Non-Surgical Neck Pain Solutions In Phoenix, AZ -Mountain View

Understanding the Sources of Neck Pain

Neck pain can affect daily activities such as turning your head, lifting objects, or even getting restful sleep. For some individuals, it may also be accompanied by symptoms like headaches, muscle stiffness, or dizziness, making routine movement more difficult and reducing quality of life.

The cervical spine, the portion of the spine in the neck, includes seven vertebrae, each separated by cushioning discs. These vertebrae connect through joints called facet joints, while surrounding muscles, tendons, ligaments, and nerves work together to stabilize and move the neck. Any of these structures may contribute to neck pain. For instance, irritation in the cervical facet joints can sometimes refer pain upward into the head.

Neck pain may be caused by wear and tear, traumatic injury, or degenerative changes. Specific conditions can include herniated or bulging discs, arthritic facet joints, weakened ligaments, muscle imbalances, or compressed nerves. Because these issues often overlap, physicians in the licensed Regenexx network focus on identifying the multiple structures involved and addressing them with targeted, image-guided procedures designed to support the body’s natural repair response.

There is a range of treatment options available for addressing neck pain related to cervical spine conditions. These may include physical therapy, acupuncture, and prescription medications, which are considered less invasive. At the other end of the spectrum is cervical spinal fusion surgery, a procedure that permanently joins two or more vertebrae using surgical hardware to stabilize the spine.

Some conservative approaches, such as epidural steroid injections or trigger-point injections, may offer temporary symptom relief. However, repeated use of high-dose steroids may affect the body’s natural repair capacity, and trigger-point injections may have an impact on muscle tissue.

That’s why physicians in the licensed Regenexx network offer a different approach. At our Phoenix clinic, image-guided procedures using Regenexx lab processes are designed to address cervical spine issues by targeting the involved structures with your body’s own platelets or bone marrow-derived cells, offering a less invasive alternative to surgery.

At Mountain View Headache and Spine Institute in Phoenix, Arizona, physicians in the licensed Regenexx network offer non-surgical procedures designed to help address neck pain by targeting the underlying sources of dysfunction. While some individuals may ultimately require surgery, many cases of neck pain can be addressed through less invasive methods that avoid the risks associated with surgical intervention.

These outpatient procedures use customized concentrations of your body’s own healing components. Regenexx injectates are created from either super-concentrated platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or bone marrow concentrate (BMC), depending on the structures involved. Using real-time imaging, the physician delivers these biologics directly to the affected areas in the cervical spine.

This approach is intended to support the body’s natural repair response while typically requiring less downtime than surgery and minimal reliance on opioid pain medications. Your physician will work with you to determine the most appropriate orthobiologic and treatment plan based on your condition and goals.
