NECK PAIN

About Neck Pain

Occasional neck pain affects both children and adults from time to time, but neck pain that doesn’t go away may be a sign of a more serious spinal condition. Our doctors specializes in comprehensive neck pain treatment for patients of all ages.

Pain in the neck and the head can originate from a number of sources, such as compressed nerves in the cervical spine, arthritis in the joints of the spine, or degenerative changes in the spine. Pain can also generate from surrounding muscles and ligaments of the neck.

What is causing my neck pain?

There are more than 100 different types of arthritis joint disease which is the leading cause of disability in the U.S. today. Common symptoms include inflammation, swelling, stiffness, pain, and a limited range of motion within the affected joints. Sometimes arthritis symptoms come and go, and often they progress and get worse over time.

When severe arthritis causes chronic pain, it can be challenging to complete daily activities, or even just to move around easily. The most common type of arthritis is osteoarthritis which often affects the knee joints, making it very painful to walk.

What is causing my neck pain?

Your neck, or cervical spine, is made up of nerves, bones, joints, and muscles. They all work together, directed by the spinal cord to support the weight of your head. You may experience neck pain when any of the following occurs:

Nerve compression as a result of a herniated disc or bone spur in the vertebrae
Injuries including whiplash from a car accident or from playing a sport
Diseases like arthritis, meningitis, or cancer
Muscle strains as a result of hunching over a desk or cradling a phone between your ear and shoulder
Wear and tear as you age may deteriorate cartilage and bones

What are the symptoms of neck pain?

Neck pain comes with a variety of symptoms including:

Difficulty turning your head
Stiff feeling in your muscles
Sharp or stabbing pain
Sore or tender muscles
Pain, tingling, or numbness that radiates into your shoulder or down an arm
Trouble gripping objects
Headaches or jaw pain

How is neck pain treated?

At Body Performance 360, neck pain treatment begins with a comprehensive approach to care. Our doctors starts by understanding your full medical history, including any previous neck pain and treatments you may have had. We conducts a complete examination to diagnose any underlying conditions accurately and identify contributing factors.

Once we have determined the cause of your neck pain, whether it is acute or chronic, we may recommend a variety of treatment options including physical therapy, mechanics, and core treatment. Other effective pain management procedures may include epidural injections or medial branch nerve/facets blocks. We also offers radiofrequency and rhizotomies/ablations.

Spinal cord stimulation is another treatment option that delivers mild electrical stimulation to nerves in your spinal column that are causing neck pain. The electrical stimulation helps to block nerve activity as a way to minimize the sensation of pain signals sent to your brain. For many, the result minimizes pain to a more manageable level or eliminates it almost completely.

Our doctors and the team of pain management specialists may prescribe a combination of treatment options and medication management, so you get the most effective pain relief for your symptoms. They invite you to call or make an appointment online at their office.
