Diagnosis and treatment of the Neck & Spine

At the Center for Advanced Orthopedics and Sports Medicine, our approach to diagnosing and treating neck and spine conditions involves a thorough physical examination, patient history, and imaging tests such as X-rays, MRI, or CT scans. Treatment options include:

  • Rest and Ice: Initial treatment to reduce pain and inflammation.
  • Physical Therapy: Exercises to improve strength, flexibility, and mobility.
  • Medications: Anti-inflammatory drugs, muscle relaxants, or pain relievers.
  • Injections: Corticosteroid or epidural injections to reduce inflammation and provide pain relief.
  • Chiropractic Care: Spinal adjustments to improve alignment and relieve pain.
  • Surgery: In severe cases, surgical interventions such as spinal fusion or disk replacement may be necessary to restore function and relieve pain.

Common signs include pain, numbness, and weakness in the neck, back, or limbs.

Regular exercise, maintaining good posture, and using proper lifting techniques can help prevent injuries.

If your pain persists for more than a few days, is severe, or is accompanied by numbness or weakness, see a doctor.

Treatment may include physical therapy, medications, injections, and in some cases, surgery.

Many conditions can be effectively managed with non-surgical treatments like physical therapy, medications, and injections.

Sciatica is often caused by a herniated disk or bone spur compressing the sciatic nerve.

Spinal fractures are diagnosed through physical examination and imaging tests like X-rays.

Regular exercise, maintaining good posture, proper ergonomics, and avoiding heavy lifting can help keep your neck and spine healthy.
