Shoulder Pain
Shoulder pain is a common condition that can significantly impact an individual’s quality of life. It can range from mild discomfort to severe pain and can be caused by a variety of factors. Understanding the causes, symptoms, and treatment options for shoulder pain can help individuals manage their symptoms and improve their overall health and well-being.
Causes Of Shoulder Pain
Shoulder pain can be caused by many different factors, including injury, overuse, inflammation, and degeneration. Common causes of shoulder pain include rotator cuff injuries, frozen shoulder, bursitis, tendonitis, and arthritis. Other possible causes of shoulder pain include nerve damage, shoulder dislocation, and bone fractures.
Symptoms Of Shoulder Pain
The symptoms of shoulder pain can vary depending on the underlying cause. Common symptoms include pain or discomfort in the shoulder, stiffness or limited range of motion, weakness in the arm or shoulder, and swelling or tenderness around the joint. Some people may also experience additional symptoms such as tingling or numbness in the arm or hand.
Treatment Options For Shoulder Pain
The treatment options for shoulder pain depend on the underlying cause of the pain. NJSSW offers several types of treatment for shoulder pain and injuries. Chiropractic care may help alleviate pain and increase mobility of your shoulder. Our physical therapists can also develop custom rehabilitation programs and exercises to improve strength and range of motion. Our occupational therapists will also work with you to develop plans and strategies to get you back to your daily activities so your shoulder pain and injury doesn’t interfere with your life.
While we can help rehabilitate you after injuries and surgery, we can also help determine if surgery is a necessary course of action if you haven’t already undergone a surgical procedure to fix an existing injury.

Patient Testimonials
I had my first visit yesterday at this facility. From the moment I entered the girls at the desk greeted me and were so friendly. Then I consulted with Dr Jeff who took the time for me to explain my condition. After that I worked with Marianne who evaluated me . After I finished Dr Jeff read my MRI & my condition was explained to me in further detail. I ended my session with Dr Jeff. I feel confident that I am in the best hands with these outstanding, knowledgeable, caring professionals. Thank you to all of you! Five stars are not enough!

I just wrapped up 24 sessions with the team at NJ Sports Spine & Wellness - Matawan for lower back and TMJ pain. The whole team there is dedicated on getting you back to feeling your old self. My therapy included decompression, physical therapy, and Chiropractic work. Dr. Jordan - who worked on my TMJ - was very friendly and informative. Dr. Mayra - my chiropractor - was very caring, helpful and efficient. Everyone there took the time to address my needs and answer any questions I had. Also, the facility is very modern, clean and has the latest technologies. I am feeling much better after my time with the team. Would definitely recommend NJ Sports Spine & Wellness!

I went into NJ Sports, Spine, and Wellness in excruciating pain, desperate for relief. The front desk crew are amazing, efficient, and empathetic. They got me in urgently and I started treatment with Dr. Tony Abregio. He spent considerable time with me assessing my condition. He advised me to follow up with an orthopedic doctor, and he ordered imaging. When my insurance company denied the CT he went to bat for me, and went above and beyond to get the test approved. Dr. Abregio is highly skilled in hands on modalities. He incorporates massage, stretching, and adjustments to bring relief. He listens and after clinically evaluating, he formulates a treatment plan. The crew on the floor are wonderful, Mariah, Claudette, Julien, and everyone on the team work with you and give you encouragement along with therapy. When you hurt and can’t get a break from the pain, you find respite here. Ultimately I am feeling much better. If you have chronic pain or you get injured, NJ Sports and Spine will get you better. Thank you to the whole team!

Alyssa is the professional I have been seeing and she has been a great help for my progress through my rotator cuff surgery. NJ Sports are very professional and I reccomend them for anyone who is recovering from procedures like mine. The pain has been tough but Alyssa is there every step of the way. See Alyssa, she is the best!
Sharon De Man
I have been going to physical and occupational therapy, as well as chiropractic services at the Matawan location of NJ spine and Wellness for the last three years and I am beyond satisfied and so very thankful for their services offered. I am currently seeing Matthew Mondoro for chiropractic services and Alyssa Bark for occupational therapy and they are both life savers.
The techs that assist with my workout routine on the fitness floor go above and beyond to make sure I know how to do each exercise with proper form. I recently started their acupuncture services which are located right across the street and I am also very pleased with Yunshen Wang. I am so very appreciative to this facility, and last but not least, thank you to the reception and scheduling staff members for fitting me in and making last minute chsnges whenever necessary.

Shyam Patel
My experience so far with the rehab team has been incredible. OT Alyssa is the primary therapist I have seen and she is phenomenal at what she does. I appreciate her intentionality with my treatment when we meet 1-on-1. She makes sure to ask how I’m doing and checks in with my progress. I highly recommend Alyssa; she is the perfect balance of personable/caring and knowledgeable. The exercises provided to me are challenging but are effective to my healing process. Techs David, Zaire and Liam are the best! They are attentive when helping me with the exercises assigned to me and go above and beyond to make sure my experience (and that of other patients around me) is as enjoyable as possible in spite of the physical challenges.

A special thanks to Dr. Mayra Tamayo, who has been amazing throughout the entire process. Her support, knowledge, and kindness have made a huge difference and I truly appreciate all the effort she has put into my well-being.
And also thanks to Liam, Tavis, Kat, and Agnies. Your help and support were excellent throughout my recovery. Thank you.

I’ve had an amazing experience at NJ Sports Spine & Wellness! I spent a lot of time researching the perfect place for PT after knee surgery, and I'm glad I came here. The staff is friendly and supportive. Katelynn is a fantastic OT who doesn't rush her patients and has worked wonders on my knee since surgery. Liam is incredibly knowledgeable about ACL surgery recovery and tailors the sessions to my needs. Everyone here pushes me to improve and always makes sure I’m comfortable every step of the way. Everyone is awesome, but I'm glad I get to work with Tori, Alyssa, Agnes, Kat, and Tavis often. I highly recommend NJSS&W for anyone looking for personalized, thoughtful care!
