Neck pain affects around 46% of the population and is one of the most common reasons people seek medical care. It can affect everything from work and sleep to mood and daily activities.
At Silver Spine and Neurological Center - Interventional Pain Management & Spine Surgery, we’ve spent more than 20 years helping patients find real, lasting relief from neck pain. While every patient’s story is different, one thing remains true: effective treatment starts with understanding the cause and choosing the right solution.
The neck (cervical spine) supports the weight of your head while allowing a wide range of movement. Because of this, it’s especially vulnerable to strain and injury.
Neck pain can develop suddenly or slowly over several months. Common causes include:
In many cases, neck pain isn’t caused by a single issue, but a combination of factors. For example, mental health problems, anxiety, and chronic stress increase your likelihood of struggling with neck pain. That’s why a careful evaluation is so important.
Occasional stiffness after sleeping wrong or a long day at work is common. However, ongoing or worsening neck pain may be a sign of a more serious problem. You should seek medical care if neck pain:
Listening to your body and addressing symptoms early can help prevent long-term damage.
With decades of experience, our team believes in a stepwise, patient-centered approach to treating neck pain. Not every patient needs surgery, and many find relief through conservative or minimally invasive care.
The first step is understanding what’s causing your pain. This may include a physical exam, imaging studies such as X-rays or MRI scans, and a detailed discussion of your symptoms. A clear diagnosis allows us to create a treatment plan that targets the source of the pain rather than just the symptoms.
For many patients, neck pain improves with nonsurgical options, including:
These treatments aim to reduce pain while improving movement and function.
When conservative care isn’t enough, interventional treatments may provide relief. These minimally invasive procedures are designed to reduce inflammation and interrupt pain signals. Common options include:
These treatments can help patients return to daily activities with less pain and often delay or avoid the need for surgery.
If neck pain is caused by significant nerve compression, spinal instability, or structural damage, we may recommend surgery.
Advances in spine surgery now allow for more-precise, less-invasive procedures with shorter recovery times. Surgery is always considered carefully and only when other options are unlikely to provide lasting relief.
Treating neck pain requires both technical skill and clinical judgment. With more than 20 years of experience in spine care, our specialists have seen a wide range of conditions and outcomes. This experience helps guide treatment decisions and allows us to tailor care to each patient’s unique needs.
We also understand that pain affects more than just the body. It can impact mental health, relationships, and overall quality of life. That’s why we take the time to listen, educate, and partner with our patients throughout their care.
While medical care is important, there are steps you can take right now to support your neck health:
Small changes can make a meaningful difference over time.
Neck pain doesn’t have to control your life. With the right diagnosis, proper treatment, and an experienced care team, lasting relief is possible. If you’re struggling with neck pain, know that effective solutions are available through our comprehensive services.
