Neck Pain Care

Neck Pain Care

Neck pain can follow a motor vehicle accident or a fall, or develop with long periods of desk posture. It is sometimes accompanied by headaches, shoulder tightness, or tingling in the arms and hands. In general, neck pain care starts with an evaluation of whether symptoms appear to come from muscle strain or from nerve or disc involvement, which can help guide treatment choices. At Complete Care, this evaluation is led by a Provider on our team.

Evaluating the Neck

• EMG & Nerve Conduction Studies — may help assess whether a nerve root in the neck is involved in arm symptoms.
• Digital Radiology Review Systems — used to review imaging of the neck.
• Computerized Range of Motion Testing — used to measure neck movement.

Treatment Approaches

Depending on the evaluation, a treatment plan may include:

• Fluoroscopy-Guided Injections — injections performed with imaging guidance, when injection therapy is considered appropriate.
• TENS & Electrical Stimulation Therapy — a modality that may be used to help manage neck and shoulder pain.
• Therapeutic Ultrasound Therapy — a modality sometimes used as part of soft-tissue care.

Results vary from patient to patient.
