What this article covers
Neck pain is common and hard to treat once chronic. Improper sleeping posture is listed among primary causes. Lifestyle changes matter, not only procedures such as PRP and prolotherapy.

Neck pain relief, simply!
Neck pain from sleep posture and desk work. Change what provokes it, keep moving in a range that is not painful, and know when a knot or a neck joint needs clinic care.
This article is from Dr. Nitish Mandal, Consultant Pain Physician in Bangalore, with clinics in Koramangala and J.P. Nagar.
What to do today
Avoid the looking-down and low-pillow positions that increase the pain. Keep moving the neck in a range that is not painful. Absolute rest for weeks weakens supporting muscles.
When simple changes are not enough
A firm knot in trapezius may be a trigger point. Wear in the small joints of the neck may be spondylitis. The neck pain page explains how those are sorted, and when RF / PRF or a diagnostic block is discussed.

I have tried tablets and physiotherapy. What is different here?
Find the source of the pain, then treat that source with a clinic injection, block, or infusion. You are typically able to go home the same day.
Where are the clinics, and do I need an appointment?
Koramangala and J.P. Nagar. Prior appointment is preferred. You can book from this website.
