Arthritis Neck Treatment in India

Amit Singh, a 52-year-old software architect and father of two, had always been active, playing weekend cricket with his sons. Over the past three years, he developed persistent stiffness and a deep, grinding pain in his neck, especially after long hours at his desk. Simple acts like checking his blind spot while driving or looking up at a whiteboard during meetings became excruciating. His primary care doctor referred him to a rheumatologist, Dr. Sharma, who diagnosed severe cervical spondylosis (arthritis of the neck). Amit was devastated, fearing it meant the end of his active lifestyle and constant pain. Dr. Sharma recommended a course of targeted corticosteroid injections into the facet joints of his neck to reduce inflammation and break the pain cycle. The procedure, done under imaging guidance, was quick with only mild pressure. Within a week, the intense, sharp pain subsided significantly. Combined with prescribed physical therapy, Amit regained over 70% of his neck mobility within two months. Emotionally, he moved from a place of fear and frustration to one of immense relief and hope. He's back to playing gentle cricket with his boys, managing his desk posture diligently, and feels back in control of his life.
