From posture strain to nerve compression, neck pain can interfere with daily life, but advanced treatments can bring relief.
Neck pain is a common condition that can result from muscle strain, poor posture, arthritis, or compression of the nerves in the cervical spine. It may cause stiffness, headaches, or radiating pain into the shoulders and arms. For some, it becomes a chronic issue that affects work, sleep, and quality of life.
Muscle strain and tension
Cervical arthritis (degenerative joint disease)
Spinal stenosis (narrowing of cervical spine canal)
Whiplash or prior injury
Passive treatments like rest or basic painkillers may only offer temporary relief. If pain persists, it’s often because the underlying cause—like nerve irritation or joint inflammation—hasn’t been resolved. This is when targeted, advanced care may be required.

A two-step process: First, a Medial Branch Block (a diagnostic test) confirms the exact pain source. If successful, Radiofrequency Ablation is then used to provide long-term relief.

Precise injections using ultrasound imaging for accuracy and safety.

Targets painful 'knots' (trigger points) in muscles to relieve tension. This injection specifically addresses muscular pain, not nerve or joint pain.

Focused treatment tailored to whether the pain is muscle-based, nerve-related, or degenerative.
Early pain relief with continued support to prevent recurrence.
Comprehensive history and physical exam. Advanced imaging (MRI or CT) is ordered when necessary to confirm a diagnosis or rule out other conditions.
Most treatments are quick and performed under local anesthesia.
