Yes both pain medications and/or injections can help with neck pain. The first step is to determine the cause of the pain and then work on a treatment plan.

I have seen local topicals do great things for patients with neck pain in addition to OTC pain medications.
Hello, I am sorry to hear about your neck pain. There are different reasons/causes for neck pain, and depending on that, the treatment options (which are numerous) might be different. Ideally, we recommend an in-person evaluation during which you should be examined, and based on the specific symptoms, and examination findings the treatment should be selected. If you would like, you may schedule an evaluation at our Clinic: www.synergyheadache.com.
