Neck Pain Care

Neck pain deserves more than a one-size-fits-all answer.

Neck pain may involve discs, joints, muscles, nerves or a combination of factors. Modern Spine Health and Injury Care begins with an individual evaluation to help determine what may be contributing to your symptoms and which conservative care options may be appropriate.

Understand the source before choosing the treatment.

The existing Neck Pain page prominently discusses chronic neck pain and disc-related problems. The right next step is to determine whether your presentation is actually disc-related or whether another structure may be involved.

Evaluation First Your symptoms and examination findings help guide the care plan.
Disc-Focused Technology Available The practice offers DRX9000 spinal decompression for selected disc-related presentations.
Multiple Conservative Options Chiropractic care, laser therapy and other services may also be considered when appropriate.

Understanding Neck Pain

The same symptom can come from different structures.

Neck pain may feel like stiffness, aching, sharp discomfort, restricted motion or symptoms that extend into the shoulder, arm or hand.

The source page for this condition focuses heavily on disc degeneration, herniation and non-surgical spinal decompression. Those may be relevant for some patients, but an evaluation is needed before assuming a disc is the source of the problem.

Seek urgent medical attention for concerning symptoms.

Major trauma, rapidly worsening weakness or numbness, loss of coordination, severe headache with neurological symptoms, fever with severe neck pain, or other emergency symptoms should be evaluated promptly.

Available Care Options

Treatment should match the findings — not just the symptom label.

Modern Spine Health and Injury Care offers several conservative treatment approaches. Which option is appropriate depends on the individual patient's history and examination findings.

DRX9000 Decompression

The existing Neck Pain page specifically discusses non-surgical spinal decompression for selected patients with chronic neck pain and disc-related problems.

Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic care may be considered for appropriate musculoskeletal and movement-related neck complaints.

Laser Therapy

Class 4 laser therapy is another service offered by the practice and may be incorporated when appropriate.

Other Conservative Care

Additional treatment recommendations depend on the structures involved and the patient's individual presentation.

What May Be Involved

Neck pain can involve more than one type of tissue.

Disc-Related Problems

The source page discusses disc degeneration, bulging and herniation in relation to chronic neck pain and the use of the DRX9000 in selected cases.

Joint & Movement Restrictions

Painful or restricted cervical movement can contribute to neck discomfort and may be evaluated as part of a musculoskeletal examination.

Muscular & Soft-Tissue Irritation

Muscles and soft tissues may become irritated from posture, repetitive strain, activity or injury.

Nerve-Related Symptoms

Symptoms that radiate into the shoulder, arm or hand may require evaluation for possible nerve involvement.

Neck Pain FAQ

Common questions about neck pain care.

No. The source page describes the DRX9000 for selected disc-related presentations. Candidacy should be determined individually rather than based on neck pain alone.
The existing source page states that DRX9000 treatment typically takes about 20–30 minutes. The overall treatment plan is individualized.
There is no universal timeline. Individual responses vary, and a specific outcome or recovery time cannot be guaranteed.

Neck Pain

Non Surgical Spinal Decompression works by decompressing the injured disc of your spine, leading to a negative pressure within the disc. This technology is quite advanced because we can target the exact discs which are causing your problem.

The DRX9000.

If you are suffering with chronic lower back pain or chronic neck pain, you may benefit from a surgical alternative known as non surgical decompression therapy. Discover the DRX9000.​

Over time, whether there is injury or neglect, the spinal discs in our back begin to degenerate, very similar to a garden not getting water. When this happens, the discs become weak, and can tear causing a herniation.​

If these disc injuries are not corrected, continued degeneration occurs until the disc becomes arthritic leading to symptoms such as back pain, leg pain, sciatica and even neuropathy.​

Non Surgical Spinal Decompression using the DRX9000 works by gently distracting these injured discs so as to allow nutrients to be brought back into the disc. Once this occurs, natural healing processes can occur.

How Decompression Works.

Non Surgical Spinal Decompression works by gently decompressing the injured disc of your spine, leading to a negative pressure within the disc. The technology is quite advanced because we can target specific discs which are causing your problem.​

The DRX9000 has the capability to treat only those injured discs, leaving other discs alone.​

Essentially, this negative pressure creates a vacuum like effect which reduces the herniation. The reduction of the herniation leads to a reduction in pressure off the nerve root. Once this is stabilized, your back pain or leg pain symptoms will be alleviated.

The Process.

Once your case is evaluated and treatment will begin the following steps are initiated. On your first visit you will meet each of our staff and you will be instructed on what is going to happen during treatment that day, and you will also be educated on what you should and should not be doing at home to help your recovery process.​

When you start treatment on the DRX9000, you will be fitted with an upper and lower harness. Then, you will stand upright against the machine bed, while our staff slowly lowers you to a more flatten position. If you have trouble lying on your back, don’t worry. This position will be temporary as we provide a knee booster prior to treatment commencing. While on the DRX9000 the specialized computer-controlled table relaxes you. Treatment takes 20-30 minutes, and your treatment plan will be customized to your individual needs and symptoms.
