You might experience neck pain from overuse injuries, sports injuries, falling down, or being in an automobile accident. Sometimes the cause of neck pain isn’t entirely clear and a thorough examination is required.

How is neck pain diagnosed?

To find the root cause of neck pain, the spine specialist will complete a thorough physical exam and comprehensive verbal history about your symptoms and medical history.

Dr. Le or Dr. Morgan might use blood tests, X-rays, CT scans, MRIs, or electromyography to diagnose your condition and develop a treatment.

How is neck pain treated?

To treat neck pain and restore your quality of life, Dr. Le or Dr. Morgan might recommend:

Spinal manipulations

Using a series of manual spinal manipulations, Dr. Le or Dr. Morgan can realign your spine to relieve tension, nerve pressure, and pain.

Spinal decompression

Spinal Stenosis and Disc Center, Inc. uses advanced technology for non-surgical spinal decompression, or spinal traction, to reduce neck discomfort.

Massage and Myofascial release

Massage therapy and myofascial release techniques use soft tissue manipulation to stimulate blood flow and relieve muscle tension, nerve pain, and chronic neck discomfort.

Physiotherapy

Dr. Le or Dr. Morgan shows you strength and flexibility exercises that strengthen tissues in your neck and back, increase range of motion, reduce pain, and prevent re-injury.

Epidural injections

In severe cases when inflammation is inhibiting the healing process, Dr. Le or Dr. Morgan may recommend steroid injections. Steroid injections can reduce inflammation and discomfort associated with spondylolisthesis.

At-home treatments

Applying ice to your neck or wearing a neck brace can alleviate neck discomfort, reduce inflammation, and prevent reinjury.
