Timing is not a hinderence for those calling from any time zones,  we consider late appointments after 10:00 pm IST also. 

The fee is minimal, so do not hesitate before contacting.  

 Patients who come for treatment at our clinic often tell us that their parents need consultation as well, but they are based in some other city.These are mostly chronic problems like arthritis, back-related problems or old injuries.  

 Few of these cases end up coming to us whenever they are here in Bangalore for a holiday. Follow-up treatment for such cases is generally done via phone or emails. Sometimes we refer them to follow up with physio clinics available near them.  

 This way we have treated many cases from across India and few cases from other countries as well. Particularly in Singapore, UAE, USA and Australia where some of our patients have moved permanently; they say getting a Physical Therapy appointment is a long and costly procedure there, so they find it easier to consult us online.  

 In India, our online consultations have become popular particularly in few cities where our patients mostly introduce us to their near and dear ones. We have never done any publicity for the same. Some of these cities where we are known include:

Kota
Jabalpur
Allahabad
Secunderabad
Raipur
Jaipur
Ratlam
Bhopal
Cuttack

Hyderabad 

Delhi

 The reason for writing this post today is that we are available at your service as and when you require. 

Make sure that your physical health continues to be maintained irrespective of your location.

When Should I use a Cervical Collar ?

Some common questions asked by neck pain patients :

1. Should I use a Cervical Collar ?

2. Should I sleep without pillow ? 

3. Should I take any pain killers ?

4. Should I stop all exercise ?

It should be understood that all cases can not be generalised.

If you have pain due to muscle spasm or regular use of computers, then you may continue with all exercise,continue to use pillow,avoid pain killers and do not need a collar.

If there is a problem with vertebral alignment like changes in normal cervical curvature or disc compression /bulge then it needs to be handled more carefully. In very few cases pain killers and cervical collar may be required. Most people may be able to continue moderate form of exercise but exercise should be prescribed after elaborate assessment. Exercise prescription should be done only by a Physical Therapist. Patient should have no confusion about the fact that only a qualified Physical Therapist prescribes exercise. Teaching or training exercise is completely different from prescribing exercise.

 Pain killers or any form of medication is not a part of physio treatment,so one should not expect this to be discussed at a physio consultation. In most mechanical pains medicine and physiotherapy are two parallel forms of treatment and any one of them may be enough to subside the pain.Patient needs to  make a choice if he wants temporary relief by pain killers or permanent cure by complete rehabilitation.

In some European countries pain relief medication is prescribed by physiotherapists ,this is done in cases where physiotherapy alone may not work.In India it may be a teamwork between a physician and physio in cases where both exercise and medicine is needed.
