Cervical Spondylosis: Varanasi's Rising Problem
Cervical spondylosis — degenerative changes in the neck vertebrae and discs — is increasingly common in Varanasi due to prolonged screen use, mobile phone usage, desk work, and driving. It causes neck pain, stiffness, headaches, dizziness, and radiating pain or tingling down the arms. At VPARC, Dr. Prashant Punj provides expert physiotherapy that relieves symptoms and halts progression.
Cervical conditions treated at VPARC: cervical spondylosis, cervical disc herniation, cervicogenic headache, cervical myelopathy, neck muscle spasm, postural neck syndrome, and cervical radiculopathy.

Cervical Radiculopathy (Arm Pain from Neck)
When a cervical disc compresses a nerve root, pain, numbness, or weakness radiates into the arm. VPARC's traction and nerve mobilisation techniques specifically address nerve root compression with very high success rates.
