FAQs
Q1: What causes chronic neck pain?
Chronic neck pain can be caused by muscle strain, poor posture (such as “text neck”), cervical disc degeneration, arthritis, nerve compression, or stress-related tension. At Anantha Advanced Pain Management Centre, we use targeted clinical evaluation and advanced imaging to accurately identify the root cause before planning treatment.
Q2: What is the best non-surgical treatment for neck pain?
We specialize in minimally invasive, non-surgical treatments such as cervical epidural injections, facet joint blocks, and medial branch nerve blocks. These image-guided procedures effectively interrupt pain signals and restore mobility—without the risks of open surgery.
Q3: How quickly can I get back to work or daily activities?
Most patients resume light activities within 24–48 hours of our day-care procedures, experiencing significant improvement in pain and function.
Q4: Is the procedure painful?
No. All injections and nerve-blocks are performed under local anesthesia with real-time imaging guidance, ensuring minimal discomfort. We also provide oral medication and physiotherapy support for smooth recovery.
Q5: How long does the pain relief last?
Relief can last months to years depending on the underlying condition. Treatments can be safely repeated if required and may be combined with physiotherapy, TENS therapy, or stress management for longer-term benefits.
