Shoulder

Conditions We Treat

“The doctor of the future will give no medication, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, diet and in the cause and prevention of disease.”

Thomas Edison

Impingement Syndrome

Impingement syndrome is one of the most common injuries we treat here at CSCM, particularly with our overhead athletes and “desk jockey’s.” Impingement syndrome usually starts as a “pinch” sensation experienced in the front of the shoulder. Soon to follow is increased pain, inflammation, and often difficulty raising your arms overhead, or reaching behind your back.

Here at CSCM, we effectively treat impingement syndrome and correct the muscle imbalances that led to it in the first place with a multitude of conservative treatment strategies.

Rotator Cuff Tear or Strain

The rotator cuff is comprised of four muscles: the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis.  A tear or strain of these muscles and their tendon’s compromises the stability of the shoulder joint, and can be a cause of shoulder impingement syndrome.

Rotator cuff injuries are very prevalent but can be treated at CSC+M with a healthy diet of integrated services, including ART, Physical Therapy, acupuncture and kinesiotaping.

Biceps Tendinitis

The biceps tendon travels up the arm and inserts into the labrum of your shoulder. Improper function of the rotator cuff and scapular muscles can lead to tissue breakdown and ultimately pain/injury to the biceps tendon. This pain can be debilitating, and often affects people reaching behind the back and overhead.

Here at CSCM treatment consists of decreasing inflammation and trauma to the injured structures while restoring the normal function of the shoulder to fully rehabilitate this condition.

Labral Tear

Your a The glenohumeral joint, or shoulder joint is a ball-and-socket articulation where the round head of the humerus fits into the shallow fossa of the scapula like a golf ball on a tee.  The labrum is a piece of fibrocartilage(rubbery tissue) attached to the rim of the shoulder socket that helps keep the ball of the shoulder joint in place.  The labrum also provides a suction-cup effect that adds stability to the shoulder.  A slight tear or degeneration in the labrum is usually diagnosed with orthopedic tests and may need an MRI.

Here at CSC+M, we work as a team to conservatively manage this injury and fully rehabilitate the function the scapular stabilizers and rotator cuff muscles with ART and specific exercise protocols.

Just a quick email to let you know that my race last weekend was fabulous. I finished in 13:12 with splits of 0:57, 7:05, and 4:45 or thereabouts. The marathon on a difficult course [at least the first 14 miles were very hilly] felt great and I could run a negative split with my fastest miles being 17-24.

My body feels rather tired now but my legs seem much less affected than after previous marathons – must be the strength training/stretching/massage & ART! All in all, what a great experience, especially after not being able to run more than 0.25 miles without pain in April. Thanks again for your help. I will stop by in the next few days to show off my medal.

I had a great experience with Dr. Anselmi and his office.  The doctor has tremendous knowledge and is very skilled at what he does.  His treatment was key to my recovery from hip surgery.  The office is highly efficient and friendly and they handled easily all matters related to insurance.  The massage therapists are also highly skilled.  I have referred several people to this practice since my experience.

I am so happy to know about this place, and to be treated by its doctors! As an athlete, it’s a blessing to find people who understand your sport and can explain to you what’s going on, and then even fix the problems you’ve been dealing with! I wish I could have been treated by them years ago, it is changing my outlook on my future in my sport! Great people, doing great work! Thank you!

I went in with so much pain – back, neck, shoulders – and left feeling much better – and with a plan for complete recovery – that didn’t include spending the rest of the year going there !!

Bravo — great place !! and Dr. A is amazing!

I’ve been a patient at CSC+M for about 18 months and initially went in for some knee pain. The PT and Chiropractor I worked with very quickly identified what was causing the pain, gave me exercises and resolved that. I highly recommend them (and have to several co-workers) to keep your body working as it should so you can go about your day without aches and pains that can be easily fixed. I only wish I hadn’t waited so long and I’m glad I can go back for maintenance to keep my body working and pain free.

This place is heaven. I had a major back injury after attempting to do a workout boot camp on the beach. The unlevel sand cause all the muscles in my back to tear. I could barely walk for 2 weeks.

The combination of CSCM’s physical therapy, massage therapy and chiropractic therapy brought me back to life. I’m now 100% better and back to working out. I can’t thank everyone there for all of their help.

Illa Gold

It never ceases to amaze me how wonderful this facility is. The treatment that I’ve received from Dr. Anselmi, Dr. Nagorski and the medical masseuse team is unprecedented and hard to come by in NYC. I have been in treatment for a longstanding injury and could not be happier with the therapy and level of professionalism that the medical staff has shown me. Thank you Dr. Anselmi & co!!!!

MK Marsden and Peter Crosby I found my way to the Center for Spine Care + Mobility because I was looking for an integrated approach to treat injury-induced headaches. I used to go to an integrated physical therapy/chiropractic care center before I moved to New York from California, so I expected CSC+M to be a similar experience. Working with Dr. Schuman, Jinita, Denise, and Sandra and experiencing their targeted, attentive care is the reason why CSC+M surpassed all my expectations. My experience with CSC+M has not only helped eradicate my headaches but is helping me learn how to control and strengthen my body to correct bad habits and prevent further injuries. Not to mention the facilities are clean and comfortable and the entire staff is friendly and welcoming every time I come in. I would 100% recommend CSC+M to anyone looking for physical therapy or chiropractic work in general – why have just one form of treatment when you can have it all?!

I suffered a lower back injury my first year of college, during this time I have seen many other doctors and one other chiropractor. But I’ve enjoyed my experience the Center for Spine Care and Mobility the most. I’ve only been seeing them for a short time, but I already see an improvement in my core strength and the pain in my lower back that would occasionally flare up is now slowly but surely disappearing. I would recommend CSC+M to anyone who wants to see great results and be treated incomparably by a wonderful staff.

Hi Dr. Anselmi, its been one week since my shoulder surgery and today I talked with my orthopedic surgeon. Everything went great, and a huge reason was all the work you guys did with me in preparation for the surgery. The improvements I saw after working with you, Dr Schumann and Dr Sunny were awesome and exceeded my expectations. Thank you very much.

Doug Johnson

My therapist in Hawaii referred me to Dr. Anselmi when I tore my quadricep muscle retrieving luggage from the overhead bin on an arriving flight (all my serious injuries happen in the least heroic circumstances).

Over the years, his team has put me back together after so many injuries. Last year I fell in the subway and within a few hours I saw Dr. Anselmi. He arranged for an MRI and created a treatment, with his team. It has been 8 or 9 months since my last visit and the only recurrence was when I stopped my exercises that my therapist (thanks Jinita) prescribed. I have been to every specialist imaginable but the number who DO NOT recommend surgeries comes down to just one: Dr. Anselmi. To date, I cannot imagine what might have become of me without him and his team.

I went to CSC+M for a shoulder injury and was very happy with the results.  They have a talented team and multiple treatments available. I was interested in myofacial treatment, which is why I sought out Dr. Anselmi in the first place. The chiropractors, PT and massage therapist all helped to get me healed and on my way.  The at-home exercises which I continue to do have kept me painless and functioning.  The support staff is helpful and efficient.  CSC+M is now at the top of my list.

I cannot speak highly enough about CSC+M. Dr. Amsale & his staff of medical professionals has been amazing in helping me after a terrible foot injury. If you’re considering therapy or chiropractics in Manhattan look no further. Love it here!
