The treatment of soft tissue neck and shoulder pain includes the use of anti-inflammatory medication (such as Aleve or Motrin) and/or acetaminophen (Tylenol). Pain also may be treated with a local application of moist heat or ice. Local corticosteroid injection is often helpful for Arthritis of the shoulder. For both neck and shoulder pain movement exercises may help. For cases in which nerve roots or the spinal cord are involved, surgical procedures may be necessary.
You can get an appointment with orthopedics doctor or family physician is enough and appointment with physical therapist is also important.

For a severe problem, you might need to visit doctors specializing in the nervous system or the musculoskeletal system.
