Head and shoulder pain largely occurs as a result of trauma, whiplash, osteoarthritis, nerve/spinal column compression, multiple sclerosis, and inflammation. Dr. Patel treats a number of conditions within this category, including but not limited to occipital neuralgia, migraines, shoulder pain, and cervicogenic headaches.
Since treatment options will vary depending on the type and severity of your pain, Dr. Patel offers a variety of different nerve blocks, steroid injections, and stimulators to provide you with long-term relief. If you are awaiting elective surgery for any of these conditions, we would be glad to see you first to relieve your pain prior to surgery.
