Expert Shoulder Pain Manual Therapy in Los Angeles, CA
Shoulder pain shouldn’t sideline your life. At SOBH Sports, Dr. Nader Sobh, D.O. delivers hands-on, nonsurgical care rooted in osteopathic medicine — treating the root cause of your pain, not just the symptoms. Same-day diagnoses. Real results. No surgery required.
Shoulder Pain That Won't Go Away Is a Problem
Too many people in Los Angeles push through shoulder pain, try generic fixes, or get told surgery is their only option — and end up worse off. Your pain has a root cause, and it deserves a real answer.
Masking Pain Instead of Fixing It
Rest, ice, and over-the-counter medications may dull the discomfort temporarily — but without treating the underlying dysfunction, shoulder pain returns, often worse than before.
Premature or Unnecessary Surgery
Many patients are told surgery is inevitable, when conservative, hands-on care — like manual therapy, OMT, and ultrasound-guided PRP — can restore function and eliminate pain without going under the knife.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before your first visit to SOBH Sports for shoulder pain manual therapy in Los Angeles.
What is Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) and how does it help shoulder pain?
OMT is a hands-on technique where Dr. Sobh uses precise manual pressure and movement to treat muscle and joint dysfunction. For shoulder pain, OMT addresses restrictions in the joint, soft tissue, and surrounding structures — restoring mobility and reducing pain without surgery or medication.
How is SOBH Sports different from a regular orthopedic clinic?
Dr. Sobh is a DO (Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine) trained in a whole-person approach that identifies the root cause of pain rather than masking symptoms. He combines OMT, ultrasound-guided diagnostics, and regenerative medicine options like PRP — all under one roof with same-day diagnoses.
Do you accept insurance?
Yes — SOBH Sports accepts select insurance plans as well as self-pay options. Coverage varies by plan and service. Contact our front office at frontoffice@drsobh.com or call (213) 297-4395 to verify your specific coverage before your visit.
What conditions do you treat beyond shoulder pain?
Dr. Sobh treats a broad range of musculoskeletal conditions including low back pain, sciatica, neck pain, rotator cuff injuries, frozen shoulder, elbow pain, hip pain, knee injuries, plantar fasciitis, headaches, TMJ pain, and more.
What should I expect at my first visit?
Your first appointment includes a comprehensive evaluation and, when appropriate, same-day in-house ultrasound imaging. Dr. Sobh will walk you through his findings, explain what’s causing your pain, and present your treatment options clearly — so you leave informed and with a plan.
Is manual therapy right for me if I haven’t had surgery?
Absolutely. Manual therapy and OMT are ideal conservative, first-line treatments for shoulder pain and most musculoskeletal conditions. Dr. Sobh’s goal is to help you avoid surgery whenever possible through targeted, evidence-informed hands-on care.
