The neck is a delicate structure that requires as much attention as any other body part. The cervical spine (neck region) is made up of seven cervical vertebrae that are connected by and cushioned by discs, spinal joints, and ligaments. These vertebrae and discs allow the neck to twist, and they protect your spinal cord.
The neck muscles connect numerous anatomical areas and ensure that different neuromuscular functions work, such as mobility, stability, and connection of the central nervous system (CNS) to the neck. For these to function correctly, the neck must be in good health.
Unfortunately, when something happens to these vertebrae or discs, the pain can be debilitating and prevent you from enjoying everyday activities, playing sports, or even going to work.
Most neck pain is muscle-related, including muscle tension, cramps, and strains. The pain may be limited to the neck or branch out to the shoulders and arms. While there are many causes of neck pain, it is often caused by the compression of the spinal nerves.
Common neck pain symptoms can include problems bending or rotating the neck, muscle spasms, headaches, shoulder pain, or numbness and tingling in the arms, hands, or shoulders.
Many men and women who experience acute or chronic neck pain first turn to at-home strategies for managing pain.
This usually involves therapies such as over-the-counter pain relievers (like aspirin, ibuprofen, or acetaminophen), ice or heat applications, neck massages, using a firmer pillow/mattress, and avoidance of strenuous activity (like jogging, weightlifting, and racquet sports).
Physical therapy may be recommended.
The Advanced Relief Institute understands that everyone’s neck pain has different causes and degrees of limitation. Therefore, our specialists are dedicated to customizing interventional pain management therapies to your specific needs.
Combining extensive experience and a reputation for excellence, our doctors offer multidisciplinary approaches to help you regain comfort.
Neck conditions and causes vary just as much as the men and women who suffer from them.
Seeking medical attention to get a diagnosis for neck pain is your first move toward a healthy lifestyle.
Our team will then run a series of exams, including CT scans, MRIs, X-rays, or ultrasound imaging. These exams will allow us to identify the root cause of your pain.
Once the problem has been categorized, a treatment plan will be put in place.
Interventional pain management for the neck involves multidisciplinary approaches to combat, reduce, or relieve neck pain. These non-surgical approaches find and treat pain at its source, and although they cannot guarantee a cure, they can reduce your discomfort, allowing you to return to a full and active lifestyle.
The Advanced Relief Institute will tailor your interventional pain management therapy to your needs. This treatment plan may include interventional injections, nerve blocks, and nerve stimulation.
The team at the Advanced Relief Institute is proud to offer the latest, most innovative techniques in regenerative medicine, including PRP injection therapy, stem cell injection therapy, and amniotic injection therapy.
We understand that each patient is unique, and your provider will develop a personalized treatment plan for your needs. For more information about the customized treatment options offered at the Advanced Relief Institute, contact us for a consultation.
Interventional pain management offers a less-invasive approach to minimizing your chronic pain (as opposed to previous surgical techniques). Patients may experience some sensitivity in the neck for two to three days, but it should subside quickly.
Neck pain impacts more than the space between your head and shoulders. It influences all of your activities and has a significant impact on your quality of life. If you are tired of dealing with neck pain, contact the Advanced Relief Institute for a consultation today.
