Neck Pain Treatment in Greenville, SC

Neck Pain Treatment at IHP Greenville — expert acupuncture for chronic pain and musculoskeletal issues. Dr. Hendry, DAOM. Call (864) 365-6156.

Neck pain is the fourth leading cause of disability globally and one of the most common presentations at Integrative Health Partners in Greenville, SC. Dr. Hendry's neck pain treatment program addresses both the acute mechanical factors (muscle tightness, joint restriction, disc irritation) and the chronic patterns (postural dysfunction, neural sensitization, emotional tension) that perpetuate cervical pain. His combination of acupuncture, dry needling, and functional medicine is uniquely comprehensive for neck pain of all types.

How Neck Pain Treatment Works

Neck pain treatment combines acupuncture at cervical Bladder, Gallbladder, and Governing Vessel points with trigger point dry needling of the upper trapezius, levator scapulae, SCM, scalenes, and suboccipital muscles. Joint restrictions may also be addressed through point selection on the cervical Huatuojiaji points. Electroacupuncture is added for neuropathic components (cervical radiculopathy, numbness into arms and hands).

Your First Appointment

Bring any cervical MRI or X-ray reports. Describe your pain, stiffness, and any radiation into the shoulders, arms, or hands. History of whiplash, cervical disc disease, prior surgery, or chiropractic care is all relevant.

Why Dr. Hendry for Neck Pain Treatment

Dr. Hendry's 25 years of cervical spine treatment experience includes whiplash injuries, disc herniations, degenerative disc disease, and post-surgical neck pain. His trigger point expertise is particularly valuable for the complex cervical muscle patterns that drive most neck pain.
