as unilateral or bilateral occipital pain that migrates to the front of the head, worsen with sustained postures, and are reproduced by cervical palpation. They respond well to physiotherapy; they do not respond well to repeated analgesia.

For pure postural pain without disc involvement, most patients show significant improvement within 6 to 8 sessions over 4 to 6 weeks, with a complete programme running 8 to 12 sessions. Patients with cervical disc or radiculopathy involvement typically require 12 to 16 sessions with a longer progression timeline.
