A Nationally Recognized Shoulder Pain Dr. Explains Common Shoulder Joint Problems

Sunday football is a great excuse to meet up with your friends and gorge on junk food for the day. Sure, rooting for your favorite team is fun, but diving into every dip, chip, and wing makes your taste buds so happy. You’ve decided to make your well-loved chicken wing dip, which combines the best parts of Buffalo’s famous finger food into a scoopable treat. To get the right consistency, you need to break out the heavy-duty mixer from the top shelf of your pantry. As you reach above your head to grab the large mixer, you feel intense right shoulder pain. Not wanting to drop this expensive equipment, you call your partner over for some assistance. You’ve noticed that your shoulder pain is increasing in frequency, and decide that first thing Monday morning you’re going to look for a shoulder pain doctor.

With several locations in northern NJ and NYC, Pain Treatment Specialists is the top choice for shoulder pain treatments in your area. When you check out their website, it’s clear that their focus involves minimally invasive treatments for shoulder pain. That’s exactly the kind of care you’re looking for, since surgery isn’t something you wanted to explore. Your busy life needs pain treatments that are not only effective, but also require little downtime for recovery. This is why you book an appointment for next week with the hopes that in just a few Sundays, you’ll be free from your shoulder pain and instability.

Who is the Best Shoulder Pain Dr. in My Area?

If you’re unsure about which doctor to see for neck and shoulder pain, look for an interventional pain doctor. This type of doctor uses different treatments than an orthopedic doctor shoulder specialist. An orthopedic specialist doctor for shoulder pain focuses on using surgery to repair shoulder injuries and remediate shoulder pain. However, most cases of left shoulder pain and right shoulder pain are easily treated with more conservative options. This is why Pain Treatment Specialists are the best option for minimally invasive shoulder pain treatments.

One of the top shoulder pain doctors at our pain clinics is Dr. Laura Lombardi. She is a former Division 1 athlete who understands how chronic pain affects not only your daily life, but also your activity levels. Dr. Lombardi fellowship-trained at Harvard University in interventional pain medicine, and is a regular contributor to national medical journals and textbooks. Her specialty is fluoroscopic-guided pain treatments, which use a special x-ray to deliver pain medicine to a precise location. Her 5-star patient reviews mention that she is knowledgeable, friendly, and listens carefully to your shoulder pain concerns.

Dr. Shanve Volney is another member of Pain Treatment Specialists’ nationally recognized team. He completed a fellowship in palliative medicine at Harvard University, where he later became a Clinical Instructor of anesthesiology and pain medicine. Dr. Volney’s patient reviews state that he is a “compassionate professional” who provides “clear explanations” that make patients feel “comfortable and confident with the treatment.”

Dr. Lombardi and Dr. Volney look forward to welcoming you to their pain clinics in NYC and northern NJ. Schedule an appointment at Pain Treatment Specialists and meet with a caring and knowledgeable team of interventional pain doctors.

Bursitis is a common shoulder pain condition that involves inflammation and swelling of the small, fluid-filled sacs called bursae. The sacs provide cushioning between bones and the overlying soft tissues. They help reduce friction between muscles and the bone. When they are inflamed due to overuse, it becomes difficult to lift your arm over your head. Perhaps this was the reason why you were unable to grab the mixer from the top shelf!

Can I Treat My Shoulder Pain At Home?

Over-the-counter medicines provide anti-inflammatory relief for shoulder pain. Follow the dosing instructions on the package and do not exceed the daily limit. You can treat shoulder instability by wrapping your shoulder with an athletic bandage or putting your arm in a sling. This helps keep your arm immobile so your shoulder can rest. Icing your shoulder in 20-minute intervals also provides relief from pain and swelling. If you’re experiencing painful shoulder sensations along with intense chest pressure, this may be a warning sign of a heart attack. Seek immediate medical attention for these symptoms.
