Rotator cuff strain shoulder impingement

28-year-old male with right shoulder pain after a forceful volleyball serve 1.5 months ago. Symptoms initially improved after I stopped playing sports but flared up again 7–8 days ago. Orthopedic examination diagnosed rotator cuff strain with a positive impingement test. Current symptoms include burning/crawling sensation around the right shoulder blade, occasional tingling, and stiffness around the right shoulder and upper trapezius region. A neurologist documented a right shoulder injury and referred me back to orthopedics. I have not had an MRI or started physiotherapy yet. Given the burning/tingling symptoms, I'm unsure whether I should continue orthopedic treatment or whether this could be a neurological issue.
