Dr. Chris Faubel answered

Specializes in Pain Management

Yes: As always, a proper evaluation by a spine specialist (pm;r physician, ortho spine, or neurosurgeon for example) is needed. Chronic burning in the back of the neck can be nerve root irritation, but can also sometimes be referred from the cervical facet joints.
