San Antonio Neck Pain Doctors and Treatment Experts

Neck pain can develop from problems involving the muscles, joints, discs, nerves, and other structures of the cervical spine. Because several conditions can cause similar symptoms, identifying the source of the pain is an important part of determining which treatment options may be appropriate.

Our team evaluates your symptoms, medical history, movement, and other clinical findings to better understand what may be contributing to your neck pain. From there, treatment can be tailored to your diagnosis, symptoms, and individual needs.

Neck Conditions We Treat

Neck pain can vary in location, intensity, and duration depending on the underlying cause. Symptoms may remain localized to the neck or extend into the shoulders, arms, or hands when nerves are irritated or compressed.

Symptoms associated with neck pain may include:

Whiplash

Whiplash can develop after a sudden back-and-forth movement of the neck, often from an auto accident, and may cause pain, stiffness, headaches, or reduced range of motion.

Cervical Disc Problems

Bulging or herniated discs in the cervical spine may contribute to neck pain and can sometimes irritate nearby nerves.

Nerve Compression

A pinched or irritated nerve in the neck may cause pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness that can extend into the shoulder, arm, or hand.

Neck Strain

Muscle and soft-tissue strain may result from injury, poor posture, repetitive activity, or prolonged screen use.

Cervical Arthritis

Degenerative changes affecting the joints of the cervical spine may contribute to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.

Facet Joint Pain

Irritation or degeneration of the cervical facet joints may cause localized neck pain, stiffness, and discomfort with certain movements.

Neck Pain Education From Our Specialists

Learn more about common sources of neck pain from our specialists. These videos explain how facet joint problems and muscular trigger points can contribute to neck pain and related symptoms.

Understanding Facet Disease

Facet disease involves irritation or degeneration of the small facet joints that connect the vertebrae in the neck. It can contribute to localized neck pain, stiffness, and discomfort when turning or tilting the head.

Understanding Neck Trigger Points

Trigger points are sensitive areas within tight or irritated muscles that can contribute to localized neck pain, stiffness, and discomfort in the surrounding shoulders and upper back.

A Personalized Approach to Neck Pain Relief

No two patients experience neck pain in exactly the same way. Treatment depends on the underlying condition, the severity of symptoms, and how the problem affects daily activities.

Our San Antonio team works to identify the source of your symptoms and develop an individualized care plan. Depending on your diagnosis, treatment may involve conservative care, pain management, rehabilitation, injections, or a minimally invasive procedure.
