What Causes Neck Pain?
For many adults, chronic neck pain is a disruptive reality, affecting their ability to work and enjoy daily activities. If you're among those grappling with persistent neck discomfort, Dr. Bruce Fishman, our esteemed orthopedic surgery and cellular therapy expert, offers solutions. Alongside his dedicated team, Dr. Fishman employs advanced cellular and acellular injections to target damaged tissues, fostering biological healing and relieving neck pain. Sprains and strains are the primary culprits behind neck pain, often resulting from the strains imposed by routine activities on ligaments and muscles. Additionally, traumatic incidents like sports injuries or car accidents frequently lead to neck discomfort. Sprains and strains are the primary culprits behind neck pain, often resulting from the strains imposed by routine activities on ligaments and muscles. Additionally, traumatic incidents like sports injuries or car accidents frequently lead to neck discomfort.
Moreover, advancing age can introduce neck pain through degenerative conditions such as:
Reason #1
Herniated Discs
With advancing age, the intervertebral discs in the neck may undergo wear and tear, leading to herniated discs. These discs, which act as cushions between the vertebrae, can bulge or rupture, causing pressure on nearby nerves. This pressure can result in neck pain, as well as symptoms such as arm pain, numbness, or weakness.
Reason #2
Facet Joint Arthritis
Facet joints in the neck can become arthritic over time due to wear and tear. Arthritis in these joints can lead to inflammation, stiffness, and pain in the neck. The facet joints play a crucial role in providing stability and allowing movement in the neck, so arthritis in these joints can significantly impact neck function.
Reason #3
Bone Spurs
Also known as osteophytes, bone spurs can develop on the edges of the vertebrae in the neck as a result of degeneration. These bony growths can protrude into the spinal canal or nerve roots, causing pain and discomfort. Bone spurs may also contribute to spinal stenosis, a condition characterized by narrowing of the spinal canal.
Reason #4
Thickened Ligaments
Over time, the ligaments that support the vertebrae in the neck may become thicker and less flexible. This thickening can contribute to stiffness and reduced mobility in the neck. Additionally, thickened ligaments can compress nearby structures, leading to pain and discomfort.
Reason #5
Spinal Stenosis
Spinal stenosis refers to the narrowing of the spinal canal, which can occur due to various degenerative changes in the spine, including herniated discs, bone spurs, and thickened ligaments. This narrowing can put pressure on the spinal cord and nerves, resulting in neck pain, as well as symptoms such as tingling, numbness, or weakness in the arms and hands.
Reason #6
Degenerative Disc Disease
Degenerative disc disease involves the gradual breakdown of the intervertebral discs in the neck. As these discs degenerate, they lose their ability to absorb shock and provide cushioning between the vertebrae. This can lead to neck pain, stiffness, and reduced flexibility. Additionally, degenerative changes in the discs can contribute to other conditions such as herniated discs and spinal stenosis.
While sprains and strains cause pain due to damaged soft tissues and inflammation, degenerative ailments may exert pressure on nerves, leading to cervical radiculopathy—a common source of discomfort.

Our Comprehensive Cellular Therapy Process for Neck Pain Relief
Discover how our dedicated team provides a holistic approach to relieving neck pain through our comprehensive cellular therapy process. Each step is meticulously designed to address your needs and promote optimal recovery.
- STEP 1
Initial Consultation and Evaluation
Your journey into biocellular therapy begins with an initial consultation with Dr. Bruce Fishman and Dr. Stem Cell. During this crucial meeting, Dr. Fishman will conduct a thorough examination, including X-rays and potentially additional imaging, such as MRI or CT scans, to pinpoint the source of your pain. This comprehensive evaluation helps determine if you’re a suitable candidate for cellular treatment.
- STEP 2
Preparatory Treatment
Upon approval for cellular biologic therapy, you’ll undergo a preparatory process to optimize your body’s response to the treatment. Two days before your scheduled procedure, you’ll receive a unique IV infusion treatment containing essential vitamins, peptides, and proteins. This infusion enhances cellular function and prepares your body for the upcoming therapy.
- STEP 3
Cellular Biologic Injection Procedure
Dr. Fishman will perform the cellular biologic injection procedure using advanced techniques such as fluoroscopic or ultrasound guidance to target the damaged tissues causing your pain precisely. Depending on your condition, cells may be combined with other biologics, such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) derived from a sample of your own blood, to accelerate healing and promote tissue repair. Following the procedure, you’ll undergo a second session of Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment to enhance the healing process.
