Integrative Sports and Spine offers comprehensive neck pain treatment in Alhambra, CA for patients across the San Gabriel Valley dealing with cervical disc conditions, nerve compression, facet joint degeneration, and persistent cervical pain. Our care is built around accurate diagnosis and minimally invasive interventional procedures designed to relieve pain and restore quality of life.
Neck pain can develop from the everyday demands of life in Alhambra, including long hours at a desk, repetitive work, driving, and age-related changes in the cervical spine. Over time, these factors can place continued stress on the muscles, discs, joints, and nerves in the neck.
For some patients, treatments such as medication, massage, or chiropractic care provide only temporary relief because the underlying source of pain has not been identified. A herniated disc, irritated nerve, facet joint problem, or muscle tension can produce similar symptoms but may require very different treatment approaches.
How We Approach Your Care:At our Alhambra clinic, we focus on identifying the specific source of your neck pain before recommending treatment. We consider your symptoms, medical history, physical examination, and available imaging to develop a targeted plan that fits your condition and goals.
Our interventional physicians evaluate and treat the full range of cervical spine and neck conditions affecting Alhambra and San Gabriel Valley patients, including:
If you have been receiving general treatment for neck pain without lasting improvement, or if you have been told that surgery is your primary option, a comprehensive evaluation at our Alhambra clinic can help determine whether a more targeted nonsurgical approach may be appropriate for your condition.

Disc pain may worsen with certain neck movements and can radiate into the arm. Nerve irritation may cause numbness, tingling, or weakness, while muscle pain is often more localized. A physical exam and imaging can help identify the specific source.
Cervical injections are generally safe when performed by an experienced physician using real-time imaging guidance. Imaging helps the physician visualize needle placement and avoid nearby critical structures. Your physician will review the potential risks before treatment.
A cervical epidural injection targets inflammation around an irritated nerve root, often for pain that travels into the arm. A medial branch block targets nerves associated with painful facet joints and can help determine if radiofrequency ablation may be appropriate. The right procedure depends on the source of your pain.
Neck surgery is not always the only treatment option. Some patients with disc, facet, or nerve-related conditions may improve with non-surgical treatments such as injections and rehabilitation. We evaluate your condition and provide honest guidance on whether conservative care or surgical referral is appropriate.

Treated for cervical degenerative disc disease and facet joint pain
"I had been living with a stiff, aching neck for so long I forgot what it felt like to turn my head without thinking about it. My primary doctor kept prescribing muscle relaxers that only helped for a day or two. Here, they actually figured out it was my facet joints, not just muscle tension, and the radiofrequency treatment gave me relief that has actually lasted. I can check my mirrors on Fremont again without turning my whole body."
Treated for cervical radiculopathy from a herniated disc
"I had numbness running down my arm into two fingers and a spine surgeon told me surgery was basically inevitable. I wanted to try something less invasive first. The epidural injection here, done under imaging, took the nerve pain away almost completely. It has been months and I'm still doing great. I'm glad I got a second opinion before committing to surgery."
Treated for whiplash following a car accident near the 10 Freeway
"After my accident I had constant neck pain and headaches that started right at the base of my skull. The team here diagnosed it as a combination of whiplash and occipital nerve irritation, which finally explained the headaches too. Between the injections and the guided therapy, I got my life back faster than I expected, and they handled all the documentation for my claim without me having to chase anyone down."
Most cervical spine conditions are treatable when the source of the pain is correctly identified and addressed with precision. Our Alhambra neck pain specialists bring the diagnostic depth and the technical standard required to identify that source and deliver care that produces results where general treatment has not.
