Conditions · Neck pain

Neck pain with symptoms into the shoulder, arm or hand.

A disc in the neck can press on a nerve the same way a disc in the low back does. Where the symptoms travel is one of the clues. Prime Spine offers non-surgical decompression for the neck as well as the low back.

Where non-surgical decompression fits

A disc problem in the neck, seen on your MRI, with symptoms into the arm that have not settled with the usual care.

Questions

Questions about low back pain

Each nerve in the neck supplies a different part of the arm and hand. Whether the thumb, the middle fingers or the little finger is affected helps show where in the neck the nerve is pinched.
It is non-surgical spinal decompression for the neck. You lie on the padded table while it applies a gentle, computer-controlled pull to the neck, on and off, to take pressure off the disc.
Often it is muscle strain from posture, and it settles with movement and rest. Neck pain that keeps coming back, or that travels into the arm, is more likely to involve a disc or nerve and is worth an evaluation.
It helps, because an MRI shows the discs and the nerves. If you do not have one, Dr. Lee can refer you for imaging after she examines you.
