I have numbness pain and weakness in shoulder/ arm, what is the best way to treat this?

Identify cause: Before considering treatment see a good physician to decide if you need imaging or referral to a specialist to sort out the cause. Understanding reasons will define the best treatment. Often after exam, you will be referred to physical therapy but there may be other steps to address first.
