Fluid Flow Regenerative Medicine Therapy
Neck Pain
Depending on the type of injury you experience, damage or strain to your neck may result in neck pain as well as headache, shoulder pain, and numbness or tingling in the arms and legs.
Fluid flow regenerative medicine therapy can be used to treat and manage neck pain.
Types of Injuries That Lead to Neck Pain Include:
· Whiplash.
Whiplash, which is usually due to an accident that causes your head to move around violently, is thought to be the most common type of neck injury. In whiplash, damage to the soft tissues in your neck, including muscles, ligaments, and nerves, can lead to a variety of symptoms, such as neck pain and stiffness, headache, dizziness, and tingling, numbness, or weakness in your neck and limbs.
· Repetitive strain.
Poor posture or maintaining an awkward position while working at the computer, sleeping on an inadequate pillow, or reading in bed can cause the muscles in your neck to become strained. Over time, this muscle strain can lead to neck pain.
· Sprains and strains.
Certain injuries, especially sports-related injuries, may cause muscle strains and ligament sprains in the neck. This type of injury usually results in neck pain that is aggravated by activity. With rest and anti-inflammatory medication, like ibuprofen and naproxen, neck sprains and strains usually heal over time.
· Nerve pinch injury.
Another common sports-related injury that can result in neck pain is a nerve pinch injury, also known as a “stinger” or “burner” injury. A pinched or compromised nerve in the neck can produce sharp, shooting sensations in the neck and arms. Pinched nerve symptoms typically go away fairly quickly.
· Disk injury.
If an injury, such as heavy lifting, results in damage to a vertebral disk, nerves in the neck may become irritated, causing pain to travel from the neck into the legs.
· Vertebral fracture.
Some injuries can cause a vertebra in your neck to fracture, or break. This type of neck injury is always a medical emergency since a spinal fracture can damage the spinal cord, leading to paralysis or even death.
· Spinal cord damage.
A neck injury may result in spinal cord damage if the accident is severe enough to disrupt the vertebral bones designed to protect the spinal cord. Since the spinal cord is made up of essential nerve elements, spinal cord injuries can cause partial or complete paralysis, and even death. Car accidents, sports-related injuries, and diving injuries can all damage the spinal cord.
Fluid Flow Regenerative Medicine Therapy as a Treatment Option
Fluid flow regenerative medicine therapy is a safe and effective treatment for chronic neck pain and instability because it strengthens the ligaments that are weak and causing the pain. The injections restart the body’s natural healing cascade to the weakened structures that otherwise have a poor blood supply and have ceased being able to repair on their own.
It is like supplying construction workers who are waiting at the site with the right tools to complete the job. Each treatment builds upon itself, and as the tissue strengthens the patient notices fewer symptoms and increased stability. Typically, a few treatments are needed to permanently restore the integrity of the ligaments so the symptoms are fully resolved and the patient is back to full activities.
Fluid Flow Regenerative Medicine Therapy to the Cervical Facet Joints
Fluid flow regenerative medicine therapy is the treatment of choice when cervical instability is the cause of a patient’s chronic neck pain, headaches, migraines, vertigo, ringing in the ears, and other symptoms of cervicocranial syndrome.
Tailored to Each Patients Need
When you understand spinal instability, it only makes sense to address all of these areas versus only targeting a couple structures. This technique provides superior patient results. When it comes to patients who have already begun to lose their lordotic curve, utilizing additional protocols, including cervical weights to help restore a proper curve is advised. Find a facility where treatment protocols are tailored to each patient’s specific needs, like Premier osteoarthritis Clinics of Pennsylvania. Where you can engage the physicians about fluid flow regenerative medicine therapy and know the best way forward to treat your chronic neck pain.
