The 3 Most Common Cervical Spine Issues – And Why Pills, Injections, and Surgery Aren’t the Answer in Irving TX

By Dr. Jason Black, Founder of Ethos Medical Group | Irving, TX

Neck pain. Headaches. Numbness or tingling into the arms and hands.

These are the three most common complaints we hear from patients suffering with cervical spine dysfunction. And while they’re incredibly common, they’re also commonly misunderstood and mistreated. Contact our Irving TX chiropractic clinic today to learn more.

The Big Mistake: Treating Symptoms Instead of the Root Cause

Most people begin their health journey in the conventional system — often walking away with:

• A prescription
• A referral for injections
• Or in more severe cases, a surgical consultation

But here’s the truth:

Cervical spine issues are almost never fixed with a pill, an injection, or a scalpel.

These options only treat the symptoms, and often come with long-term side effects, high costs, and disappointing results.

Cervical Dysfunction Is a Whole-Body Issue

When the top of your spine — your cervical region — becomes misaligned or restricted, the ripple effects can be serious:

• Chronic Neck Pain from joint, disc, or ligament damage
• Tension or Cervicogenic Headaches caused by nerve interference and poor blood flow
• Radiating Pain, Tingling, or Numbness into the shoulder, arm, or hand from nerve compression

Over time, this leads to:

• Reduced productivity
• Poor sleep
• Loss of mobility
• Mood issues and fatigue
  Dependency on medications

At Ethos Medical Group, we believe you deserve more than temporary relief. You deserve to understand what’s really going on — and get a care plan that actually helps your body heal.

Our Approach: Diagnose the Cause. Deliver Lasting Relief.

Every patient at Ethos Medical Group receives a comprehensive evaluation, including:

• Posture and movement analysis
• Digital spinal X-rays
• Neurological and orthopedic testing
• Functional strength and range-of-motion assessment

This deep diagnostic process allows us to uncover the actual source of your symptoms — not just where it hurts.

From there, we create a personalized, multi-disciplinary plan that may include:

• Gentle Chiropractic Adjustments to restore spinal alignment
• Physical Therapy & Corrective Exercise to rebuild strength and mobility
• Medical Laser & Shockwave Therapy to accelerate healing and reduce inflammation
• Non-surgical Disc Decompression for disc-related issues
• At-home rehab tools so you stay on track between visits

Everything we do is focused on restoring function so your body can heal the way it was designed to — without medications or surgery.
