Neck therapy is a specialized branch of physical therapy essential for addressing various neck-related issues, including –
- Cervical Spondylosis
- Disc Prolapse (PIVD)
- Muscular Strain
Patients with these conditions often experience debilitating symptoms like neck pain, stiffness, and limited mobility.
- Cervical Spondylosis a degenerative condition, results from wear and tear on the cervical spine. Neck therapy for this condition typically involves exercises to improve neck strength and flexibility, manual therapy to alleviate pain, and posture correction to reduce stress on the spine.
- Disc Prolapse (PIVD) also known as a slipped or herniated disc, can cause severe neck pain and nerve compression. Neck therapy aims to relieve pressure on the affected disc through techniques like traction and gentle exercises that promote disc repositioning while strengthening the surrounding muscles.
- Muscular Strain often due to poor posture or overuse, is a common cause of neck discomfort. Therapists employ techniques such as massage, stretching, and strengthening exercises to alleviate muscle tension and promote healing.
In all cases, personalized treatment plans are developed after a thorough assessment, considering the patient’s unique needs and condition severity. The goal of neck therapy remains consistent: to restore pain-free neck function, prevent future issues, and enhance the patient’s overall quality of life.
