Dr Purnajyoti Banerjee offers comprehensive assessment and treatment for patients experiencing acute or persistent neck problems, helping you return to normal activities.

What Is Neck Pain Treatment?
Neck pain treatment addresses the underlying causes of cervical spine discomfort, including cervical disc degeneration or disc herniation, facet joint arthritis, or nerve compression causing numbness or weakness.
Dr Purnajyoti Banerjee is a cervical spine specialist, providing expert diagnosis and management for patients experiencing stiffness, reduced range of motion, or headaches associated with neck tension. Treatment begins with an assessment using clinical examination and, where needed, imaging to identify the precise source of your symptoms and develop an effective treatment plan.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should a neck pain specialist be seen instead of a GP?
A specialist is appropriate when pain lasts over 4–6 weeks, radiates to the arm, causes neurological symptoms, or continues to limit daily function despite early treatment.
Is surgery required for chronic neck pain?
Most cases respond to non-surgical care. Surgery is recommended only when conservative treatment fails and imaging confirms structural pathology needing intervention.
How is the cause diagnosed?
Diagnosis involves clinical examination, movement and neurological testing, with MRI or X-rays used when needed to visualise discs and joints.
Do injections work for neck pain?
Image-guided injections provide significant relief for many suitable patients and help determine the most effective next step.
Can neck pain be prevented after treatment?
Posture correction, strengthening exercises, flexibility training, and ergonomic adjustments significantly reduce the risk of recurrence.
