Most of us have experienced or will experience some sort of neck pain during our lifetime. According to the Institute for Chronic Pain (ICP), “At any given time, 34-43% of the population report having neck pain.” Acute neck pain can be caused by anything from muscle soreness to poor posture, and can usually be healed with rest, hydration, and over the counter treatments.
Chronic neck pain, however, is much different. It is lingering, and can even be demobilizing. So, how do you know when it’s time to seek help from a specialist for neck pain?
If you answered yes to any of the above questions, or rest and over the counter treatments don’t appear to be relieving your neck pain, we recommend scheduling a diagnostic evaluation with Dr. Anijar today.
Dr. Anijar treats chronic neck pain that results from injury, such as whiplash, or that is resulting from a variety of underlying health conditions, such as (but not limited to):
A common explanation for chronic neck pain is degenerative disc disease in the cervical spine. While many of those with degenerative disc disease do not experience pain or chronic pain, many others do. According to ICP, the amount of those who do experience pain is relative to the amount of those who do not, and varies patient-to-patient.
Another common explanation for neck pain, as previously mentioned, can be from whiplash or another neck or spinal injury. Johns Hopkins states, “While most people who have a whiplash injury recover within a few weeks to a few months, some have persistent pain for several months or longer.” The most common cause of these types of injuries are caused by vehicle or sports related accidents.
In instances where neck pain continues to linger on for weeks or longer, seeing a medical professional or interventional pain specialist, such as Dr. Anijar, is recommended.
At the offices of Dr. Anijar, your symptoms will always be closely discussed and carefully evaluated. Providing patients with a pain-free life is always the ultimate goal. Dr. Anijar will take his time to personally listen to your health concerns, as well as ask questions about how chronic pain is currently hindering the ins and outs of your day to day life. He will work diligently to create personalized plans to increase mobility and manage your pain properly.
The latest diagnostic testing, such as X-rays and other imaging technology, is also available to properly assess the patient’s neck and spine as well — and all conveniently on-site.

After your consultation, if Dr. Anijar finds you have a severely damaged spinal disc or another condition which is not treatable with conservative therapies, he may refer you to an outside party for surgery.
