Neck Pain Relief in McAllen – 911 Pain Management
Common Causes of Neck Injury/Pain
Neck injuries are common and may result from various causes. We offer treatment and pain management if you suffer any of the following conditions:
Whiplash Injury
Sudden force (like in car accidents) damaging muscles, ligaments, and soft tissues. Symptoms like pain and stiffness may appear hours or days later.
Facet Joint Injury
Trauma or degeneration inflaming the small joints of the cervical spine or surrounding ligaments, affecting stability and mobility.
Herniated Cervical Disc
When the inner gel of a neck disc pushes out, potentially pinching or restricting nerves and causing persistent pain, numbness, or weakness.
Muscle Strains
Overuse, repetitive motions, or sudden awkward movements can strain neck muscles, leading to pain and stiffness.
Tension Headaches
Stress, anxiety, and tension can cause muscles in the neck and scalp to tighten, leading to headaches often felt alongside neck pain.
Treatment Options for Neck Pain Relief
Find out how we can help relieve your neck pain through safe and effective treatment options.
Treating your pain with pharmacological therapy can be an effective way to help you relieve neck pain. Our medication management services can help you achieve just that, giving you the ability to not only find relief from your neck pain, but to regain the mobility and stability you need at the same time.
A cervical epidural steroid injection delivers anti-inflammatory medication into the space surrounding the spinal nerves. This treatment can help reduce inflammation, relieve pressure on irritated nerves, and ease neck pain that may radiate into the shoulders or arms. X-ray guidance is used to ensure precise placement.
Trigger point injections are used to relax and “undo” knots of muscle in your neck caused by tense muscles, either due to stress or overworking it. Trigger point injections generally result in immediate pain reduction and can be used in several areas of the neck during the same visit if needed.
In a cervical facet injection, also known as a facet block, an anesthetic and steroid are injected into one or more of your cervical facet joints. The injection can be used to diagnose the cause or treat the pain. This injection is specifically applied in between the joint, allowing the medication to act at the source.
