A Texas-based spine surgeon, Dr. Jamie Gottlieb works at Orthopedic Specialist North Texas in Denton. Dr. Jamie Gottlieb draws on over a decade of experience in the treatment of spine injuries including pain-causing cervical spine traumas.
When there is a problem in the cervical region of the spine, a variety of symptoms can occur. Neck pain, which represents the majority of the symptoms, is the most definitive and direct consequence of a defect in the cervical region of the spine. According to studies, as many as 43 percent of neck pains resolve without specific treatments. About one-third of patients with neck pain however continue to suffer from moderate to severe symptoms.
Cervical or neck pain can be classified into three major categories as recommended by the Agency for Health Care Policy for Research. These are:
1. Pain from potentially serious conditions such as severe trauma to the spine or tumor.
2. Radicular pain that results from nerve root compromise.
3. All other pain syndromes that fall out of the aforementioned categories, including traumatic injury of musculoskeletal and discogenic nature.
