Neck Pain Q & A

What causes neck pain?

Neck pain is a common problem that can stem from a variety of causes, including:

At Midwest Innovative Pain Management, the team understands that neck pain can interfere with everything from driving to sleeping. They help you find lasting relief through compassionate, personalized care.

How is neck pain diagnosed?

Midwest Innovative Pain Management’s approach begins with a comprehensive evaluation to identify the root cause of your pain. Your provider will discuss your symptoms, medical history, and any previous injuries, and then perform a physical exam and, if needed, order imaging studies such as X-rays or an MRI.

Understanding whether your pain is muscular, joint-related, or nerve-based allows them to create a custom treatment plan tailored to your unique needs and goals.

What treatments are available for neck pain?

Midwest Innovative Pain Management specializes in nonsurgical, minimally invasive therapies that target pain at its source while promoting healing and function. Your plan may include one or more of the following treatments:

Medications

The team may prescribe anti-inflammatory medications, muscle relaxants, or nerve pain agents to help reduce pain, inflammation, and stiffness.

Trigger point injections

If tight or painful muscles are contributing to your discomfort, trigger point injections deliver medication directly into these areas. This helps relax muscles, relieve tension, and restore mobility.

Epidural steroid injections

When pain is due to an inflamed or pinched nerve (such as from a herniated disc or spinal stenosis), epidural steroid injections can reduce swelling and provide longer-term relief.

Facet joint injections or medial branch blocks

These treatments target the small joints in the neck that can cause pain due to arthritis, injury, or degeneration. By reducing inflammation and/or blocking pain signals, the injections can significantly decrease discomfort and improve movement.

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA)

For patients who experience temporary relief from diagnostic injections, RFA offers longer-lasting results by gently disrupting the small nerves responsible for transmitting pain signals.
