Understanding Different Types of Neck Pain

  • May involve stiffness and sharp discomfort
  • Often improves with rest, gentle movement, and early care

  • Can be constant or come and go
  • Often linked to posture, stress, or underlying conditions
  • May impact sleep, mood, and daily function

Our Diagnostic Approach at Theramedic

Our Diagnostic Approach at Theramedic

Our specialists employ a comprehensive evaluation process to identify the root cause of your neck pain:

Step 1

Start with a detailed conversation about your symptoms and medical history.

Step 2

Identify how neck pain affects daily routine, mobility, sleep, and overall function.

Step 3

Review any past treatments and assess their success or lack of improvement.

Step 4

Test neck range of motion and flexibility through simple guided physical movements.

Step 5

Evaluate muscle strength and detect any signs of weakness or imbalance present.

Step 6

Check nerve function by assessing reflexes, sensation changes, or tingling in areas.

Step 7

Examine posture and gently palpate areas to locate specific points of discomfort.

Step 8

Recommend imaging like X-rays, MRI, or EMG for clearer diagnostic confirmation.
