Neck Pain

Neck Pain Treatments in the DFW Metroplex

Neck pain can happen to anyone at any time. Many residents in the DFW Metroplex simply live with acute pain, thinking it will go away after a day or two. Not seeing the neck pain doctors at Pain & Spine Physicians can allow their pain to become worse and grow into chronic pain.

The sooner you schedule your appointment with us, the sooner we can diagnose the issue and begin to develop a personalized care plan to get you relief quickly.

There could be many underlying issues to your neck pain, so it is recommended that you schedule an appointment to see us at the first sign of pain in the neck. We can advise you which physical therapy to start with, help decide which medications will be most effective, offer injection therapy to quickly reduce pain, and, as a last resort, refer you to trusted surgeons. You can set same-day appointments based on our availability.

Causes for Neck Pain We See at Pain & Spine Physicians

Below are some of the ways our patients have injured themselves. If you have suffered similar incidents, you should visit our office or call to schedule an exam to help prevent your acute neck pain from becoming chronic:

• Neck strain and injury
• Accident-related pain from whiplash
• Herniated disc or a pinched nerve
• Muscular pain caused by an uncomfortable sleeping position
• Strained muscles due to working long hours on a computer
• Conditions such as fibromyalgia and spinal stenosis
• Degenerative neck diseases such as cervical spondylosis or neck arthritis
• Certain infections that may lead to lymph node swelling
• Rare conditions like neck tuberculosis, infection of the spine bones, or meningitis

Acute and Chronic Neck Pains

Pain in the neck and other areas in the body often breaks down into two separate categories: acute or chronic. Acute neck pain happens suddenly and generally lasts only three months. Chronic neck pain lasts for much longer and occurs from severe damage to the facet joints and discs, muscles, or ligaments in the neck.

These categories help us determine how to proceed with your personalized treatment plan and how we can get you feeling relieved. We also take into consideration how you injured your neck.

Call Us Today to Get the Relief You Need

Whether you suffer from acute or chronic neck pain, you should schedule an appointment with the neck pain specialists at Pain & Spine Physicians.

While it can go away on its own, it is best to visit our office to help rule out issues that could lead to chronic pain requiring more treatments and lasting effects.

We have helped those in Flower Mound, Frisco, Southlake, Richardson, and McKinney regain strength in their neck and live pain-free.
