Symptoms Of Neck Pain
The most common symptoms of neck pain include:
Causes
Physical Therapy
Physical therapy including exercises, stretches, and traction or manipulation helps in providing neck pain relief. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) also helps relieve pain by sending tiny electrical impulses to the neck area.
Medication and Injections
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are often prescribed to manage neck pain. The doctor may prescribe steroid injections or PRP injections to manage pain and promote healing.
Surgery For Neck Pain
Surgery in rare cases is recommended if the surgeon suspects nerve compression or impingement that is resulting in severe pain across the neck and upper back region.
Minimally Invasive Procedures
Depending on the exact cause of neck pain, pain procedures such as Nucleoplasty Decompression and Facet Denervation may be recommended.
