'Healthsmart TV' show to focus on neck pain

During this month, Dr. Alfred H. Grimes of Pinnacle Pain Medicine in Carson City will join Dr. Lyons, host of "HealthSmart TV" to dispel false beliefs about neck pain.

Grimes' focus is on the treatment of conditions affecting muscles, bones, ligaments and tendons. Neck pain can originate in ligaments or discs and effect people either occasionally or chronically. In most cases, surgery is not the best option.

HealthSmart TV can be viewed on Carson Access Cable channel 10 in Carson City and Dayton at 8:30 p.m. on Tuesdays and Channel 26 in the Carson Valley at 8 p.m.
