Understanding Neck Pain

Neck pain can range from a mild nuisance to a debilitating condition, affecting daily activities and overall quality of life. Common causes include:

Muscle Strain – Often resulting from poor posture or overuse
Herniated Discs – Displacement of disc material causing nerve compression
Degenerative Disc Disease – Age-related wear and tear leading to chronic pain
Spinal Stenosis – Narrowing of the spinal canal exerting pressure on nerves
Whiplash Injuries – Sudden neck movement causing soft tissue damage
Cervical Radiculopathy – Nerve irritation leading to pain radiating into the arms

Early diagnosis and targeted treatment are crucial for effective relief and preventing further complications.

When to Seek Medical Attention

While occasional neck discomfort is common, certain symptoms warrant professional evaluation:

Persistent pain lasting more than a week
Numbness or tingling in the arms or hands
Severe headaches accompanying neck pain
Difficulty with balance or coordination
Pain following a traumatic injury, such as a car accident

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s essential to consult with a specialist to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment plan.

Our Comprehensive Treatment Approach

We employ a multidisciplinary strategy to address neck pain, focusing on minimally invasive and evidence-based therapies. Our team collaborates closely with each patient to develop a personalized treatment plan, ensuring the most effective and appropriate interventions are utilized.

Cervical Epidural Steroid Injections (CESI)

Cervical Epidural Steroid Injections reduce inflammation and alleviate nerve compression, providing significant pain relief for conditions like herniated discs and spinal stenosis.

Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)

Radiofrequency Ablation uses heat to disrupt nerve signals, effectively reducing chronic neck pain associated with facet joint issues.

Facet Joint Injections

Facet Joint Injections are diagnostic and therapeutic injections that identify and treat pain originating from the cervical facet joints.

Spinal Cord Stimulation

Spinal Cord Stimulation is an advanced option for patients with refractory neck pain, involving the implantation of a device that modulates pain signals before they reach the brain.

Physical Therapy

Customized exercise programs aimed at strengthening neck muscles, improving flexibility, and preventing future injuries.
