Suffering with stiffness in spine
Asked for Others, 25 Years
Dr. Jyothi Kadkol
Hello, I understand how troubling and frustrating this stiffness must feel especially after already dealing with a C5–C6 disc bulge just 6 months ago. Even after medical treatment and physiotherapy, many patients continue to experience severe stiffness, tightness around the neck and spine, restricted movement, and a feeling as if the whole back is “locked.” Please don’t worry—this is common, and it can definitely be improved with the right combination of treatment + rehabilitation + lifestyle correction. Why your stiffness is not reducing After a disc bulge, the surrounding muscles and ligaments often become chronically tight as a protective mechanism. Over time this leads to: Cervical muscle spasm Inflammation around the discs Trigger points in the upper back Poor posture Nerve sensitivity Sleep disturbance and fatigue Even if the disc bulge settles, the stiffness can remain for months unless the root cause is treated. What you should do now Instead of random painkillers or general exercises, you need a targeted plan based on your symptom pattern. 1. Homeopathic treatment We have very effective medicines that help in: reducing muscle spasm relieving nerve pressure decreasing inflammation improving mobility preventing future flare-ups Patients with cervical disc bulge respond well when medicines are chosen based on their exact modality (pain increase on lying, increase on turning head, morning stiffness, radiating pain, etc.). 2. Physiotherapy needs to be customized Many times patients try basic physiotherapy, but they need cervical-specific protocols such as: isometric neck strengthening thoracic mobility scapular stabilization nerve gliding posture correction A wrong exercise can worsen stiffness. 3. Posture correction (very important) Cervical spine issues worsen with: long mobile use working with neck bent wrong pillow height sleeping posture issues These need correction for long-term relief. 4. Vitamin levels Low B12, Vitamin D3, or magnesium can also contribute to persistent stiffness. You don’t have to live with this stiffness With proper personalised treatment, most patients experience: reduced stiffness improved neck mobility less heaviness and tension better sleep improved quality of life within a few weeks. If you wish, you can book an online consultation with me. I will take your detailed history, assess the pattern of your stiffness, understand your posture/work routine, evaluate your reports, and start a personalised homeopathic treatment plan along with correct physiotherapy advice.Regards, Dr Jyoti Kadkol, Health Global Homoeopaty clinics.
