Specializes in Pain Management

Neck Pain: Neck pain after a lifting injury can have quite a long healing process, especially if the injury entailed nerve, ligament, or muscle injury. The injury reported is from heavy shrugs which is usually a stretch type injury. Without the cmri results and a detailed history with current activity level, it is very hard to comment on your situation. I would recommend seeing an orthopedic specialist.

Torn ligaments in ne: Torn or damaged neck ligaments need to be repaired and that will stabilize the neck and stop the pain. Prolotherapy is the first and best way to go . Visit www. Getprolo.Com or www, aaomed.Org for information and to find a doctor.

Complex: If you have had MRI and/or ct and xrays to eval. And nothing has helped, have you done cervical traction? Oral steroids? Stopped lifting 600pounds? Cervical stretching? Need spine specialst to eval.
