Neck Pain Q&A

What causes neck pain?

Neck pain can develop due to poor posture, underlying disease, injuries, and wear-and-tear.

If you’re having frequent neck pain, stiffness, or uncomfortable twinges when you try to turn your head, you could have a neck problem such as:

Osteoarthritis
Spondylosis (cervical disc degeneration)
Herniated discs
Spinal canal narrowing
Muscle inflammation
Ligament sprains
Tendon or muscle strain
Whiplash
Fractures

Although it’s rare, neck pain and stiffness could also be caused by a potentially life-threatening infection called meningitis.

I have terrible neck pain. How can I find out what caused it?

Because neck pain is such a common experience and has so many potential causes, a comprehensive medical evaluation is the only way to find out the root cause of your issues.

At the Center for Spine, Joint, and Neuromuscular Rehabilitation, the experienced team of diagnostic specialists uses various techniques to find the cause of your neck pain, including a complete physical exam, medical history review, and careful symptom assessment.

You may need electromyography (EMG), musculoskeletal ultrasound, CT scans, X-rays, and bone scans to find the source of pain. If you already have a diagnosis from another practice but need a second option, the team can examine your past and present test results to double-check your diagnosis.

Does neck pain always lead to surgery?

Not at all. In fact, the Center for Spine, Joint, and Neuromuscular Rehabilitation specializes in neck pain treatment without surgery. The multidisciplinary specialists come from many fields, including anesthesiology, orthopedics, neurology, biomechanics, pain medicine, and physical medicine and rehabilitation.

Working together, the team has superior skills in treating complex neck pain cases using a comprehensive approach. They treat the root causes of neck pain using leading-edge therapies, including:

Medication management
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy
Trigger point injections
Epidural steroid injections
Amniotic tissue allograft
Physical rehabilitation
Soft neck collar (for short-term use)

If you have additional symptoms, like back pain or pain that radiates to your arm, the team also treats those problems to give you a comprehensive, personalized recovery plan.

The specialists believe their patients shouldn’t have to live with symptoms or constantly dread the next flare-up, so maximum healing and permanent pain relief are always the top priorities.
