Neck and arm pain is a common health problem that greatly affects the quality of life. Dr. Ahmed Al-Shal, a consultant in treating spine, joint and nerve pain without surgery, offers advanced and effective solutions to treat these pains in non-surgical ways, using the latest techniques and therapeutic methods.
Neck and arm pain:
Pain can arise in the neck and spread to the arms and sometimes the fingers, and is caused by a variety of causes, such as pressure on the nerves in the cervical spine or injuries, and the pain may range from mild to severe and may interfere with daily activities.
Symptoms:
– Constant or intermittent pain in the neck that extends to the arms.
– Numbness, tingling, or weakness in the arms and fingers.
– Difficulty moving and stiffness in the neck and shoulders.
Causes:
– Herniated disc and spinal stenosis.
– Repeated stress, poor posture, and constant pressure on the neck and arms.
– Injuries resulting from accidents or sports activities.
– Degenerative changes in the spine with age.
Diagnosis:
Dr. Ahmed Al-Shal uses a range of diagnostic methods, including:
– Comprehensive physical examination to assess neck and arm movement.
– X-rays and MRI to detect any structural changes.
– Neurological tests to assess nerve function.
Treatment:
Some cases of neck and arm pain respond to conservative treatment such as (taking medications and painkillers prescribed by the doctor, doing some exercises, and using compresses to relieve pain), but some severe cases do not respond to conservative treatment and the following methods are used to treat neck and arm pain:
- Physical therapy.
– Special exercises to strengthen and stretch the muscles surrounding the neck and arms.
– Manual therapy sessions to improve flexibility and relieve pain.
- Radiofrequency Technology:
One of the latest techniques that has proven effective in treating pain without surgery and without side effects. It depends on weakening the nerve roots that transmit pain signals to the brain by using thermal energy to relieve pain and improve nerve function.
