Neck pain is a pain in the neck for many people. Whiplash injury or disc herniation or disc degeneration may all in any combination or soley be the culprits. Chiropractic care at Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers is usually useful in relieving the neck pain and even correlated arm pain for Baton Rouge neck pain patients.  Some of our patients find us prior to selecting surgery for relief or seek us out after a neck surgery that may not have relieved the pain as expected.

Nowadays, some choose to undergo Baton Rouge neck surgery for a neck pain condition called cervical spondylotic myelopathy. Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers sees many after such surgery, too. But researchers are exploring the optimal approaches for the best outcomes with neck surgery. They report that anterior (from the front of the neck) approaches work better it seems in younger neck pain patients who have less severe impairment and more focal pathology with cervical spondylotic myelopathy. But they also say that patients report good outcomes with anterior and posterior approaches as long as other factors are controlled. (2)
