Where neck and arm pain comes from

A bulging disc, arthritis or cervical stenosis in the neck can pinch the nerves that run to your shoulders, arms and hands. Poor posture and long hours at screens add strain.

Symptoms in your arm or hand don't always mean the problem is there - a careful exam tells us where it really starts.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Can decompression help neck pain?
The DRX9000 can provide cervical (neck) decompression as well as lumbar. Whether it's right for you depends on your exam and imaging.
Why do my hands tingle when my neck hurts?
The nerves that supply your arms and hands exit the spine in your neck. A disc or narrowing there can irritate them and cause pain, tingling or weakness in the arm or hand.
Is it safe to have my neck treated?
Your exam screens for conditions that need a different approach. Care is gentle and adjusted to you, and you'll always know what we're doing and why.
When to seek urgent care: loss of bladder or bowel control, numbness in the groin or inner thighs, or leg weakness that's getting rapidly worse needs emergency evaluation - call 911 or go to the ER.
