Online Physiotherapy
for Cervical Spondylosis & Cervical Pain
in Kolkata

Yes. Clinical research confirms that tele-physiotherapy achieves equivalent or superior outcomes to in-person care for cervical spondylosis. Patients in Kolkata receive the same expert clinical diagnosis and personalised treatment protocols from Dr. Ponkhi Sharma PT via secure HD video call. No travel, no waiting room — just expert care from your home in Kolkata.

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.
