Your spine does more than support your posture, it protects your spinal cord and allows your body to move, bend, and twist!

Here’s a simple breakdown:
• Cervical spine (neck): Supports your head and allows movement
• Thoracic spine (mid-back): Provides stability and protects vital organs
• Lumbar spine (lower back): Carries most of your body’s weight
• Sacral spine: Connects the spine to the pelvis

How Pain Travels:
When a disc, joint, or muscle becomes irritated, nearby nerves can send pain signals along specific pathways. That’s why back problems can cause pain that travels into the arms, legs, or hips.

Understanding where pain starts helps specialists pinpoint the source and create targeted treatment plans.

At Wisconsin Spine & Pain, we focus on diagnosing the cause, not just treating the symptoms. So, if you have neck or back pain, give us a call or visit our website to start your path to living comfortably again!

What is a Cervical Epidural Steroid Injection?

A cervical epidural steroid injection is a non-surgical outpatient treatment used to reduce pain and inflammation in the neck and upper back caused by irritated spinal nerves, like in cervical radiculitis, herniated discs, or pinched nerves. Steroids target inflammation, while a small amount of anesthetic helps block pain signals, offering relief so you can move, heal, and participate more fully in daily life.

Why it’s helpful:
✔️ Can rapidly reduce neck pain and upper back discomfort.
✔️ May improve strength, numbness, tingling, or radiating pain symptoms.
✔️ Helps patients engage in rehabilitation and physical therapy more comfortably.
✔️ Offers an option to manage pain without surgery for many people.

The procedure is guided with imaging like fluoroscopy to ensure precise placement in the epidural space around nerve roots.

At Wisconsin Spine & Pain, our board-certified specialists personalize your care, because every neck pain story is unique. If you’re dealing with persistent discomfort or radiculopathy symptoms, this could be a key step toward relief. So give us a call and get on the path to relief!

Neck Pain 101

Neck pain, also called cervical pain, is a very common condition. In fact, about two-thirds of people will experience neck pain at some point in their lives. It affects roughly 5% of the population, and women tend to report it more often than men. About half of neck pain episodes resolve within a year, but for others it can lead to ongoing discomfort and disability.

What Causes Neck Pain?

Neck pain can come from many sources, including:

Muscle strains — often from poor posture, long hours at a screen, or looking down at phones and laptops.
Worn joints & arthritis — age-related wear and tear can lead to osteoarthritis.
Nerve compression — herniated discs or bone spurs may press on cervical nerves.
Injuries — such as whiplash from a sudden movement or accident.
Diseases — conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, infections, or other systemic issues can sometimes contribute.
General health factors, like poor posture, stress-related muscle tension, and sleep position, can also play a role in triggering or worsening pain.

Common Symptoms

Neck pain might feel like:

A dull ache or stiffness
Pain that worsens when moving your head
Numbness or tingling in the arms
Headaches or shoulder pain
Sharp shooting pain or tenderness
If your pain is associated with numbness, weakness, or pain radiating into your arms or legs, it’s important to seek care.

When Should You Seek Help?

See a specialist if:

✅ Pain is persistent or severe
✅ Pain radiates into the arms
✅ You experience numbness, tingling, or weakness
✅ You have pain after a fall or injury

Early evaluation helps our team tailor a plan that’s right for your neck pain.

What Is Chronic Pain?

Not all pain is the same. Understanding the difference between acute and chronic pain can help you know when it’s time to seek care!

Acute Pain
• Short-term pain that comes on suddenly
• Often caused by injury, surgery, or strain
• Typically improves as the body heals

Chronic Pain
• Pain that lasts 3 months or longer
• May continue even after an injury has healed
• Can affect daily activities, sleep, mood, and quality of life

Why Early Treatment Matters
Ignoring ongoing pain can allow it to worsen over time. Early evaluation and treatment can help reduce inflammation and nerve irritation, improve mobility and function, and prevent pain from becoming long-term.

If pain is interfering with your life, it may be time to talk with a pain specialist. At Wisconsin Spine & Pain, we focus on identifying the cause and creating personalized treatment plans to help you find relief!

