Neck Pain Q & A

What causes neck pain?

Neck pain frequently begins when you pull a muscle or ligament, whether during athletic activities or throughout your daily routine. Poor posture and bending your head to use electronics place a lot of stress on your neck, for example, and may cause pain.

Whiplash injuries most often happen during an automobile accident, but you can also end up with the same type of injury during contact sports.

As you get older, degenerative changes cause neck problems such as:

Herniated disc
Slipped disc
Osteoarthritis
Degenerative disc disease
Bone spurs
Spinal stenosis

These conditions often compress spinal nerves.

What symptoms accompany neck pain?

Neck pain frequently leads to a stiff neck, limited movement, and headaches ranging from minor to severe. If you have a condition that pinches a nerve, you may also experience symptoms in your arms and hands.

Compressed nerves commonly cause pain and tingling that travel down your arm. In some cases, you may have numbness or muscle weakness in your arm or hand.

How is neck pain treated?

As specialists in chiropractic and functional medicine, the team at Alternative Physical Medicine of Colorado takes the time to identify the root cause of your neck pain.

They carefully evaluate your medical history and symptoms, lifestyle factors that may contribute to your pain, perform diagnostic ultrasound, and complete a thorough physical exam.

Alternative Physical Medicine of Colorado offers multimodal treatment customized to your needs. Your treatment plan may include therapies from chiropractic, regenerative medicine, functional medicine, laser technology, and other advanced options.

These are a few examples of the treatments frequently used to relieve neck pain:

If your neck pain comes from damaged tissues, your provider at Alternative Physical Medicine of Colorado may recommend platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and stem cell injections.

The platelets in PRP accelerate healing and diminish inflammation. When you have a severe or slow-healing injury, an extra boost of stem cells helps regenerate the new tissues needed to heal the wound.
