What Causes Neck Pain?

More than 90 percent of people experience neck pain at some point in their lives. Unfortunately, many people do nothing about it and suffer from symptoms that often worsen if left untreated. The team at NuMedX can usually determine the factors contributing to the problem, relieve the pain, and resolve the situation. 
Neck pain can be caused by work tasks, habitual postures, or overuse. More obviously, the pain may result in a serious injury such as a fall or other accident. Sometimes, a spinal problem can cause pain to radiate to the arms, legs, or head. Spinal issues can result in a loss in productivity at home and work and keep you from doing the things you love.

  • Degenerative Disc Disease
  • Disc Herniation

How is Neck Pain Treated? 

Many physicians will recommend surgeries or heavy doses of medication to deal with these causes of neck pain.

Here at NuMedX, we focus on drug free non-surgical intervention to assist you in healing from back and neck issues.
NuMedX’s treatment for neck pain focuses on the structures that support the spine and its joints, including muscles, tendons, and ligaments. The general approach is to reduce pain and stiffness, strengthen muscles and restore mobility.

The specific treatment is individualized for each patient, dependent on the outcome of the evaluation and ongoing spinal assessment as treatment progresses. The overall goal is to return to normal function.
