Specializes in Orthopedic Surgery

See below: Arm pain is a vague complaint . Neck problems are often associated . A thorough history and exam with xrays id indicated . Seek an orthopaedic surgeon specialized in spine . Just because he is a surgeon , he 'll try to exhaust all conservative treatment before surgery . Do not get your neck manipulated . Examination of the arm , in itself for pathologic findings.
