Why is neck treatment at LEPR better than conventional physical therapy?
The conventional approach to treating neck pain is by focusing primarily on the source of the pain and not the whole perspective of neck pain. The neck pain that has come to you is self-dependent but may come from anywhere in the chain of the movement of your body from toes up till the tip of the cap. Neck pain is generally a symptom rather than a cause.
Conventional neck pain treatment includes,
Using various corticosteroid injections for management of inflammation.
Steroid cervical epidural injections in order to diminish inflammation within peripheral tissues and nerve rootlets.
Cervical nerve root blocks for relieving neck pain.
The following muscle relaxants are used on tight muscles for stress reduction.
Over-the-counter pain relievers.
Cold or heat alternate to manage pain and swellings.
Surgical procedure used in removing discs which cause disturbance to nerve roots.
