If you’re dealing with numbness and tingling caused by carpal tunnel syndrome or cervical radiculopathy, or experiencing swelling and inflammation due to trauma or work-related overuse injuries, consider consulting interventional pain management specialists, who take a multimodal approach to manage both acute and chronic arm pain effectively while promoting healing, preventing recurrence, and restoring function.
If you're looking for an arm pain doctor nearby, you can follow these steps:
The team of board-certified interventional pain management specialists at Pain Physicians NY is composed of experienced, highly skilled physicians dedicated to providing effective, patient-centered pain relief. These specialists are experts in diagnosing and treating a wide range of acute and chronic pain conditions, including fractures, dislocations, tendinopathy, and arthritis. To effectively treat arm pain, our physicians use a combination of cutting-edge, minimally invasive techniques such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, nerve blocks, and corticosteroid injections. These procedures are designed to address the underlying causes of pain while minimizing the need for surgery and promoting faster recovery.
The arm muscles are among the most commonly used muscles in the body, allowing us to do most activities. All these actions are facilitated by the shoulder muscles, across where the sensory and motor nerves from the neck pass. It would make sense, therefore, that a problem affecting the shoulder would subsequently affect the arm and hands, and it does.
There are various causes for shoulder pain that eventually lead to arm and hand pain, including:
The Cervical Radiculopathy is when the discs surrounding the cervical vertebrae in the neck become worn off, the vertebrae eventually lie awkwardly on top of one another. Suppose one of these vertebrae sat on a nerve that supplies sensation to the shoulder and arms, then this would cause pain to radiate along the entire arm from the shoulder to the hand.
The Rotator Cuff is a set of muscles and ligaments that provide support to the shoulder and keep it attached to the shoulder blade. This kind of injury is often due to direct trauma on this region that causes pain primarily in the shoulder that may extend down to the arms and hands. Besides trauma, chronic overuse of the muscle as well as aging can cause the rotator cuff to become damaged and become painful.
Sometimes a heart attack may present with severe pain radiating from the chest and spreading to the arm, often on the left side. It is not known why this happens, but a sudden pain on the left arm and hand can be a sign of a heart attack.
This happens when the joint is completely removed from its intended location, often the result of direct trauma. The shoulder joint is a ball and socket joint where the humeral head of the arm bone fits into a hollow scapula (the shoulder blade). The joint is further strengthened by muscles, tendons, and ligaments to keep the bones in positions and at the same time allow for movement in many directions. For example:
Certain accidents, such as a direct fall as a result of sports injury, work injury on one hand at an angle may remove the humeral head from the scapula, preventing the arm from movement. This event is always followed by intense radiating pain from the shoulder down to the arm and hands due to the pressing of the bone to the nerves. Dislocations can be solved by manually pushing the joint back into place and resting the joint.
Between the humeral head of the arm and the shoulder blade is a sac of fluid called the bursa which provides lubrication and allowing the arm to move freely. This sac can become inflamed due to an injury or infection, causing difficulty moving the arm and sending pain radiating down to the hand when you try to do so. This inflammation often goes away on its own as the inflammation subsides, but sometimes it may require medication and even surgery if it is extremely infected. Ex:
This refers to a class of disorders that affect the joints of the body and may lead to pain in the affected joint. Some types of arthritis include:
