Neck pain after a car accident is a common reason for the drive from Jacksonville. Whiplash that has not settled after a few months usually has a joint source that can be confirmed with a block. Bring any imaging taken at the time.
This page covers the practical side of coming from Jacksonville. For the medicine, see how we work out and treat neck pain.
How it works
How many trips it usually takes.
-
01
Visit one: about an hour
History, examination and imaging review. Neck pain, arm pain and headache can share a source, so the first visit is about separating them.
-
02
One or two diagnostic blocks
Short visits, a few minutes each. They confirm whether the small joints of the neck are carrying the pain before any longer-lasting treatment is aimed at them.
-
03
The procedure
Radiofrequency ablation or an epidural injection, in this office, home the same day.
-
04
Follow-up
A short visit to judge the result.
