Neck

As the premier orthopedic and neurosurgical providers for Vancouver, Portland, Lake Oswego, and the surrounding areas for over 50 years, Rebound Orthopedics & Neurosurgery offers exceptional neck care from our fellowship-trained and board-certified/eligible neck doctors so you can rebound.  

The neck, otherwise known as the cervical spine, supports the head and allows it to twist and turn. However, this can make the neck vulnerable to damage and pain. Neck pain is something most people will experience in their lifetime, and it should be assessed by a specialist, such as an orthopedic spine surgeon or neurosurgeon. These doctors have a deep understanding of the intricacies of the neck, accurately diagnosing patients and providing an individualized treatment plan to help eliminate pain.

When Is It Time to Consult a Neck Doctor?

Being able to communicate any of the symptoms you are experiencing will allow you to provide helpful information to your neck doctor. It can reveal to your doctor how severe your neck injury is or what neck condition you have. It is important to schedule an appointment with a neck doctor near you if you have any of the following symptoms:

  • Clicking or grinding sensations when moving your head side to side
  • Inability to nod or shake the head due to pain
  • Kinked or twisted neck
  • Muscle spasms or weakness
  • Neck pain that travels down to the shoulders and the arms
  • Persistent headaches
  • Swelling or bruising
  • Stiffness that results in a limited range of motion
  • Tingling or numbness in the arms or hands

If you are experiencing any of the above symptoms, it could mean that you have one of the following injuries, which can be treated by our neck specialists:

  • Alignment issues
  • Arthritis
  • Compressed or pinched nerves
  • Cervical kyphosis
  • Fractured vertebra
  • Neck sprain or strain
  • Ruptured or herniated disc
  • Spinal stenosis (cervical)
  • Spondylosis
  • Whiplash

Our specialists understand that a neck, back, or spine injury can have an impact on your lifestyle and keep you from living the life you love. To discuss your options, schedule a consultation with one of our neck doctors by calling 1-800-REBOUND or scheduling an appointment online. Our neck experts are available at our Vancouver, Rose Quarter, Salmon Creek, Camas, and Lake Oswego offices.

Our Neck Doctors

The Region's Most Preferred Neck, Back & Spine Care in Vancouver, Portland & Lake Oswego

At Rebound Orthopedics & Neurosurgery, our doctors and staff put patients first and are dedicated to providing compassionate, quality orthopedic care. As the region's most preferred orthopedic practice, we are proud to be the official sports medicine providers for the Portland Trail Blazers and continuously strive for excellence.

Our fellowship-trained and board-certified/eligible orthopedic doctors, neurosurgeons, and physiatrists, Dr. Wendy Chang, Dr. James Chesnutt, Dr. Jerod Cottrill, Dr. David Impastato, Dr. John Kafrouni, Dr. Deven Karvelas, Dr. Nicolas Karvelas, Dr. Hoang Le, Dr. Ashok Modha, Dr. Wael Musleh, Dr. Andrew Nemecek, Dr. Edward Olson, Dr. Brian Ragel, and Dr. George Shanno, have the skill and expertise to treat a wide variety of neck, back, and spinal injuries and conditions. Our neck doctors will always exhaust all conservative treatments before suggesting surgery; however, there are some situations in which neck surgery is the best option to help eliminate pain and restore proper function. If surgery is recommended, our surgeons have vast experience in performing many minimally invasive surgical procedures, including cervical kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty.

To help facilitate a full and rapid recovery, our doctors and surgeons take a team approach when it comes to patient-centered care, and they work in conjunction with our physical therapists and athletic trainers, who offer comprehensive physical therapy services. Our ultimate goal is to provide an effective rehabilitation plan that is focused on your individual needs to help you resume a pain-free lifestyle.
