You should schedule a consultation with a pain specialist if your neck pain persists for more than a few weeks, fails to improve with rest, or severely limits your daily routine. It is particularly crucial to seek expert care immediately if your neck pain is accompanied by radiating numbness, tingling, or weakness in your shoulders, arms, or hands, as these symptoms indicate potential nerve compression that requires targeted intervention.
Many of our interventional treatments, such as Epidural Steroid Injections and Radio-frequency Ablation (RFA), are widely covered by major commercial insurance plans and Medicare. Regenerative and wellness therapies may have different coverage options, which our billing team will review with you transparently before any treatment begins.
In many cases, no! You can contact our office directly to schedule an initial consultation. However, some insurance plans do require a primary care referral, so we recommend checking your specific policy or calling our friendly front desk team for guidance.
During your initial consultation, our expert team will conduct a comprehensive evaluation that begins with a detailed review of your medical history and a thorough physical examination to assess your neck's range of motion, muscle strength, and nerve reflexes. We will also carefully review any existing imaging, such as X-rays or MRIs, or order new diagnostics if necessary, allowing us to build a personalized, highly targeted treatment plan tailored specifically to the root cause of your discomfort.
Describe your pain clearly and in as much detail as possible. Most doctors and nurses ask you to describe your level of pain on a scale.
