Meet with a Top Shoulder Pain Treatment Dr. for Shoulder Instability

It’s been a while since you’ve set foot on a tennis court, so when your friend suggests an afternoon match you’re up for the challenge. You’re a little rusty in the beginning, but soon find a familiar rhythm. After a few rounds, you both decide that you’ve earned a nice lunch reward. Your friend is rambling on about the delicious menu, but you can’t stop holding your shoulder and thinking about how much it hurts. This shoulder pain is unusual for you, and you chalk it up to the repetitive swinging and serving you just completed. However, it also keeps you up that evening and makes you unable to lay in your normal sleeping position.

When is it time to meet with a shoulder pain treatment doctor? If your shoulder pain lasts longer than a few days, it’s best to meet with a shoulder specialist who can identify the source of your pain, and provide effective relief. At Pain Treatment Specialists, our team of pain management doctors use minimally invasive treatment plans for shoulder pain, and also thoroughly explain your shoulder pain diagnosis. Shoulder pain occurs for a variety of reasons including overuse, muscle strain, rotator cuff problems, or a rotator cuff tear. Not wanting to endure another terrible night’s sleep, you schedule an appointment at Pain Treatment Specialists to find some relief from your shoulder pain.

What Happens During an Appointment with a Shoulder Pain Treatment Dr.?

You’ve never met with a shoulder pain treatment doctor before, and are unsure what the process entails. When you first contact Pain Treatment Specialists, you’re paired with a personal concierge. This person verifies your insurance information, and also helps schedule a convenient appointment that works around your busy schedule. While you’re on the phone, you ask your concierge what to expect during your first appointment.

Your concierge assures you that the appointment is nothing to be nervous about, and walks you through what the day looks like. First, you’ll check in with the front-end staff, who make sure that your wait time is minimal. You’ll quickly be escorted back to the private consultation area, where you’ll meet with either Dr. Lombardi, Dr. Hanna, Dr. Deygoo, or Dr. Volney, who are all highly-rated shoulder pain doctors. Your pain doctor asks about your recent activities, falls, or injuries that might have contributed to your shoulder pain, and then completes a gentle physical examination. If needed, additional imaging procedures are ordered, and then your shoulder specialist determines the cause of your shoulder pain. This is followed by a customized treatment plan to address your shoulder pain. You’ll be able to ask as many questions as you’d like during your appointment, and won’t feel rushed during your time. The concierge says that this is when you’ll reconnect, as they’ll help you schedule the first shoulder pain treatment.

You’re excited to feel relief from your shoulder pain, and also comforted by the explanation of the process. Pain Treatment Specialists’ entire team is dedicated to improving patients’ quality of life.

Steroid injections are one of the most conservative treatments used for shoulder pain. During this procedure, your shoulder pain doctor draws a corticosteroid into a syringe and injects it into the area of inflammation. Corticosteroids are very effective at reducing pain and swelling, and this injection is often used in conjunction with physical therapy for pain relief.

Viscosupplementation refreshes your shoulder’s supply of hyaluronic acid, which gives joint fluid its viscous quality. This joint fluid is often lost as a result of wear and tear, or underlying issues such as viscosupplementation.

Your shoulder pain treatment doctor customizes a treatment plan that works for your shoulder pain condition. Schedule an appointment at Pain Treatment Specialists and begin feeling relief from shoulder pain.

What are Common Shoulder Joint Issues?

Rotator cuff problems such as a rotator cuff tear is a common shoulder injury. Your rotator cuff muscles provide stability, and also allow your shoulder to move with a wide range of motion. When there is a partial, acute, or chronic tear, you’ll have difficulty lifting your arm. This problem occurs when trying to lift heavy objects, or is also a result of normal wear and tear associated with aging.

Rotator cuff tendonitis affects your rotator cuff tendons, and is often caused by overuse or repetitive motions. This condition is commonly known as tennis shoulder or swimmer’s shoulder, since these sports involve repetitive lifting and swinging motions.

Shoulder osteoarthritis affects the cartilage covering the ends of the bones where they meet to form a joint. Cartilage helps absorb shocks, and also allows smooth movements between bones. Osteoarthritis manifests as shoulder joint stiffness and soreness.  

No matter the cause of your shoulder pain, Pain Treatment Specialists has a minimally invasive shoulder pain treatment that provides long-lasting pain relief. Book an appointment and receive the highest quality care at their pain clinics in NYC and northern NJ.
