Neck problems: help at home

This page is for anyone sent here from a prescription for a neck problem. What your problem is and how it will be treated is what your doctor explained in the clinic; this page does not replace that. It gathers the guides that help with the neck in general, and tells you when to come back sooner.

Do not wait for an appointment

These mean come the same day, not at the next appointment.

  • Weakness, numbness or pins and needles in either arm
  • Difficulty walking, clumsiness in the hands, or a change in bladder control
  • Severe pain in the middle of the neck after a fall or an accident
  • Fever with neck pain and stiffness
  • Pain that is getting worse every day, or wakes you every night
Neck & backGuides and adviceCome back as planned

Do this

  • Follow what your doctor told you today; it comes before anything on this page
  • Read the guides below in the language you prefer
  • Keep your next appointment, even if the neck feels better
  • Bring your X-rays and scans, the films and not only the reports

Avoid this

  • Starting exercises your doctor did not mark for you; what helps one neck problem can set another back
  • Hard massage, oil rubbing or cracking of the neck while it is painful or after an injury

On cost: if we suggest a scan, an injection or an operation, ask us what it costs and what happens if you do nothing. We will answer both. You should never feel pushed into spending money.

Consultation is ₹500 for a first visit and ₹300 for a follow-up, the same at both clinics. For anything else, ask at the desk or on WhatsApp before it is done — we will tell you the exact cost.

Should you come and see us?

A page is a starting point, not a diagnosis. If the pain is not settling, come in and have it looked at properly — bring any X-ray, MRI or CT films you already have.
