    Should I Worry About Shoulder Pain?

    Shoulder pain affects the quality of your life by hindering your capacity to do normal daily tasks or even to do your work. With so much activity and flexibility in your shoulder, it’s a joint that’s prone to injuries and requires immediate pain treatment by an experienced doctor. Get help when your shoulder’s sore instead of worrying about it.

    Your shoulders allow a wide range of motion. Any condition or injury affecting any shoulder component can lead to incapacitating shoulder pain and problems with flexibility. If you experience right shoulder pain, left shoulder pain or another form of discomfort in your shoulder, consult a pain specialist for immediate diagnosis and treatment.

    Dr. Amr Hosny and the team of pain management specialists at New York Pain Care can deliver an early diagnosis of your shoulder pain. Located in Midtown Manhattan, the Financial District and Greenwich Village — as well as in Paramus, Riverdale, Englewood Cliffs, Cranford and East Brunswick, New Jersey — the paine clinic team offers treatment for a wide range of painful conditions.

    Very personable and patient staff. I've been going for about 2 months for shoulder pain and everybody at New York Pain Care has been a joy to work with as I get better. I've been through Physical Therapy once before in my life and I know it's a long and frustrating process. Here they make it easy by treating me like a friend. Definitely recommend!

    I have been a patient of NY Pain Care several times over the last few years. One time for back, another for shoulder, another for hip. The PT team is thorough and extremely knowledgeable and take every opportunity to ask as many clarifying questions necessary to really understand the patient's issues and find the right treatment options. I have responded well to the treatments given and recommend PT and this facility often.

    I was treated by Dr. David Chu for pain in my right shoulder and left hip. He was incredibly professional and had a wonderful bedside manner. Dr. Chu took as much time as needed to answer all of my questions and to diagnose my issue. The staff at NY Paincare are extremely courteous and efficient. I was grateful not to have to wait more than 10 minutes to see the doctor. It was a pleasure visiting this practice and I would highly recommend NY Paincare to any of my friends and family.

    After years of bar tending in one of the busiest restaurants in Times Square my shoulder has been in constant pain. I have been to several doctors and physicians and no one could give me a clear answer as to what the problem really was. After visiting NY Pain Care I FINALLY HAD ANSWERS! Dr. Hosny and the entire staff is incredibly knowledgeable and professional. They got me on the track to feeling better ASAP and the results have been incredible.
