Introduction:

We often blame stress or sleeping posture for our neck pain—but have you ever considered your workspace setup? In India, where most office spaces weren’t designed with spine health in mind, neck pain has silently become an epidemic among working professionals. As a Chiropractor and Physiotherapist, I’ve met countless patients at JointsnMotion with one thing in common: bad ergonomics.

Here are real-life stories of patients (names changed for privacy) and how they overcame neck pain through chiropractic and physiotherapy care.

Story 1: Priya – The Slouching Software Engineer from Bangalore

Priya, 28, a software developer, worked from home post-pandemic. Her workstation? A laptop on a dining table, no external keyboard, and a plastic chair.

She came in complaining of stiffness that gradually became persistent pain, especially when turning her head. On examination, we found classic signs of “text neck” and forward head posture.

What Helped:

• A combination of spinal adjustments, myofascial release, and posture correction exercises
• Educating her on ergonomics: laptop riser, ergonomic chair, and keyboard placement
• A daily 5-minute neck mobility routine

Result:
Priya was pain-free in 3 weeks and now advocates for “Ergo-friendly setups” in her company Slack channels!

Story 2: Rohit – The Sales Executive Always on the Phone

Rohit, 35, from Mumbai, spent hours each day on sales calls, holding his phone between his shoulder and ear while typing reports. His right trapezius and SCM (neck muscles) were in constant tension.

Chiropractic Insight:
His cervical spine was misaligned due to repetitive strain and poor posture.

Treatment Plan:

• Chiropractic adjustments of C3–C7 vertebrae
• Muscle energy techniques and dry needling for trigger point release
• Advice: Use earphones + maintain shoulder neutrality

Outcome:
Within 4 sessions, his range of motion improved, and neck spasms reduced by 80%.

Story 3: Anjali – The New Mother Working Remote

Anjali, 32, from Pune, juggled work-from-home and caring for her infant. Breastfeeding in poor posture and attending Zoom meetings with baby in lap took a toll on her neck and upper back.

Diagnosis:

• Cervical kyphosis (flattening of neck curve)
• Muscular tightness in levator scapulae and rhomboids

What Worked:

• Gentle spinal mobilization
• Taping techniques to offload stress from neck muscles
• Guidance on posture while nursing and working

Her Takeaway:
“Taking care of my spine was the best thing I did—not just for me, but also for my baby.”

Story 4: Arjun – The College Student Gaming All Night

Arjun, 21, from Delhi, wasn’t working a job but gaming through the night, often in bed or hunched over his phone. When he came in, he had a persistent dull ache in his neck and occasional headaches.

Findings:

• Early signs of cervical spondylosis
• Weak scapular stabilizers

We Did:

• Corrective chiropractic adjustments
• Strength training for mid-back and postural muscles
• Education on “tech breaks” and screen ergonomics

Result:
Neck pain gone. Headaches reduced. Arjun even started a health channel for gamers!
