Treatment
For the majority of people with cervicalgia, their pain can be treated conservatively. Initial treatments could include anti-inflammatory medication, heat/ice application, ergonomic reform, and physical therapy.
If a patient finds that their pain is persisting despite conservative treatments, more targeted medications can be prescribed such as muscle relaxants, topical anti-inflammatories, or even anticonvulsants which are known to control nerve pain.
If the patient finds that medication alone is not controlling their pain, there are many minimally invasive procedures that target the source of their cervicalgia. Treatments such as Epidural steroid injections, Radiofrequency ablation, nerve branch blocks, can be used as a last resort option.
