Cervical spondylosis. This condition?

As u told after working on desk for 2-3 hrs or driving u got ur pain...that's not a thing to be taken lightly as day by day it may get worse. so better start physiotherapy exercises soon...don't do push up now...first let the pain get cure...gradually by correct posture like sitting straight with support on back and avoid prolong sitting for hrs...take a short break in-between work then u may continue

Don't let your neck get stiff for that u need to do regular neck isometric and stretching exercises...for more details consult me online

Do icing over stiff muscle areas on neck twice daily

You mri shows some degeneration, but it’s not problematic. Follow computer ergonomics which involves taking a break and stretching every 30 minutes. Also table and chair height should be appropriate Neck extensors strengthening and trapezius stretching will help you in muscle pain.

Take pain killer + muscle relaxant for few days, and start exercises

Avoid sitting in same posture for long, maintain hydration

You can do push-ups, but with caution. Since there’s disc protrusion and thecal sac compression, it's important to strengthen safely. Avoid overloading the neck. Focus on posture correction, scapular stability, and cervical isometrics first. .

Head to Heel physiotherapy & sports fitness Rehabilitation clinic , porur , chennai Dr ANDREW JAYA SINGH (senior sports & fitness consultant ) INSTRUCTIONS TO BE FOLLOWED DURING THERAPY 1. During therapy sessions, the most important aspect is REST. You must avoid physical strain and exertion as therapy helps your body heal. Rest is essential for your body to sustain the improvements of therapy. 2. Don’t overstrain. Avoid sudden, jerky, unaccustomed, or prolonged physical activities (like bending, lifting, pushing, pulling, or carrying loads). Activities that can aggravate your musculoskeletal health problem must be avoided. 3. Be patient. Therapy is like brushing teeth and shampooing hair; it has to be done regularly. Therapy brings gradual changes, not instant results. 4. Do not expect your doctor or therapist to do magic. Only with your consistent cooperation, following therapy sessions, home exercise programs, and lifestyle changes, will your condition improve. 5. Diet is very important. Eat healthy, balanced meals containing vegetables, fruits, cereals, pulses, nuts, and seeds. Avoid junk food. Drink water adequately. 6. Do not lift weights, run, jump, or do any sudden movements during therapy, unless specifically instructed. 7. Avoid lifting heavy objects and handbags. Carrying weights on your shoulders, in one hand, or on the back can worsen the condition. 8. First few days of therapy may cause slight increase of pain, pressure, or soreness. This is very normal and will subside in subsequent days of therapy. --- INSTRUCTIONS TO BE FOLLOWED DURING REHABILITATION 1. Don’t avoid or delay exercises prescribed. Engage yourself in daily activities during rehabilitation. You will observe that simple movements become complex as they need proper muscle control, stability, and coordination. The complexity improves at a later stage as rehabilitation progresses into functional training. 2. Discontinuing yourself from therapy / rehabilitation can lead to aggravation or relapse of symptoms. Regular exercise can help maintain your musculoskeletal health and good health in general. 3. Identify limitations. Do not exceed your own exercise tolerance. Breathing rate is a good indicator. Don’t exercise to the extent of breathlessness. 4. Appropriate and recommended exercises code to be followed could avoid accidents during exercise. 5. Appropriate warm-up and cool-down after workout is necessary. 6. Adequate hydration is important. Only sip water while you are exercising. Drink water from your bottle in between exercises, but not more than 1–2 sips. 7. Make sure your fluid intake is balanced. Consult your nutritionist to take nutrition guidance that fits your conditions. Active and healthy lifestyle with right nutrition, right exercise, and emotional health are essential for a pain-free and independent life. --- 📞 Helpline: nine nine four one four one two four three five 📧 Email: headtoheelphysiotherapyclinic.com 🌐 Website: www.headtoheelphysiotherapyclinic.com
