Neck Pain Treatment in Tucson

What We Review

Neck symptoms may remain local or extend into the shoulder, arm, or hand. Evaluation considers range of motion, prior injuries, work and posture demands, headaches, and any arm numbness, tingling, or weakness. The goal is to distinguish common mechanical neck pain from symptoms that may need additional testing or more urgent evaluation.

Evaluation Focus

• Where the pain begins and whether it travels into an arm
• Any numbness, tingling, weakness, or loss of hand function
• Prior injuries, imaging, therapy, and activities that aggravate symptoms

An appointment may include review of your symptoms, medical history, prior treatments, medication history, relevant imaging or records, and how pain is affecting daily function. Recommendations depend on individual findings and medical appropriateness.

• Location and pattern of symptoms
• Prior imaging, procedures, or therapy
• Current and previous medications
• Functional goals and daily limitations
