Neck Pain
Expert Care for Lasting Relief
Understanding and Treating Neck Pain
in Evans and Augusta, GA
Neck pain can range from mild discomfort to debilitating stiffness and limited mobility. Whether caused by injury, wear and tear, or nerve-related issues, FX Spine & Pain Center provides targeted, non-surgical treatments to relieve pain and restore function.
What Causes Neck Pain?
Neck pain often results from injuries, poor posture, or degenerative conditions. Some of the most common causes include:
- Sprains and strains – Often due to sports injuries, overextension, or poor posture.
- Whiplash – A common injury following car accidents, leading to muscle and ligament strain.
- Herniated discs – When spinal discs bulge or rupture, they can press on nerves, causing pain and inflammation.
- Degenerative disorders – Conditions like arthritis and spinal stenosis that lead to progressive joint and nerve damage.
How Is Neck Pain Treated?
At FX Spine & Pain Center, our board-certified interventional pain specialist uses advanced, minimally invasive treatments designed to target the root cause of your pain. We offer:
Targeted Injection Therapies
- Cervical Transforaminal Epidural Steroid Injection – Reduces swelling and inflammation around compressed nerves due to disc damage, degeneration, or injury.
- Cervical Interlaminar Epidural Steroid Injection – Similar to the transforaminal injection, but placed where it can reach multiple nerves for broader pain relief.
- Cervical Facet Block – Identifies and treats pain stemming from facet joints, which can become inflamed due to arthritis or degeneration.
Each procedure is guided by fluoroscopic X-ray imaging to ensure precise placement. A local anesthetic provides immediate relief, while the steroid works over 5–10 days to reduce inflammation and long-term pain.
What Other Treatments Are Available for Neck Pain?
Beyond injections, FX Spine & Pain Center offers additional advanced treatments tailored to your specific condition:
- Cervical Radiofrequency Ablation – Uses controlled radiofrequency energy to disrupt nerve signals, providing long-lasting pain relief by preventing pain signals from reaching the brain.
- Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) – Involves placing a small device near the spine that delivers gentle electrical pulses, modifying pain signals before they reach the brain. This option is ideal for patients with chronic, treatment-resistant neck pain.
Can FX Neuromuscular Therapy Help with Neck Pain?
Yes! FX Neuromuscular Therapy is a non-invasive neuromuscular stimulation treatment that helps restore muscle function, improve mobility, and relieve chronic pain. By retraining the nerve-to-muscle connections, we help patients reduce discomfort, regain range of motion, and enhance overall performance.
