Neck Pain

Neck Pain

Neck pain is a common condition and in most of the instances it is self-limiting. But in some individuals neck pain can significantly impact daily life, from causing discomfort when turning your head to preventing you from performing simple tasks like driving or working in the office to even sleeping. Neck pain can range from a dull ache to sharp, stabbing sensations, and can occur suddenly or develop over time.
Reasons for neck pain are varied ranging from poor posture to underlying medical conditions. Understanding the source of your neck pain is critical to finding relief; and with non-surgical treatments available, patients now don’t have to rely solely on medication or invasive surgery for improvement. Mitigate Pain Clinic provides specialized interventional pain management techniques, offering non-surgical new-age solutions to relieve neck pain and improve quality of life.
