Shoulder pain, also known as cervical pain, is a common medical condition that can arise from a variety of causes such as
Medical Management: Pain medications are initially given to provide relief from mild pain. Physical Therapy: This is the most common and traditional way of treating patients with neck pain due to spine inflammation. Steroid Injections: Corticosteroid medications or numbing medicines are injected near the nerve roots to relieve neck pain. Surgical Treatment: In case the pain continues for a longer period and is getting worse with time, then your doctor may suggest you to undergo surgery. A herniated disc, bone spurs or spinal cord compression is treated by minimally invasive spine surgery which requires hospitalization for few days. Alternative Therapies: Like chiropractic manipulation for the cervical spine, acupuncture, CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and relaxation techniques also help in reducing pain, improving motion and reinstating normal function of the head and neck region.
