Shoulder Pain Relief with Suprascapular Nerve Block in Queens, NY
If you’ve been living with chronic shoulder pain that won’t go away, even with rest, therapy, or medications, a Suprascapular Nerve Block may be the relief you’ve been searching for. At Precision Care, with locations in Queens, our expert pain management doctors offer this minimally invasive treatment to reduce pain, improve mobility, and help you get back to your normal routine.
What Is a Suprascapular Nerve Block?
The suprascapular nerve is a key nerve that supplies feeling to part of your shoulder and upper back. When this nerve becomes irritated or compressed due to injury, arthritis, or overuse, it can cause intense, lingering shoulder pain. A Suprascapular Nerve Block involves injecting a mix of local anesthetic and anti-inflammatory medication near this nerve to:
- Block pain signals
- Reduce inflammation
- Improve shoulder movement
- Support physical therapy and recovery
Conditions Treated by a Suprascapular Nerve Block
This treatment is often recommended for patients suffering from:
- Rotator cuff injuries
- Shoulder arthritis
- Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis)
- Shoulder impingement syndrome
- Chronic shoulder bursitis
- Post-surgical shoulder pain
- Shoulder pain due to nerve entrapment
Whether your shoulder pain is from an old sports injury or arthritis that’s getting worse, Precision Care can help you find relief in Queens.
What to Expect During the Procedure
At Precision Care, your comfort and safety are a priority. The suprascapular nerve block is performed in-office by experienced specialists using ultrasound or fluoroscopic guidance for accuracy.
Here’s how the procedure works:
- Consultation
- Your provider reviews your pain symptoms, medical history, and any past treatments.
- A physical exam or imaging may be done to confirm the diagnosis.
- Injection Process
- You’ll sit or lie in a comfortable position while the skin near your shoulder is cleaned and numbed.
- Using a thin needle and image guidance, your doctor precisely places the medication near the suprascapular nerve.
- Recovery
- Most patients feel immediate or same-day relief.
- You can go home shortly after the injection and resume light activity.
Some patients may need a series of injections spaced out over time for long-lasting results.
