About Neck Pain

What is it and what are my treatment options?

Neck Pain Overview

Neck pain is a common type of pain that nearly everyone experiences at some point in their life. A spine specialist should see neck pain that lasts more than a few days. Carolina Orthopaedic and Neurosurgical Associates’ (CONA) spine specialists make accurate diagnoses and prescribe neck pain-reducing treatment plans.

Muscle spasms
Muscle tightness
Pain that is worse when the head is held still for prolonged periods

Weak neck muscles

Common Treatments:

Nonsurgical treatment options treat neck pain. After a thorough evaluation, a CONA spine specialist may recommend:

A brace or soft collar

This has been one of my most positive experiences at a Dr's office. I was treated with respect and love. They made my surgical procedure less stressful and very positive.

These are the best group of doctors that myself & my family have ever been treated by in this field of medicine. They listen to how you feel instead of telling you how you feel. Thank you all for your caring & kindness.
