Neck Pain

Neck pain is a common yet debilitating condition that can significantly impact your daily life, affecting everything from your ability to work to getting a good night’s sleep. At Dr. Patel Ortho Clinic, we specialize in accurately diagnosing the root cause of your neck pain and providing effective, personalized solutions to help you regain comfort and mobility.

Understanding Your Neck Pain

  • Muscle Strain: Often due to poor posture, prolonged computer use, or sudden movements.

  • Worn Joints: Degenerative conditions like osteoarthritis affecting the neck vertebrae.

  • Nerve Compression: Herniated discs or bone spurs pressing on nerves.

  • Accurate Diagnosis:

    • Detailed physical examination and medical history.

    • Advanced imaging (Digital X-rays, MRI, CT scans) to pinpoint the source of pain.

  • Non-Surgical Treatments:

    • Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation: Targeted exercises to strengthen muscles, improve posture, and increase flexibility.

    • Medication Management: Prescription anti-inflammatories, muscle relaxants, or pain relievers.

    • Injections: Corticosteroid injections or nerve blocks to reduce inflammation and pain.

    • Lifestyle Modification: Ergonomic advice for work and daily activities, posture correction.

  • Surgical Options (When Necessary):

    • For severe cases or when non-surgical methods are ineffective, we offer precise surgical interventions such as:

      • Discectomy: Removal of a herniated disc.

      • Spinal Fusion: Fusing vertebrae to stabilize the spine.

      • Artificial Disc Replacement: Replacing a damaged disc with an artificial one.
