Neck Pain Treatment Options

Interventional neck pain treatment options with Dr. Saleh Atiyah pain specialist in Amman

Neck pain treatment progresses from simple conservative therapy to advanced interventional procedures depending on condition severity and accurate diagnosis. Dr. Saleh Atiyah offers a comprehensive range of treatment options focusing on achieving the best outcome with minimal intervention using the latest techniques.

Neck pain treatment usually begins with conservative therapy including pain medications, anti-inflammatory drugs, and specialized physical therapy. Short rest while avoiding painful positions is helpful in the acute phase, but prolonged rest is not recommended.

Cervical facet joint injections under fluoroscopic guidance treat pain from inflammation or degeneration of these joints. Radiofrequency ablation of cervical facet nerves provides long-term pain relief by disrupting the small nerves responsible for transmitting pain signals from these joints.

Cervical epidural injections are used to treat pain from cervical disc herniation and canal stenosis. Corticosteroid is injected around the affected nerves to reduce inflammation and pressure. This procedure requires high precision and is performed under fluoroscopic guidance.

Trigger point injections in the neck and shoulder muscles help relieve chronic muscle spasm and myofascial pain. Occipital nerve blocks are used to treat headaches arising from neck problems and occipital nerve irritation.

Each patient needs a comprehensive individual evaluation including clinical examination and MRI or X-ray imaging to determine the exact cause. Based on the diagnosis, a graduated treatment plan is developed starting with the least invasive options and progressing based on response.
