It is possible that an Osteopathic physician may be able to help with your problem, it depends on the exact cause of the problem. Your physician will perform a history and physical exam, may order imaging or laboratory studies to further evaluate your condition and will then make a determination of the problem and discuss with you his/her recommendations for treatment. Depending on the cause of the problem, pain or anti-inflammatory medications may be prescribed. If the problem is surgical, you will be referred to a surgeon. If the Osteopathic physician determines that manipulation may help your condition, he or she may perform that manipulation, or refer you to another DO or chiropractor who will.

Sounds a bit like a trapped nerve to me
Whats the difference between a strained nerve in the shoulder and a trapped nerve?
== == The word "strain" implies that there was an excess amount of force placed on the nerve and it was injured as a result. With a strain, one must rest the area for at least a week or longer depending on the amount of strain. Immediate application of ice within the first 12 hours would be appropriate and would help reduce the swelling and soreness. After the first 12 hours, application of warm moist heat is used to help soothe the area and increase circulation to the area which speeds healing. The word "trapped" indicates that the nerve is trapped between two structures, usually bony structures. This results in continuous, or sometimes intermittent, pressure on the nerve which in turn causes inflammation and pain and/or numbness and tingling. Sometimes physical therapy, combined with moist heat and rest can reduce the entrapment. Other times surgery is needed to create new room for the nerve.

How do you relieve a trapped nerve?
The answer truly depends on the severity of the ulnar entrapment and the location of the ulnar nerve entrapment. Milder ulnar nerve entrapments can sometimes be relieved with physical therapy and bracing the arm in a position that lessens pressure on the ulnar nerve. Moderate entrapments of the ulnar nerve may respond to physical therapy combined with a steroid injection to relieve inflammation. More severe entrapments may require surgical interventions. The most common location for an ulnar nerve entrapment is at the elbow, this is called an ulnar neuropathy at the elbow (UNE). When this is severe the surgical procedure that is utilized is referred to as a surgical transposition of the ulnar nerve & involves moving the ulnar nerve from the back of the elbow to the front of the elbow. Speak with a neuromuscular specialist regarding your case if you feel that you have an ulnar entrapment, and always keep in mind that you may want to get a second opinion. Be prepared for the possibility of an electrodiagnostic examination. This test would help determine if ulnar nerve is involved, where along the ulnar nerve the lesion is, & how severe the ulnar nerve lesion is.
