Yes, shoulder pain can radiate down the arm. The nervous system that controls and operates your arm originates from the lower portion of your neck (C5-T1) if there is an issue affecting these areas of your neck you can have radiating pain from your neck to your shoulder. If the ribcage is having difficulty pumping blood from the thoracic cavity through the shoulder down to the arm you can have radiating pain and even numbness.
These issues can be fixated or mediated in multiple different ways.
Chiropractic adjustments to the referred to spinal areas in the lower portion of the neck and ribcage/shoulder area can help take pressure off the nervous system and circulation as well as muscular release to the neck and shoulder area to directly treat the source of the issues affecting the neck. Physical therapy should also be used to strengthen and stabilize the affected shoulder
Anti-inflammatory pain medication can also help the symptoms of pain but will not ultimately fix the root cause of the issue and you do not want to rely on taking anti-inflammatories daily bc that can lead to other issues after prolonged periods of time as well
