Online Physiotherapy
for Cervical Spondylosis & Cervical Pain

The degenerative changes in the bones and discs are not reversible, but the pain and dysfunction absolutely are. Most patients with cervical spondylosis achieve 80–90% pain reduction and full functional recovery with targeted physiotherapy. The symptoms — not the structural changes — are what matter.

Yes, effectively. The key treatments — postural correction, deep neck flexor strengthening, thoracic mobility, and neural mobilisation — are all deliverable via video and home exercise. Dr. Ponkhi can assess your posture, screen use habits, and pillow setup remotely, which is often more comprehensive than a clinic visit.

Only for short-term pain relief in acute flare-ups. Prolonged collar use weakens the neck muscles and worsens long-term outcomes. Dr. Ponkhi's approach focuses on building active strength and control — the only sustainable long-term solution.

Heavy overhead lifting, neck circles (full circumduction), and high-impact activities like running on hard surfaces can worsen cervical symptoms. Any forward-head posture activity (prolonged phone use, bending over a desk) also aggravates the condition. Dr. Ponkhi will identify your personal aggravating factors in the assessment.

Related but distinct. Cervical spondylosis describes the general degenerative process. A cervical disc herniation (slip disc) is a specific event within that degenerative process where the disc material compresses a nerve root. The treatment principles overlap but differ in specifics — which is why a precise diagnosis matters.
