Pain Interventionist: Diagnosis is radiological description of bones seen in asymptomatic people as well as those with pain; are normal age-related changes. Did you have an actual hands-on poking and prodding of unclothed upper back, shoulders and neck? Chronic soft tissue (ligaments, tendons, and muscles) injuries can be painful and not show up on x- rays. Too often radiology terms used when doctor is stumped.

McKenzie Exercises: Pt for back and neck conditions involve stretching, strengthening, and some range of motion. These exercises start very gently, and then are progressed by a certified pt based upon patient response. All patients are different, so the exact exercises differ as does the progress. Use of heat, rubs, electrical devices and ultrasound is not a long-term answer. No pain no gain to a point.
