Neck pain is discomfort in the neck that is caused by any diseases or structures in the neck region. In addition to the pain itself, conditions that cause neck pain may also produce headaches, stiffness, or pain in the throat or surrounding areas. In most cases, the causes of neck pain are fairly clear. These causes may include:
- Sprained, strained, or inflamed muscles
- Injury
- Arthritis
- Herniated disc
Once your neck pain has been fully assessed with a physical exam and any related tests, a diagnosis can be made. With all the essential information about your condition and severity of the neck pain, doctors can discuss treatment options in full. Orthopedic spine specialists Dr.Hemaxi Ambani may recommend noninvasive treatments for mild cervical spine disorders or neck strain. Some cases of neck pain respond well to:
- Application of ice/heat
- Pain management medication
- Anti-inflammatory drugs
- Stretching exercises
- Physical therapy
- Lifestyle adjustments (correct posture, ergonomic desk seating, pillows, sleep positions, etc.)
Physical Therapy A trained physical therapist guides you in exercises and stretches designed to strengthen your neck, improve your balance and flexibility, and improve range of motion all benefits that can alleviate your symptoms. Your therapist may suggest cervical traction, which stretches your neck to reduce compression.
Medication Medications include over-the-counter and prescription anti-inflammatory drugs, muscle relaxers, steroids, nerve-pain medicines, and more. Our doctors balance medication recommendations with risks of side effects, dependency, or other unwanted reactions.
Injections Epidural steroid injections treat inflammation and pain right at the source of your pinched spinal cord or nerve roots. Using X-ray imaging to guide them, doctors numb your skin and place a needle into the epidural space in your spine. You’ll feel pressure during this. The medicine usually begins working within a few days to a week. You’ll be able to return to normal activities the following day
Short-Term Bracing In some cases, including trauma and fractures or instability of the spine, your doctors may recommend wearing a rigid or semi-rigid neck brace for a short time. This stabilizes your spine, allowing it to heal and helping prevent additional injury.
Acupuncture Acupuncture uses fine needles placed strategically in the skin to relieve pain. We offer this treatment as a complement to your regular treatment plan, not as a substitute.
