Your neck, or cervical spine, is composed of vertebrae, spinal discs, and nerves, among other soft tissues. When any of these structures experience damage, degeneration, or are unable to function properly, you could experience significant pain. Our experienced NJ spine and orthopedic specialists are here to relieve that pain.
Spine and neck pain are among the most common musculoskeletal complaints in the country — according to the National Institutes of Health, up to 80% of people will experience back pain at some point in their lives, and about 14% of U.S. adults are dealing with neck pain at any given time. If you are suffering from a spine, neck, or back pain condition in New Jersey, our orthopedic team at Oasis Orthopedic & Spine can help you find a path to relief.
Whether the pain is in your neck, upper spine, or lower spine, the underlying causes and treatment options often overlap. Our conditions team takes a comprehensive look at the full spine — cervical, thoracic, and lumbar — to identify what is driving your symptoms and build a treatment plan that works for you.
Pain in the neck or cervical spine is a common complaint among adults and can manifest in many different ways. The cervical (neck) area of your spine has more freedom of movement than the thoracic (middle) and lumbar (lower) areas. That freedom also makes it more complex and more susceptible to injury and pain, including a herniated disc. There can also be a wide range of causes of spine and neck pain.
Neck and back pain can occur at any age, and the causes can be extremely varied. Common causes of spine and neck pain include:
Spinal pain, particularly in the lumbar region, often stems from many of the same conditions. Prolonged sitting, poor ergonomics, and age-related disc changes are especially common drivers of low back pain in adults who work sedentary jobs or perform physical labor.
Spine and neck pain can be alarming simply because of where it is located. The most common symptoms include:
Back pain may also present as radiating pain down the legs, difficulty standing for extended periods, or a general sense of tightness and fatigue in the lower back. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, there may be an underlying condition that needs attention. Use our pain assessment tool to start identifying the source of your pain.
Simple, daily activities — sitting at your desk, sleeping, or even watching TV — can impact your neck and spine. Your posture plays a significant role in the long-term health of your cervical spine and lumbar spine. If spine or neck pain is affecting your daily life, our team at Oasis Orthopedic & Spine can help you find relief.
Most spine and neck pain can be treated with non-surgical care. Our physicians will conduct a physical exam, review your symptoms, and order any imaging needed to diagnose the source of your pain. Non-surgical treatment options may include:
Many patients with cervical and lumbar spine conditions see meaningful improvement through conservative care alone, without the need for surgery.
When non-surgical treatments are not producing relief, a minimally invasive surgical treatment may be the right next step. The two main goals of surgery for neck and spine pain are to decompress a nerve or spinal cord, or to stabilize the affected area of the spine. The right procedure depends on the underlying condition causing your pain. Common minimally invasive surgical treatments include:
Our board-certified spine physicians will work with you to determine the least invasive approach that addresses your specific condition and health goals.
