Understanding Neck & Lower Back Pain
Chronic neck and lower back pain can affect mobility and quality of life. Dr. Aparna Gupta takes a comprehensive approach to identify the source of pain — whether from muscles, joints, discs or compressed nerves — before recommending treatment.
Common causes include muscle strain, poor posture, cervical or lumbar spondylosis, disc prolapse (slip disc), spinal canal stenosis and nerve root compression causing radiculopathy or sciatica.
Our Treatment Approach
Most spine pain improves with non-surgical care. Treatment combines medicines, physiotherapy, posture correction and activity guidance, with imaging and nerve studies when needed. Patients who may need a procedure or surgery are referred appropriately.
- Clinical assessment to identify nerve involvement
- Pain-relief and nerve-pain medication when appropriate
- Structured physiotherapy at the Neuroheal centre
- Posture, ergonomic and exercise guidance
- MRI and NCV/EMG when clinically indicated
Every treatment plan is tailored after a detailed consultation. This page is for patient education and does not replace individual medical advice.
Symptoms That Need a Neurological Opinion
Recognising symptoms early helps you seek the right care at the right time.
Radiating Pain
Pain travelling from the neck into the arm, or from the back into the leg (sciatica).
Tingling or Numbness
Pins-and-needles in the hands, fingers, legs or feet.
Weakness
Weak grip, foot drop or difficulty climbing stairs.
Persistent Pain
Pain lasting more than a few weeks despite rest.
Stiffness
Reduced neck or back movement affecting daily activities.
Night Pain
Pain that disturbs sleep or is present at rest.
When Should You Seek Urgent Care?
Most consultations can be planned at the clinic, but some symptoms need immediate emergency assessment:
- Loss of bladder or bowel control or numbness in the saddle area
- Rapidly worsening weakness in the arms or legs
- Back pain with fever, weight loss or a history of cancer
- Severe pain after a fall or injury
If these symptoms are present, go to the nearest emergency department — do not wait for a routine clinic appointment.

Frequently Asked Questions About Neck & Lower Back Pain
When should I see a neurologist for back pain?
See a neurologist if back or neck pain spreads to the arms or legs, or comes with numbness, tingling, weakness or persistent symptoms that do not improve with rest.
Is MRI always needed for back pain?
No. Many cases of back pain do not need an MRI. It is advised when there are red-flag symptoms, nerve involvement or pain that does not settle with treatment.
Can sciatica be treated without surgery?
Most people with sciatica improve with medicines, physiotherapy and activity modification. Surgery is considered only in selected cases.
