Diagnosing Neck Pain

Our comprehensive diagnostic process includes:

  • Medical history. Your practitionerย talks to you about your symptoms, their severity, and what treatments you have already tried.
  • Physical examination. You are carefully examined for movement limitations, balance problems, and pain. During the exam, the doctor evaluates loss of extremity reflexes, muscle weakness, loss of sensation, or other signs of a neurological problem.
  • Diagnostic tests. Generally, we start with plain x-rays. If necessary, CT scans and MRIs are performed to obtain more detail about your spinal sprain or strain (i.e. rule out vertebral fracture).

Non-Surgical Treatments for Neck Pain

Many different nonsurgical neck injury treatment & options help relieve neck sprain or strain symptoms. These include:

  • Medications, such as an anti-inflammatory to reduce swelling and pain, muscle relaxants to calm spasm, and occasionally, narcotic painkillers to alleviate acute pain.
  • Cold/heat therapy, especially during the first 24-48 hours of pain onset.
  • Soft cervical collar or brace*
  • Osteopathy which may include gentle massage, stretching, therapeutic exercise, or traction to decrease pain and increase function.
  • Dry Needling

*A cervical collar is a short-term treatment to help support tender and painful neck tissues while they heal. A collar can reduce neck and upper back pain by relieving muscle spasm and cervical fatigue.

In conjunction with these treatments, our teamย will educate you about healthy posture and proper body mechanics.

Conclusion
Symptoms of a cervical sprain or strain may be similar to other spinal disorders. If pain or symptoms persist or worsen, call our office for an appointment. Our medical staff will provide you with excellent information to help you recover and stay healthy.
