Do I need physiotherapy for extra bone growth?
Consultant Physiotherapist,
Apollo clinic,
Vadodara.
Q: I am a 28 years old lady having a two year old child. I am still breast feeding. Few months back I had severe neck and shoulder pain. I immediately showed to a doctor. The x-ray results indicated extra bones on either sides of vertebrae near the neck. The doctor suggested taking calcium tablets and physiotherapy but due to lack of time I could not do physiotherapy. Two days back, I developed severe giddiness and a sensation of vomiting. When I take rest or take heat therapy, I feel better but I am not sure whether it is because of the same bone problem. What do you suggest?
A:Your doctor has advised you correctly. You need to take physiotherapy treatment immediately. Your problem of giddiness is related to the same cause. You can go to a nearby physiotherapy clinic for short wave diathermy and cervical traction and neck and shoulder girdle exercises.If you are comfortable travelling to Andheri (West) and can manage your treatment schedules with a small child, you can call me on 9821219365 for an appointment.
