A Variety of Pain Conditions

At Interventional Care, we treat a variety of pain conditions related to back pain, neck pain, and associated spinal joint pain.
Back Pain

Back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek medical care. 25% of the American Adults had Back Pain in Last 3 Months. When we speak about “back pain” we mean pain that originates in the spine anywhere between the upper and lower back. The types of treatments for back pains vary, and our doctors are highly trained in the diagnosis, treatment and care of back pain.

Neck Pain

The neck includes nerves, joints, bones and muscles that are directed by the brain and spinal cord. Most episodes of neck pain, or cervical pain, are due to muscle strain or soft tissue sprain, but it can also be caused by a sudden force or injury Some neck pain improves with time and non-surgical care, but if neck pain continues or worsens, there is often a specific condition that requires treatment.

Spinal Joint Pain

Joints allow the spine to bend and twist and keep them from bending or twisting too far. Like a knee joint, they have cartilage to allow smooth movement where two bones meet. When joints get swollen because of injury or arthritis, it causes pain. If affected joint is in the neck, it can cause headaches or difficulty moving the head. If it is in the back, it can cause pain in the lower back, buttocks, or thighs.
