Cervical · Non-surgical treatment in Delhi NCR
Cervical Spondylosis & Neck Disc Disease
Also called: Neck arthritis · Cervical disc herniation · Tech neck · Cervical radiculopathy
Delhi's most rapidly growing spinal complaint, driven by laptops, phones and 90-minute commutes. Reversible in its early stages, manageable and pain-free in its later ones.
Quick answer
How is Cervical Spondylosis & Neck Disc Disease treated?
Cervical spondylosis is age- and posture-related wear of the neck discs and facet joints that can compress nerves and cause neck pain, headaches and arm symptoms. Back2Health treats it with cervical spinal decompression, precise chiropractic adjustments, laser and deep neck flexor retraining — no collars, no long-term painkillers.
Symptoms patients describe
- Persistent neck stiffness, worse in the morning or after screen work
- Headaches starting at the base of the skull (cervicogenic headache)
- Pain radiating into the shoulder blade, arm or fingers
- Tingling or weakness in the hand and grip
- Dizziness, and a grinding or clicking sensation on turning the head
Why it happens
- Forward head posture — every 2.5 cm forward adds ~4.5 kg of load to the neck
- Laptop and phone use without eye-level screens
- Disc dehydration and facet joint degeneration with age
- Old whiplash or sports injuries
- Sleeping on unsupportive or excessively high pillows
Assessment
How we confirm the diagnosis before touching your spine.
No two patients with the same MRI need the same plan. This is the examination sequence used at the first visit.
- 01Cervical range of motion and segmental palpation
- 02Spurling's test, distraction test and upper limb tension tests
- 03Deep neck flexor endurance testing
- 04Postural photography with craniovertebral angle measurement
- 05X-ray or MRI review for foraminal narrowing and disc height
Treatment protocol
How Back2Health treats cervical spondylosis & neck disc disease.
Phased, measured and time-bound. Your exact schedule is set after the first assessment.
Phase 1 — Unload the neck
Weeks 1–2
Cervical decompression at low, precisely angled tension to open the foramina; laser for radicular arm pain; soft-tissue release of the suboccipitals and upper trapezius.
Phase 2 — Restore motion
Weeks 3–5
Chiropractic adjustments of the restricted cervical and upper thoracic segments, dry needling of trigger points, and thoracic extension mobility work.
Phase 3 — Hold the correction
Weeks 6–8
Deep neck flexor and scapular retraining, screen and desk ergonomics, pillow prescription, and a five-minute daily posture reset.
Technology used for this condition
Realistic outlook
Headaches and neck stiffness usually improve within 3–5 sessions. Arm radiculopathy takes longer but responds strongly to cervical decompression.
When not to wait
- Clumsy hands, dropping objects, or unsteady walking (possible myelopathy)
- Sudden severe neck pain with fever
- Drop attacks or visual disturbance
Answers
Cervical Spondylosis & Neck Disc Disease: common questions.
Is cervical spondylosis curable?+
The structural wear is permanent, but the pain, stiffness and nerve symptoms are highly treatable. Patients who correct posture and keep the deep neck flexors strong usually remain symptom-free.
Is chiropractic safe for the neck?+
In IACD-licensed hands, yes. Dr. Shiv Bajaj screens every neck case before adjusting, and uses low-force techniques or decompression alone where indicated.
