Recurring neck pain is rarely just muscle tightness. It usually signals an underlying cervical disc problem, nerve irritation, or joint degeneration that stretching alone cannot fix. The four most common structural causes are cervical disc herniation, cervical spondylosis, spinal canal stenosis, and tech neck postural syndrome. At DakshinRehab in Moosapet, our physiotherapists pinpoint the exact structural cause through neurological and postural assessment — so treatment targets the source, not the symptom.


Cervical Disc Herniation
Bulging or herniated disc in the cervical spine compresses nerve roots, causing radiating pain, tingling, and weakness in the arm and hand.

Cervical Spondylosis
Age-related wear of cervical vertebrae and discs causes stiffness, grinding, and nerve impingement. Common after age 40 but increasingly seen in younger adults with desk jobs.

Cervical Stenosis
Narrowing of the cervical spinal canal compresses the spinal cord or nerve roots, causing neck pain with arm numbness, balance issues, and hand clumsiness.

Tech Neck / Forward Head Posture
Prolonged screen use shifts the head forward, overloading cervical muscles and joints by up to 27 kg of additional force. Causes chronic neck pain, headaches, and upper back tension.
Neck pain is rarely "just a stiff neck." These three symptom patterns tell us exactly where the problem originates — and how to fix it.
A sharp or burning pain that travels from your neck into the shoulder, arm, or fingers — often with tingling or numbness. This radicular pattern indicates a compressed cervical nerve root, typically at C5–C7, caused by a disc bulge or foraminal narrowing. Early decompression prevents chronic nerve damage.
A dull ache at the base of your skull, limited ability to turn your head, and tension headaches that start from the neck. This cervicogenic pattern points to upper cervical joint dysfunction or deep flexor weakness — common in desk workers, and highly treatable with targeted mobilisation and posture correction.
Pain and fatigue that builds through the workday, eases on weekends, then returns Monday morning. This postural overload pattern is caused by forward head posture stressing the cervical discs and facet joints. Without correction, it progressively worsens and can lead to disc degeneration.
Most clinics treat neck pain with rest and collar immobilization. At DakshinRehab in Moosapet, we combine cervical spine specialists with FDA-cleared decompression technology that targets the compressed disc and irritated nerve — not just the stiff muscle.


Neck collars weaken cervical muscles over time, and painkillers only mask the nerve compression causing your pain. Our physiotherapy protocols decompress the cervical spine mechanically, restore nerve mobility, and strengthen the deep stabilizers that hold your neck in proper alignment long-term.
Certified physiotherapists trained in cervical decompression, neuro-dynamic therapy, and postural rehabilitation.
We identify whether your neck pain originates from disc herniation, spondylosis, stenosis, or postural dysfunction.

Most neck pain resolves with physiotherapy, but these warning signs may indicate spinal cord compression, cervical myelopathy, or a serious underlying condition. If you notice any of the following, seek a same-day spine evaluation at DakshinRehab in Moosapet.
Progressive arm weakness or difficulty gripping objects — may indicate cervical nerve root compression
Numbness or tingling spreading into both hands or below the waist — possible cervical myelopathy
Difficulty with balance, coordination, or walking — signs of spinal cord compression
Bladder or bowel changes alongside neck pain — requires urgent evaluation
Neck pain after a fall, accident, or head injury — fracture must be ruled out
Severe headache with neck stiffness and fever — may indicate meningitis or infection

Headaches originating from stiff cervical joints or tight suboccipital muscles. Our protocol combines cervical mobilization, deep neck flexor retraining, and TECAR therapy to resolve the source rather than mask symptoms.

A bulging or herniated cervical disc compresses nerve roots, causing arm pain, tingling, and weakness. We use Chattanooga DTS cervical decompression to retract disc material without surgery.

Age-related wear of cervical discs and joints causing chronic neck stiffness and nerve irritation. Our approach combines 3-Tesla EMTT for tissue healing, manual therapy, and postural correction.

Compression of nerves and blood vessels between the neck and shoulder causes arm numbness, tingling, and weakness. We use nerve gliding, Redcord scapular stabilization, and ergonomic correction to decompress the thoracic outlet.

I suffered from chronic lower back pain for 3 years. Could barely sit or stand for more than 10 minutes. After DTS spine decompression and core strengthening at DakshinRehab, I am completely pain-free. Back to my normal life and even playing with my grandchildren.

Knee Pain & Osteoarthritis • 55 years • Moosapet
Knee osteoarthritis made every step painful. Doctors suggested surgery, but I wanted to try physiotherapy first. The 3D gait analysis and customized exercise program at DakshinRehab changed everything. Now I walk 30 minutes daily without any pain or medication.

Frozen Shoulder Recovery • 42 years • KPHB
Frozen shoulder left me unable to lift my arm or sleep properly for months. The combination of manual therapy, shockwave treatment, and Redcord Neurac at DakshinRehab gave me complete range of motion back. Incredible results without surgery.
Lakshmi Devi
Stroke Rehabilitation • 62 years • Miyapur
After my stroke, I could not move my left side at all. The neuro rehab team at DakshinRehab worked with me daily using EMG biofeedback and robotic therapy. Today I walk with minimal support and can do most daily activities independently. My family is amazed at my recovery.
