Shoulder pain can make everyday tasks challenging, limit your range of motion, and impact your quality of life. At Manhattan Restorative Health Sciences in New York City, we specialize in treating shoulder pain with innovative, non-surgical therapies customized for each individual. Our approach combines targeted pain management, minimally invasive procedures, and regenerative treatments to address shoulder pain at its source, helping you regain strength, mobility, and comfort.

​

Understanding Shoulder Pain in NYC

 

The shoulder is a complex joint with a wide range of motion, making it susceptible to various conditions that can cause pain and restrict movement. Shoulder pain can result from issues in the cervical spine, as nerves that impact the shoulder originate in the neck. Our NYC-based team conducts detailed evaluations to determine the cause of your shoulder pain and crafts a personalized treatment plan to provide effective, lasting relief.

​

When to See a Doctor

 

Shoulder pain that doesn’t resolve on its own or interferes with your day-to-day activities may require medical evaluation. You should see a doctor if you experience any of the following:

​

• Persistent Pain: Shoulder pain that lasts more than a few weeks or continues despite rest and over-the-counter treatments.

• Limited Mobility: Difficulty moving your shoulder or arm, which can interfere with daily tasks.

• Numbness or Tingling: Any sensation of numbness or tingling in the shoulder, arm, or hand, which may indicate nerve involvement.

• Swelling or Redness: Signs of inflammation, including visible swelling, redness, or warmth around the shoulder joint.

• Pain Radiating from the Neck: Pain that originates in the neck and radiates down to the shoulder, which could be related to cervical spine issues.

Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent worsening symptoms and help you regain mobility and comfort.

​

Common Shoulder Pain Conditions Treated in NYC

 

At Manhattan Restorative Health Sciences, we treat a range of conditions that lead to shoulder pain, including:

​

• Herniated Discs (Cervical) – When a disc herniates in the neck, it can press on nerves that extend to the shoulder, causing pain, numbness, or tingling.

• Tech Neck – This modern condition, often caused by extended device use, can strain the neck and shoulder muscles, leading to discomfort and stiffness in the shoulder area.

• Work Injuries and Car Accidents – Trauma or sudden impact from accidents can cause shoulder pain, whether from direct injury to the shoulder or strain to the cervical spine and related structures.

• Arthritis of the Cervical Spine – Degeneration in the neck joints can compress nerves, causing pain that radiates down to the shoulder.

• Cervical Spinal Stenosis – A narrowing of the spinal canal in the neck can compress nerves, leading to pain, weakness, or numbness that extends into the shoulder.

• Frozen Shoulder – Characterized by stiffness and pain in the shoulder joint, frozen shoulder can severely limit mobility and cause persistent discomfort.

• Radiculopathy (Cervical) – Nerve compression in the cervical spine, or cervical radiculopathy, can cause pain that radiates from the neck to the shoulder and arm.

• Whiplash – Often resulting from a rapid back-and-forth neck motion, whiplash can cause strain in the shoulder muscles and ligaments, resulting in referred pain to the shoulder.

Comprehensive Shoulder Pain Treatments in NYC

 

Our non-surgical approach to shoulder pain in New York City includes a variety of advanced treatments aimed at pain relief and restoring function. Following a thorough evaluation, our specialists will create a treatment plan tailored to your unique needs, which may include:

​

Conservative Treatments for Shoulder Pain

​

• Physical Therapy – Strengthening exercises and stretching routines tailored to the neck, shoulder, and upper back help improve mobility, reduce pain, and prevent future injuries.

• Lifestyle Modifications – Ergonomic adjustments, posture improvements, and incorporating low-impact exercises can ease shoulder strain and provide long-term benefits.

​

Interventional Treatments for Shoulder Pain

 

Our specialized procedures target pain at its source, providing relief from shoulder pain through minimally invasive options:

​

• Cervical Epidural Steroid Injections – These injections reduce inflammation around nerves in the neck, alleviating shoulder pain due to herniated discs or spinal stenosis.

• Cervical Facet Blocks – By targeting inflammation in the cervical facet joints, these injections can relieve referred pain in the shoulder caused by arthritis or joint degeneration.

• Nerve Root Blocks – Targeting specific cervical nerve roots, these injections help manage pain that travels down from the neck to the shoulder, especially for radiculopathy.

• Stellate Ganglion Blocks – Focused on the sympathetic nerves, this procedure provides relief for nerve pain that radiates from the neck to the shoulder.

• Percutaneous Discectomy (Cervical) – A minimally invasive procedure that removes herniated disc material in the cervical spine, relieving nerve compression and shoulder pain.

​

Pumps & Stimulators for Shoulder Pain Relief

​

• Spinal Cord Stimulators – These devices are implanted to block pain signals along the spinal cord, providing relief for chronic shoulder pain due to cervical spine issues.

• Peripheral Nerve Stimulators – Used to target specific nerves, these stimulators help manage chronic shoulder pain by interrupting pain signals.

​

Regenerative Treatments for Shoulder Pain

​

• Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy – PRP uses natural growth factors from your own blood to promote healing in damaged shoulder tissues, reducing inflammation and improving function.

• Stem Cell Therapy – This regenerative therapy uses stem cells to support tissue repair and reduce pain, particularly beneficial for shoulder injuries or degeneration.
