Neck Pain

Chronic neck pain often comes from disc problems, facet joint arthritis, or muscle dysfunction. Targeted treatment can provide lasting relief without surgery.

Overview

About Neck Pain

Neck pain may be limited to the cervical spine or radiate into the shoulder, arm, or hand. Causes range from posture-related muscle strain to disc herniation, facet arthritis, whiplash, and cervical radiculopathy.

A thorough evaluation distinguishes soft-tissue pain from nerve-related pain so treatment targets the right structure — whether that is the disc, the facet joint, an irritated nerve, or surrounding muscles.

Common symptoms

  • Persistent stiffness or aching in the neck
  • Headaches that originate at the base of the skull
  • Sharp or shooting pain into the shoulder, arm, or hand
  • Numbness, tingling, or weakness in the arm
  • Reduced range of motion when turning the head
