Neck Pain
Comprehensive Relief
Neck pain is a very common complaint that may come from muscle spasms, soft tissue sprain, disc herniation, poor posture and more. This is the most flexible region of the spine, which consists of bones, nerves, muscles, arteries, veins, ligaments and other supporting structures. Due to this intricate configuration, diagnosing the pain may require X-Rays, MRIs, EMGs, and other diagnostic tests. Sudden injuries (i.e. motor vehicle accident or sports) that result in strain, herniated discs, and pressure on the spine require immediate medical attention. Less serious injuries such as poor posture, stress, excessive exercise and natural aging may also cause neck pain.
