Neck Pain
The most common causes of neck pain are due to muscle strain or a soft tissue sprain along the area. Neck pain can also be caused by a sudden force or trauma, pinched nerves, arthritis, muscle weakness, damaged joints, and more. Though in minor cases, rest and over-the-counter medication can alleviate pain and symptoms. In moderate to complex cases, your pain can persist leading you to seek medical attention.
Our doctors will work tirelessly to identify and treat the sources of your pain rather than treating just the symptoms. Using precise image guidance, through a minimally invasive procedure we can inject concentrations of your body’s natural healing agents into the areas of damage along your neck to treat your source of pain. This treatment option reduces your downtime and allows you to restore your quality of life without surgery or the need for pain medication.
Three Steps From First Call to a Treatment Plan You Can Act On
Step 1 — Check Your Eligibility
Send us your imaging and tell us what is going on. We review your radiology at no cost and tell you honestly whether an image-guided, non-surgical approach is worth exploring for your condition.
Step 2 — Schedule Your Consultation
A full evaluation with advanced ultrasound and MRI review. Regenexx consultations average a full hour: complete history, hands-on examination, imaging review and a real diagnosis explained in plain language.
Step 3 — Start Your Healing Plan
If you are a candidate, your physician builds a personalized plan around your diagnosis: Regenexx bone marrow concentrate or platelet procedures, supported by therapies such as prolotherapy and MLS laser, with follow-up at six to eight weeks.