Your spine relies on surrounding muscles for support and stability. When these muscles are weak, the spine absorbs more stress, often leading to pain, stiffness, or injury. Targeted strengthening helps protect the spine by improving balance, posture, and movement control.

Key exercises that support spinal health include:

🔹 Planks – Strengthen the core muscles that stabilize the spine during daily movements
🔹 Bridges – Activate the glutes and lower back to reduce strain on the lumbar spine
🔹 Bird-Dog Exercises – Improve coordination and spinal stability while promoting proper alignment
🔹 Pilates or Yoga – Enhance flexibility, core strength, and posture with low-impact movements

If stretching and exercise aren’t helping relieve your back pain, our team at Wisconsin Spine & Pain is here to help you get back to living your best life and managing your pain!

Is Your Pain Coming From a Nerve? Here’s How to Tell!

Not all pain is the same. Nerve pain (also called neuropathic pain) occurs when a nerve is irritated, compressed, or damaged, and it often feels very different from muscle or joint pain.

Common signs of nerve pain include:
• Burning or electric-like sensations
• Tingling or “pins and needles”
• Numbness or weakness
• Pain that travels down the arm or leg

Conditions like sciatica, herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or arthritis can place pressure on nerves, leading to ongoing discomfort.

Because nerve pain doesn’t always respond to rest or over-the-counter medications, targeted treatments, such as image-guided injections or nerve blocks, may be recommended to reduce inflammation and improve function.

At Wisconsin Spine & Pain, our team specializes in diagnosing the source of pain and creating personalized treatment plans to help patients find lasting relief.

If your pain feels sharp, burning, or keeps coming back, it may be nerve-related, and a consultation can help identify the cause. So let Wisconsin Spine & Pain help you get back to living your life comfortably!

Chronic knee pain, especially from arthritis or after surgery, can make everyday activities difficult. A Genicular Nerve Block is a minimally invasive procedure designed to help reduce knee pain and improve function.

What is a Genicular Nerve Block?
It’s an injection that targets the small nerves around the knee (genicular nerves) responsible for sending pain signals to the brain.

How Does It Help?
By temporarily blocking these pain signals, patients may experience significant pain relief, making it easier to walk, exercise, and stay active.

What to Expect
The procedure is quick, performed with image guidance for precision, and typically requires little to no downtime.

If knee pain is limiting your quality of life, our specialists at Wisconsin Spine & Pain can help determine if a genicular nerve block is right for you!

Joint injections are a minimally invasive procedure used to help reduce pain and inflammation in joints such as the knees, hips, shoulders, and spine.

🔍 Step-by-Step: What to Expect

1️ Targeting the Joint
First, we use imaging guidance (such as X-ray or ultrasound) to precisely locate the painful joint and ensure accurate placement.

2️ Cleaning & Comfort
The skin is carefully cleaned, and a local anesthetic may be used to help keep you comfortable during the procedure.

3️ Medication Injection
A combination of medication, often a corticosteroid to reduce inflammation and sometimes a numbing agent, is injected directly into the joint.

4️ Relief Begins
The medication works to calm inflammation inside the joint, helping relieve pain, stiffness, and swelling. Many patients notice improvement within days!

The procedure is quick and convenient!
• Typically completed in just a few minutes
• No surgery required
• Little to no downtime

Joint injections can provide meaningful relief and help improve mobility, allowing you to return to daily activities with less pain!

Lifting the wrong way is one of the most common causes of back injuries, but a few simple steps can help keep your spine safe.

✔️ Plan before you lift – Know where you’re going and make sure the path is clear.
✔️ Keep the item close – Holding items close to your body reduces strain on your back.
✔️ Bend at your hips and knees – Squat down and use your legs, not your back.
✔️ Keep your back straight – Avoid rounding your shoulders or arching your spine.
✔️ Lift smoothly – Avoid sudden or jerky movements.
✔️ Don’t twist while lifting – Turn with your feet, not your torso.

If lifting causes pain, or you’re dealing with ongoing back discomfort, it may be time to seek expert care. Our team at Wisconsin Spine & Pain is here to help you move safely and comfortably!
