This case study presents the comprehensive physiotherapy management of a 63-year-old patient named Ram Adhar diagnosed with cervical radiculopathy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of physiotherapy interventions in reducing pain, improving range of motion, enhancing muscle strength, restoring sensation, and enhancing overall functional capacity and quality of life in patients with cervical radiculopathy. Baseline assessments revealed severe pain, restricted cervical range of motion, reduced muscle strength, decreased sensation, and significant functional limitations. The treatment plan incorporated pain management techniques, manual therapy, exercise therapy, and education/self-management strategies. Pain management techniques included therapeutic ultrasound and TENS, while manual therapy comprised soft tissue mobilization, joint mobilization, and neural mobilization. Exercise therapy encompassed stretching, strengthening, and postural correction exercises. Education and self-management strategies focused on ergonomics, postural education, and a home exercise program. Evaluation of outcomes demonstrated significant improvements in pain intensity, cervical range of motion, muscle strength, sensation, and functional capacity. Pain intensity decreased, and near-normal range of motion was achieved. Muscle strength increased, sensation was restored in affected dermatomes, and functional limitations decreased. The patient's quality of life also improved.
