Cervical Pain (Neck Pain)

Overview

As the years go by, your neck undergoes physical stress and, sometimes, injury. This wear-and-tear can cause degeneration of the cervical spine, resulting in chronic neck pain. Age-related causes include osteoarthritis, which can stimulate bone overgrowth into the spinal canal, fluid from a herniated/ruptured disc putting pressure on nerves, or stiffening/thickening of ligaments in the neck increasing pressure in the spinal canal. Trauma-related dislocations or fractures can damage spinal canal nerves as well.

How Our Providers Diagnose

In addition to a physical examination and thorough discussion of your pain, our providers will develop a plan of care to address your specific needs and form a personalized treatment plan.

Treatment Options

  • Cervical epidural steroid injection (CESI)
  • Spinal cord stimulation (SCS)
  • Facet joint injections
  • Radiofrequency ablation (neuorotomy) (RFA)
  • Analgesic and anti-inflammatory medication
  • Physical therapy

The environment was relaxed, pleasant, and professional...

Been going to Spine and Joint for the last few years and my experiences have been positive. Recently had a procedure done and the environment was relaxed, pleasant, and professional. This helps ease some of the stress and edginess that comes with most medical procedures. Thank you S&J.
