Shoulder Pain
Symptoms of Shoulder Pain:
Common signs and symptoms of shoulder pain may include:
Persistent aching or soreness
Sharp, stabbing discomfort
Muscle stiffness and tightness
Restricted range of motion
Radiating pain, often spreading to the arm or neck
Shoulder weakness
Pain aggravated by lifting or arm movement
Causes of Shoulder Pain:
Shoulder pain can stem from several underlying issues, including:
Rotator cuff injuries
Damage to the tendons and muscles surrounding the shoulder joint can cause pain and limit movement.
Frozen shoulder
Also known as adhesive capsulitis, this condition results in stiffness and restricted motion.
Tendonitis
Inflammation of the tendons, often due to overuse or injury, can lead to shoulder pain.
Arthritis
Various forms of arthritis can affect the shoulder joint, leading to pain and stiffness.
Bursitis
Inflammation of the bursae, small sacs that cushion the shoulder joint, can result in localized pain.
Nerve compression
Conditions like cervical radiculopathy can lead to nerve-related shoulder pain.
Solutions for Shoulder Pain:
At NYPMG, our primary focus is on minimally-invasive treatments for shoulder pain and other pain conditions. Our advanced treatment options include:
Minimally-invasive procedures
Minimally-invasive procedures provide relief by addressing issues like rotator cuff injuries or arthritis without the need for invasive surgery. They can target the specific underlying cause of your pain using small incisions, reducing recovery times and complications.
Joint injections
By delivering medication directly to the affected joint, injections can reduce inflammation, provide lubrication, and alleviate pain in the shoulder. Joint injections are particularly effective in cases of arthritis or inflamed shoulder joints, promoting greater comfort and flexibility.
Nerve blocks
Nerve blocks are interventions designed to interrupt pain signals responsible for your shoulder discomfort. These blocks can be targeted to specific nerves in the shoulder area, offering a direct and localized approach to managing pain.
Regenerative therapy
This treatment harnesses the body's natural healing processes to address shoulder pain. By promoting tissue regeneration, regenerative therapy can effectively alleviate conditions like rotator cuff injuries or tendonitis. This treatment encourages the body to repair and heal itself, offering a lasting solution for shoulder pain.
