What is shoulder impingement syndrome?
Shoulder impingement occurs when the top outer edge of your shoulder blade, called the acromion, rubs against (“impinges on”) or pinches your rotator cuff beneath it, causing pain and irritation

The causes of this impingement include:

>>Your rotator cuff tendon is torn or inflamed. This can be due to overuse from repetitive activity of the shoulder, injury or from age-related wear and tear.
>Your bursa is irritated and inflamed. Your bursa is the fluid-filled sac between your tendon and the acromion. Your bursa helps your muscles and tendons glide over your bones. Your bursa can become inflamed due to overuse of the shoulder or injury.
>Your acromion is not flat (you were born this way) or you have developed age-related bone spurs on your acromion.

Symptoms of shoulder impingement syndrome include:

>Pain when u extend your arm above your head or lowering your arm from a raised position or when reaching.
>Pain and tenderness in the front of your shoulder.
>Pain when lying on the affected side which affects your ability to sleep.
>Pain when reaching behind your back, like reaching into a back or pocket zipping up a zipper.
>Shoulder and/or arm weakness and limited range of movement.

How is shoulder impingement syndrome treated?

Physical therapy is the most important treatment for shoulder impingement syndrome. We will assess you and find out the root cause of your problem. We will teach you stretching and strengthening exercises to improve the range of motion of your shoulder. As your pain lessens, you can begin strengthening exercises to improve your rotator cuff muscles strength and stabilize your shoulder.
