​

Understanding Arm Pain in NYC

Arm pain can result from a range of underlying issues, including nerve compression, trauma, and musculoskeletal conditions. Often, pain in the arm is linked to problems in the cervical spine, as the nerves that branch into the arm start in the neck. Our team in NYC conducts thorough evaluations to determine the origin of your pain and crafts a customized treatment plan to achieve lasting relief.

 

When to See a Doctor

If your arm pain persists for more than a few days or worsens despite rest and self-care, it may be time to seek professional help. Consider seeing a doctor if your pain is accompanied by symptoms such as numbness, tingling, weakness, or a reduced range of motion, as these may signal nerve or musculoskeletal issues that require intervention. 

Arm pain resulting from an injury, accident, or conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, whiplash, or cervical spinal issues should also be evaluated by a specialist. Early diagnosis and treatment at Manhattan Restorative Health Sciences can prevent further complications, allowing you to regain full function and relief from discomfort.

 

Common Conditions Causing Arm Pain Treated in NYC

At Manhattan Restorative Health Sciences, we treat a variety of conditions that lead to arm pain, including:​

 

• Herniated Discs (Cervical) – A herniated disc in the neck can press on nerves that extend into the arm, causing pain, tingling, or numbness.

• Work Injuries and Car Accidents – Trauma from injuries or accidents can lead to arm pain by affecting the neck, shoulder, or specific arm muscles and nerves.

• Arthritis of the Cervical Spine – Degenerative arthritis in the neck may compress nerves, leading to radiating arm pain, stiffness, and weakness.

• Cervical Spinal Stenosis – This narrowing of the spinal canal in the neck region can compress nerves that affect the arm, causing pain, weakness, and tingling.

• Arm Pain – Direct pain in the arm can stem from various causes, such as overuse, nerve compression, or trauma.

• Radiculopathy (Cervical) – When nerves in the cervical spine are compressed or irritated, it can lead to radiculopathy, with pain radiating down the shoulder and arm.

• Whiplash – Sudden forceful neck movement, often from car accidents, can strain muscles and nerves, leading to pain that radiates into the arm.

• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome – Compression of the median nerve in the wrist, causing pain, tingling, and numbness that can extend up the arm.

Comprehensive Arm Pain Treatments in NYC

Our approach to arm pain treatment in New York City involves a range of non-surgical options aimed at relieving pain and restoring function. After a thorough evaluation, our specialists will develop a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs, which may include:

 

Conservative Treatments for Arm Pain​

 

• Physical Therapy – Customized exercises to strengthen the neck, shoulder, and arm muscles, improve posture, and enhance mobility to relieve pain and reduce strain on the nerves.

• Lifestyle Modifications – Simple changes, like improving ergonomics, managing daily activities, and incorporating gentle stretches, can help alleviate arm pain and prevent recurrence.

 

Minimally Invasive Interventional Procedures

Our interventional procedures provide targeted relief by addressing the root causes of arm pain:​

 

• Cervical Epidural Steroid Injections – Anti-inflammatory injections in the cervical spine reduce nerve inflammation, offering relief for conditions like herniated discs and cervical stenosis that cause radiating arm pain.

• Cervical Facet Blocks – Reduces inflammation in the facet joints of the cervical spine, which can alleviate referred pain to the shoulder and arm.

• Nerve Root Blocks – Targeting specific nerve roots in the cervical spine, these injections help alleviate pain that travels down the arm, particularly effective for radiculopathy.

• Stellate Ganglion Blocks – Helps manage nerve pain radiating from the cervical spine to the arms by targeting the sympathetic nerves in the neck.

• Percutaneous Discectomy (Cervical) – A minimally invasive procedure that removes herniated disc material pressing on nerves, relieving arm pain associated with nerve compression.

• Occipital Nerve Blocks – Reduces pain from occipital neuralgia, which can contribute to tension and referred pain from the neck to the arms.

 

Advanced Pain Management Solutions: Pumps & Stimulators​

 

• Spinal Cord Stimulators – A device implanted along the spinal cord to block pain signals, offering relief for chronic arm pain that stems from nerve issues in the cervical spine.

• Peripheral Nerve Stimulators – Targeting specific nerves, these devices help manage chronic pain in the arm by blocking pain signals from irritated nerves.

​

Regenerative Treatments for Arm Health

​

• Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy – PRP uses growth factors from your own blood to promote tissue repair and reduce inflammation in damaged areas, offering relief for chronic pain and supporting recovery from nerve injuries.

• Stem Cell Therapy – Stem cell injections promote the natural healing of damaged tissues, supporting nerve health and reducing chronic arm pain.
