- Cervical radiculopathy: Nerve root compression producing burning or shooting pain down one arm into the fingers.
- Whiplash injury: Sudden neck movement from a road accident on Hinjewadi-Wakad Road or Bhumkar Chowk junction.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Sustained forward head posture during screen work reverses the natural cervical lordosis over time. This places abnormal mechanical load on cervical discs and facet joints, producing cervical spondylosis. Poor monitor height, inadequate chair support and the two-wheeler commute on Hinjewadi-Wakad Road all compound the problem.
Yes. Cervical spondylosis is a specific diagnosis confirmed by imaging showing disc and facet joint degeneration. Not all neck pain is spondylosis. Some originates from acute muscle strain, disc herniation or referred pain from the shoulder. Dr. Deokate identifies the specific cause before recommending treatment at Sunshine Hospital, Wakad.
Yes. Cervical radiculopathy from a herniated disc or bone spur compressing a nerve root produces pain, numbness and tingling radiating from the neck down one arm into the hand and fingers. This responds well to physiotherapy combined with selective nerve root block injections.
Most acute cases improve within ten to fifteen sessions over four to six weeks. Chronic cervical spondylosis requires an ongoing home exercise programme. Dr. Deokate prescribes a personalised programme based on the patient's work schedule and symptom severity.
