Shoulder Impingement Treatment - Physio Active India

Introduction

Shoulder impingement is a common issue affecting the shoulder joint that results in pain and discomfort. This condition occurs when the rotator cuff tendons or bursae become compressed as they pass through the narrow space between the arm bone and the shoulder blade. Over time, this can lead to inflammation, irritation, and degeneration of the tendons.

Symptoms of Shoulder Impingement

If you're experiencing shoulder impingement, you may experience the following symptoms:

Pain in the shoulder, especially when reaching overhead or behind the back

Weakness in the shoulder

Stiffness or limited range of motion in the shoulder joint

A clicking or grinding sound when moving the shoulder

Causes of Shoulder Impingement

Several factors can contribute to the development of shoulder impingement, including:

Overuse of the shoulder joint

Repetitive overhead movements (e.g. sports or manual labor)

Age-related changes to the tendons and bursae in the shoulder

Shoulder injury or trauma

Poor posture
