Do You Need Specialized Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Care for the Neck?

A neck condition or injury can limit your ability to work, exercise, sleep, or perform everyday activities comfortably. You may benefit from seeing a neck surgeon if you are experiencing any of the following:

• Sharp or persistent neck pain
• Stiffness or reduced range of motion
• Pain radiating into the shoulder, arm, or upper back
• Numbness or tingling in the arms or hands
• Muscle spasms
• Headaches originating from the neck
• Weakness in the arms or grip

These symptoms may indicate a herniated disc, nerve compression, arthritis, or another cervical spine condition. Our specialty-trained neck doctors can provide a precise diagnosis and discuss treatment options tailored to your needs. Conditions our neck doctors treat include:

• Cervical deformities
• Cervical instability
• Cervical radiculopathy
• Cervical spondylosis (neck arthritis)
• Cervical spinal stenosis
• Degenerative disc disease
