Neck Pain FAQs
What is neck pain?
Neck pain refers to stiffness, aching, or general discomfort that affects the part of your spine between your shoulders and head. At Physicians Group, LLC, the team treats neck pain caused by car accident injuries, like whiplash.
If you experience neck pain after a car or motorcycle crash, and it affects your ability to work, exercise, or get restful sleep, contact the Physicians Group, LLC team.
What are the symptoms of neck pain?
Symptoms of neck pain include:
- Headaches
- Shoulder tension
- Muscle tightness and spasms
- Difficulty turning your head from side to side
Neck pain tends to flare up when you hold your head in one position for a long time.
When should I seek treatment for neck pain?
Make an appointment with the physician Group, LLC team if you experience neck pain after a car accident or motorcycle crash. Whiplash, a common auto accident injury that causes your head to snap back and forth, doesn’t always present symptoms immediately. Early intervention can reduce the risk of side effects and speed up your recovery.
How is neck pain diagnosed?
To diagnose neck pain, your Physicians Group, LLC provider reviews your medical records and asks about your symptoms, including when they started, what the pain feels like, and if it’s worse during certain activities.
Next, your provider examines your neck. They look for redness, swelling, or bruising, and check your neck’s range of motion. Your provider also orders imaging, like traditional X-rays, an MRI, or digital motion X-rays to look at your bones, joints, and soft tissues.
How is neck pain treated?
The team treats neck pain at Physicians Group, LLC using conservative and minimally invasive measures. Depending on the underlying issue and the severity of your symptoms, they might recommend:
- Physical therapy
- Peripheral joint injections
- Trigger point injections
- Musculoskeletal ultrasound therapy
- Spasticity management
- Interventional spine therapeutics
- Facet joint injections
- Epidural steroid injections
- Radiofrequency neurolysis
If these treatments don’t provide lasting relief, you might benefit from surgery. There are several spine specialists on staff who perform both minimally invasive and traditional open orthopedic surgery.
