What Causes Neck Pain?
Your neck (cervical spine) is a complex system of vertebrae, discs, and nerves that supports your head while allowing for a wide range of motion. Neck pain often occurs when the shock-absorbing discs between the vertebrae become damaged due to age ("wear and tear") or injury.
When a disc herniates or degenerates, the inner gel can leak out or the disc height can collapse. This puts pressure on the sensitive nerve roots nearby. This pressure can send pain, numbness, or weakness traveling down into your shoulders, arms, and hands.
Request a consultation if you are experiencing any of these symptoms.
Dr. Sumit Das’s Evaluation & Treatment
Dr. Das combines 25+ years of neurosurgical expertise with advanced diagnostics to identify the root cause of your neck pain.
Physical Examination
Our evaluation begins with a comprehensive exam of your cervical spine, testing arm strength, reflexes, and range of motion to see how nerves are affecting your function.
Advanced MRI Imaging
We utilize high-resolution MRI imaging to visualize the soft tissues of the neck, pinpointing disc herniations or bone spurs that are compressing your nerves.
Physical Therapy & Traction
Customized neck exercises and cervical traction techniques to improve posture, offload pressure from discs, and strengthen stabilizing muscles.
On-Site Injections
Cervical epidural steroid injections or nerve blocks, performed on-site, can provide immediate, targeted relief for severe inflammation and nerve pain.
Medication Management
We utilize a strategic combination of anti-inflammatories and muscle relaxants to manage acute spasms and pain, allowing you to participate in therapy.
Surgical Intervention
If conservative care fails, Dr. Das offers advanced solutions like Cervical Disc Replacement or ACDF to permanently remove pressure from the spinal cord.
Successful Relief from Neck Pain
Restful Sleep: No more waking up with a stiff neck or struggling to find a comfortable pillow position.
Pain-Free Driving & Working: Ability to check your blind spot or work at a computer without sharp pain or tension headaches.
Restored Sensation: Numbness and tingling in the fingers subside, and grip strength returns to normal.
