| Neck Pain/Arm Pain can be a symptom of many different conditions. Neck pain is commonly caused by muscle strain, arthritis, or other spinal disorders. There are many nerves in and around the spine that can be sensitive to pain. A thorough evaluation should be done by your physician to determine the etiology of your pain. Pain or numbness shooting into your shoulders, arms, or hands; loss of strength in the hands and arms; and changes in the bowel and/or bladder may indicate further neck problems. Any pain that is new or worsening in nature should be treated immediately. |

CERVICAL FACET INJECTIONS: A cervical facet injection may be used to help reduce the pain caused by arthritis around the
facet joints in the cervical spine. The physician uses x-ray guidance to place steroid medication around the nerves of the
facet joints. This helps to decrease the inflammation caused by the arthritis. If steroid injections provide only short term
relief, you and your physician may decide to use radiofrequency as the next tool for treating your pain. This is a relatively safe
procedure designed to provide longer relief from pain when steroid administration is not effective.
