Neck Pain Treatment from Orthopedic Physicians in Tampa, FL

Neck Pain Tampa FLDon’t allow neck pain to hold you back from living life to the fullest. Tampa Orthopaedic & Sports Medicine Group (a division of Florida Medical Clinic) offers relief for adults who suffer from neck discomfort and stiffness. Our practice in Tampa, Florida, is led by two board certified physicians – orthopedic specialist Dr. Daniel Murphy and sports medicine specialist Dr. Arnold Ramirez. When they’re not busy treating our patients, these physicians are trusted to care for our area’s finest athletes; Dr. Murphy is a team physician for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New York Yankees, and Dr. Ramirez is the Head Team Physician for the Buccaneers.

Neck pain can stem from a variety of factors, like toting a heavy bag, poor posture, osteoarthritis, or a disc injury in the cervical spine. Many cases of neck discomfort can be successfully treated at home with gentle stretching exercises, rest, and heat/ice therapy, but it’s important to seek treatment from a physician if your pain:

  • Persists after a few weeks of home treatment
  • Worsens despite home treatment
  • Is accompanied by tingling sensations, numbness, or headaches
  • Travels down your legs or arms

At Tampa Orthopaedic & Sports Medicine Group, Dr. Murphy and Dr. Ramirez take a conservative approach to neck pain treatment that focuses on relieving discomfort and restoring mobility with non-surgical treatments, such as physical therapy and steroid injections. In the event that surgery presents the best chance at relieving your pain, orthopedic surgeon Dr. Murphy will carefully explain your options and help you make a confident decision about your care.
