Neck
Conditions
The neck is a complex system of muscles, nerves, and vertebral bones confined in a small space, making it vulnerable to damage and injury. Pain can be caused by a myriad of orthopaedic issues, including abnormalities in the bones or joints, traumatic injuries, poor posture, degenerative diseases, and muscle strains.
At Vail-Summit Orthopaedics & Neurosurgery, our neck doctors understand that a timely and accurate diagnosis is the key to determining the most effective treatment plan for your individual condition.
When Should I Consult a Neck Specialist?
Though neck pain is quite common, it is important to seek treatment with a neck specialist if you are experiencing any of the following symptoms of neck pain:
-
Pain that radiates to the arm or hand
-
A weakness of the arm or hand
-
Sensitivity or sensory disturbance of the arm or leg
-
Clumsiness or deteriorating coordination of the arm or hand
Neck injuries can result in spasms and pain in the muscles, as well as referred pain experienced as headaches. Additionally, structural problems within the vertebrae, discs, and nerves of the neck can present as neck pain, headaches, and paresthesia. If left untreated, neck injuries and conditions can progress and cause further damage and severe discomfort, leaving you to suffer from chronic pain, weakness, or numbness. Seek specialized treatment to ensure that a proper diagnosis is made.
At Vail-Summit Orthopaedics & Neurosurgery, we know that a neck injury or condition can be extremely painful and cause a host of disruptive symptoms. Our neck specialists are committed to developing customized treatment plans to accommodate your individual condition and get you back to your active lifestyle quickly and safely.
I could not be happier with my cervical artificial disc replacement results. Before the surgery I was in almost constant excruciating pain. Now I am completely pain free! The surgery went flawlessly, and I am on my way to a full recovery. Dr. Braxton is not only a world-class surgeon but also appears to be humbled by the successes his gift makes possible. He was genuinely concerned with me as a human being and attentive to my questions. Everything was explained to me in a way that I could understand. The entire Vail-Summit staff was excellent, and after consulting with Dr. Braxton and his assistants, I had no reservations about the procedure. Summit County is blessed to have such services available.
