Neck and Shoulder Pain Relief
Neck and shoulder pain relief usually becomes necessary because of a soft tissue injury, such as a strained muscle caused by sleeping with your head in an awkward position, or a ligament sprained during a nasty fall. More often than not, over-the-counter pain medicine can sufficiently manage the associated discomfort until the injury heals.
However, more serious conditions can also affect the cervical spine – the seven vertebrae at the top of the backbone – and lead to neck or shoulder pain. These include bulging disc, herniated disc, degenerative disc disease, cervical spinal stenosis, and bone spurs. When one of these conditions results in compression or irritation of a nerve root or the spinal cord, it can produce symptoms like pain, tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness in the neck, shoulders, arms, or hands.
These symptoms normally can be managed through a program of conservative treatment for shoulder and neck pain relief. In most patients, discomfort will diminish and fade over time, especially in conjunction with a course of non-surgical pain management methods that include:
- Physical therapy
- Therapeutic massage
- Prescription or over-the-counter pain medicine
- Chiropractic therapy
- Cortisone injections
- Shoulder and neck pain relief exercises
- Rest
- Behavior modification

Sometimes, surgery is the only option for long-term neck and shoulder pain relief. Thousands have discovered an alternative to traditional surgery at Laser Spine Institute (LSI). The surgeons at LSI use gentle, endoscopic techniques to perform minimally invasive, outpatient procedures that can help you rediscover a life without pain. Contact LSI to learn more, or for a free review of an MRI or CT scan.
Please note: Laser Spine Institute currently does not perform endoscopic procedures on the thoracic spine.
