Neck pain is a common problem, but that doesn’t mean you should grit your teeth and bear it. At Ascend Regenerative Medicine, Dr. Mammen specializes in helping patients ages 16 and older find relief from all types of neck pain.
Depending on the cause, neck pain can occur with other symptoms, such as numbness or weakness in your arms or hands, headache, and muscle tightness or spasms.
Your neck moves in many directions and supports the weight of your head, making it vulnerable to a wide range of conditions and injuries that can cause pain. The most common causes of neck pain include:
Sports injuries and falls can also damage the muscles and ligaments in your neck, leading to pain.
At Ascend Regenerative Medicine, Dr. Mammen offers the latest treatment options to eliminate neck pain so you can resume the life you love. He creates an individualized treatment plan that may include:
These injections relieve neck pain and swelling due to something pressing on a nerve in your cervical spine.
This type of injection uses a special type of X-ray called fluoroscopy to target a painful nerve.
A stellate ganglion nerve block also uses fluoroscopy to guide an injection of numbing medicine to branches of nerves in your neck.
This fluoroscopy-guided injection bathes your medial branch nerves in numbing medicine.
These injections relieve pain from trigger points, which are small muscle spasms, also known as knots.
Regenerative medicine techniques like platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and stem cells may help certain types of neck pain.
This implanted device uses controlled electrical impulses to stimulate your spine and block pain signals.
This fluoroscopy-guided procedure involves heating your medial nerves with a specialized radiofrequency needle.
Using fluoroscopy, Dr. Mammen injects medicine into one or more of the small joints on either side of your spine. Facet injections can diagnose the source of neck pain and provide relief.
Multiwave Locked System (MLS) robotic class IV laser therapy is a safe, painless procedure that uses light energy to eliminate pain and reduce inflammation.
