​

​Why Neck Pain Happens – Causes and Conditions Treated in NYC

 

The neck is a complex area, consisting of vertebrae, discs, muscles, and nerves that support and move the head. This structure’s flexibility and range of motion make it susceptible to pain from various issues like posture, injuries, and chronic conditions. Whether it’s a sharp pain, stiffness, or discomfort radiating to the shoulders and arms, our NYC specialists focus on finding the source of the pain and developing a plan for effective, lasting relief.

​

We commonly treat a range of neck-related conditions, including:

​

• Arthritis of the Cervical Spine – Often characterized by joint inflammation and cartilage breakdown, arthritis in the neck can lead to chronic stiffness and pain, especially in the morning or after periods of inactivity.

• Cervical Spinal Stenosis – This condition occurs when the spinal canal in the neck narrows, placing pressure on the nerves. Cervical spinal stenosis can cause neck pain, tingling, and numbness that may spread to the shoulders and arms.

• Herniated Discs (Cervical) – A cervical disc herniation can press on nerves, leading to significant neck pain that may radiate into the arms or upper back, sometimes causing weakness or numbness.

• Tech Neck – Caused by prolonged use of devices at improper angles, tech neck results in strain and soreness from the forward positioning of the head and neck.

• Radiculopathy (Cervical) – Nerve compression in the neck region can create radiating pain that extends to the shoulders, arms, or hands, often described as a sharp, electric-like sensation.

• Whiplash – A sudden, forceful movement of the head, often from car accidents or falls, can injure the soft tissues in the neck, leading to pain, stiffness, and a limited range of motion.

• Occipital Neuralgia – Irritation of the occipital nerves at the base of the skull can produce sharp, shooting pain from the neck up to the back of the head, often resulting in severe headaches and neck tenderness.

When to See a Doctor

 

Neck pain can range from mild discomfort to debilitating, sharp pain. It’s essential to know when to seek medical help to avoid potential complications. You should consider seeing a doctor if you experience:

​

• Persistent neck pain lasting more than a few weeks

• Pain that radiates to your shoulders, arms, or upper back

• Tingling, numbness, or weakness in your arms or hands

• Limited range of motion in the neck

• Pain accompanied by severe headaches or migraines

• Discomfort that intensifies after periods of inactivity or after an injury

​

Addressing neck pain early can help you prevent worsening symptoms, leading to better long-term health and mobility.

Our Approach to Treating Neck Pain in NYC

 

At Manhattan Restorative Health Sciences, we provide a variety of non-surgical, minimally invasive treatments that are customized for each patient. By conducting a thorough evaluation, we identify the most effective treatment path to reduce pain, restore function, and support long-term neck health. Treatments may include:

​

Conservative Therapies for Neck Pain Relief

​

• Physical Therapy – Targeted exercises to strengthen the muscles supporting the neck, improve posture, and enhance flexibility, essential for minimizing pain and preventing future strain.

• Lifestyle Modifications – Simple, sustainable changes like adjusting screen height, taking regular breaks, and incorporating stretching can make a significant difference in reducing neck pain over time.

​

Interventional Pain Management Techniques

 

Our specialized pain management techniques for neck pain include minimally invasive procedures that directly target the source of discomfort:

​

• Cervical Epidural Steroid Injections – Reduces inflammation around the nerves in the cervical spine, providing relief from conditions like herniated discs or cervical spinal stenosis.

• Cervical Facet Joint Injections – Delivers anti-inflammatory medication to the facet joints in the neck, easing pain and reducing joint inflammation, especially for arthritis-related pain.

• Cervical Nerve Root Blocks – Focused on the cervical nerve roots, these injections can relieve pain that radiates from the neck to the shoulders and arms, particularly effective for radiculopathy.

• Occipital Nerve Blocks – A targeted injection for occipital neuralgia, which can relieve pain at the base of the skull and prevent headaches that stem from neck issues.

• Cervical Medial Branch Radiofrequency Ablation – Offers long-lasting relief by using radiofrequency energy to interrupt pain signals from nerves around the cervical facet joints.

• Percutaneous Discectomy (Cervical) – A minimally invasive procedure to remove herniated disc material in the neck, alleviating nerve compression and associated pain.

​

Regenerative Treatments to Support Healing and Neck Health

​

• Stem Cell Therapy – This regenerative therapy uses the body’s own stem cells to support the repair of damaged cervical discs and soft tissues, providing a non-surgical alternative for chronic neck pain.

• Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy – PRP injections harness the body’s natural healing properties to reduce inflammation, improve tissue health, and relieve chronic neck pain, particularly in cases of soft tissue strain or injury.
