Neck Pain & Cervical Radiculopathy in Dallas–Fort Worth
(Frisco • Allen • North Dallas)
Serving patients from Frisco, Allen, North Dallas, Mesquite & Arlington—just minutes from Plano, Richardson, and McKinney.
Overview
Hunched screens, whiplash, and age-related disc wear make neck pain one of the five most common musculoskeletal complaints worldwide. When a bulging cervical disc or bone spur compresses a nerve root, pain can shoot down the arm—a condition called cervical radiculopathy. Traditional care relies on pills and rest; our biologic program targets the source, speeds healing, and often avoids fusion surgery.
Why Necks Hurt (Top Causes)
Most daily or radiating neck pain boils down to a few repeat offenders:
Bulging or herniated discs
soft disc material presses on a nerve root.
Bone spurs & foraminal stenosis
arthritic overgrowth narrows the nerve exit hole.
“Tech-neck” muscle strain
hours of screen hunch stretch the back-of-neck muscles.
Facet-joint arthritis
worn cartilage lets the joints grind and inflame nearby nerves.
Whiplash scars
old sprains leave stiff ligaments and angry trigger points.
Typical Diagnoses
Postural / Soft-Tissue
Muscle strain (“tech-neck”)
Facet arthropathy
Whiplash injury
Structural
Cervical disc herniation
Foraminal stenosis
Degenerative spondylosis
Biologic Treatment Pathway
Step 1
PRP Facet & Periradicular (Week 0)
Leukocyte-poor PRP is placed with live C-arm guidance around painful facet capsules and along the irritated nerve root, calming inflammation and promoting collagen repair.
Step 2
MSC Disc Restoration (Week 4)
Your own marrow-derived stem cells are injected into the dehydrated or torn disc nucleus to re-hydrate tissue and reduce Modic bone-marrow edema.
Step 3
PRP Booster (Week 12)
A final PRP dose sustains growth-factor levels, supporting continued remodeling.
Biologic PRP & Stem-Cell Injections vs Epidural Steroid Shots / Fusion Surgery
Biologic PRP / MSC
Primary goal
Heal the disc, calm the nerve, rebuild healthy tissue
How it’s done
45-minute outpatient injection under live X-ray or ultrasound
Pain-relief curve
Builds steadily over 4-6 weeks; many patients stay better 12 months or longer
Downtime
Desk work next day; no cervical collar
Risks
Extremely low—your own cells; infection < 0.1 %
Best fit for
Bulging disc, postural pain, early arthritis, patients keen to avoid hardware
Steroid Shot or Fusion Surgery
Primary goal
Reduce or mask inflammation / remove damaged disc segment
How it’s done
Steroid: 10-min clinic shot • Fusion: 2-hr OR procedure under general anesthesia
Pain-relief curve
Steroid: fast relief (days) but often fades in 3–6 months • Fusion: instant decompression, but surgical pain lingers 4–6 weeks
Downtime
Steroid: none • Fusion: neck brace 6–12 weeks, formal PT 3–4 months
Risks
Steroid bone loss, sugar spikes • Fusion hardware failure, adjacent-level wear
Best fit for
Progressive weakness, spinal instability, pain that failed biologic care
