Neck Pain Treatment
The range of treatments for chronic neck pain depends on the cause of pain. Acute neck pain can generally be eased with self-care regimens, such as hot and cold therapy or anti-inflammatory medications. However, if you are experiencing persistent episodes of pain without significant improvement from conservative treatments, then a more intensive approach may be necessary.
Advanced treatments for chronic neck pain typically involve steroid injections and nerve stimulation. In many cases, our team will recommend physical therapy before resorting to more enhanced treatments. Selective nerve root blocks through targeted injections in the spaces between the vertebrae are another alternative. Our office can help you discover which therapies may be ideal for you.
