Understanding Neck & Shoulder Pain
Neck and shoulder pain is frequently caused by cervical spondylosis, frozen shoulder, or prolonged poor posture from desk work and screen use. Symptoms range from stiffness and restricted movement to sharp pain and postural headaches. Because the shoulder and cervical spine are closely linked, an accurate assessment is essential before starting treatment.
Dr. Sandesha Sonawane evaluates your posture, range of motion, and pain pattern during the first home visit to identify the underlying cause before building a treatment plan.
Who May Benefit
- Patients with diagnosed cervical spondylosis or neck stiffness
- Frozen shoulder cases with restricted range of motion
- Desk workers with postural neck pain and tension headaches
- Patients seeking hands-on manual therapy without clinic travel
Our Treatment Approach
Treatment centers on manual mobilization, targeted stretching, and dry needling where appropriate, combined with posture-correction guidance for daily activities. Every plan follows the same structured process:
- Clinical Assessment — evaluating neck and shoulder range of motion, muscle strength, and pain triggers
- Custom Treatment Plan — a recovery roadmap tailored to cervical or shoulder-specific findings
- Interactive Home Visits — manual therapy and supervised exercises at your home
- Recovery Monitoring — tracking mobility gains and adjusting the plan over time
What to Expect at Home
Sessions run about 45 to 60 minutes and combine hands-on manual therapy with supervised exercises. All required therapeutic equipment is brought to your home. A doctor's prescription is helpful but not mandatory to begin treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Physiotherapy for frozen shoulder generally focuses on restoring range of motion through graded mobilization and stretching. Progress depends on the stage of stiffness, which is assessed during the first home visit.
Cervical spondylosis pain is often linked to age-related wear of the neck's discs and joints, and postural strain. Home physiotherapy can help manage symptoms through manual mobilization, posture correction, and targeted stretching.
Dry needling may be used as part of a neck and shoulder treatment plan alongside manual mobilization and stretching, depending on the assessment findings for your specific case.
A standard home physiotherapy session takes about 45 to 60 minutes, including assessment, hands-on treatment, and supervised therapeutic exercises.
