Treating Neck Pain
A cervical epidural steroid injection is effective in treating neck pain, which is a common problem we see in our Chicago area pain management clinic. Neck pain is caused by several factors including recent trauma or old injury, disc misalignment or herniation, poor posture,congenital issues or even a sudden movement or jolt.
Long Term Pain Management

We may recommend cervical spine epidural injections as they can offer longer term pain management than pain medication alone. Coordination of care with physical therapists and reviews of patient data from orthopedists, spine surgeons, neurologists and chiropractors enable our pain management services expert team to offer many options for neck pain patients.
