Request an AppointmentCommon Sources of Neck Pain
Your neck supports the weight of your head while allowing a wide range of motion, which makes it vulnerable to wear and injury. Neck pain may come from the facet joints, discs, nerves, or muscles, and each source responds best to a different treatment. Pain that stays in the neck is often joint- or muscle-related, while pain that travels into the shoulder, arm, or hand usually signals an irritated nerve.
Our providers use a careful exam, imaging, and diagnostic injections to find the true source of your pain. Explore the treatments and conditions below.

Frequently Asked Questions About Neck Pain Treatment

See a provider if neck pain lasts more than a few weeks, follows an injury, or comes with numbness, tingling, or weakness in the arms.
