Shoulder Impingement Explained

Understanding Shoulder Impingement

Shoulder impingement syndrome is a common cause of shoulder pain, occurring when the rotator cuff tendons rub or catch on the shoulder blade. Over time, this can lead to pain and restricted movement.

Symptoms of Shoulder Impingement

Symptoms typically include:

  • Pain when reaching overhead or behind the back
  • A feeling of weakness or fatigue in the shoulder
  • Pain that radiates from the front of the shoulder to the side of the arm
  • Sudden pain with lifting and reaching movements

Causes and Risk Factors

Shoulder impingement often develops as a result of:

  • Excessive use of the shoulder in overhead activities
  • Poor posture that leads to narrowing of the space through which the rotator cuff muscles pass
  • Muscle imbalances or weak shoulder muscles
  • Previous shoulder injuries that have not fully healed

Diagnosis and Treatment

Diagnosis often involves a physical exam, imaging tests like X-rays or MRIs to assess any changes in the shoulder structure, and sometimes an ultrasound to see how the shoulder moves. Treatment focuses on:

  • Rest: Limiting activities that aggravate the condition.
  • Ice Therapy: Applying ice to the shoulder to reduce inflammation and pain.
  • Anti-inflammatory Medications: To help control pain and decrease inflammation.
  • Physical Therapy: Strengthening and stretching exercises to improve flexibility and strength.
  • Surgical Options: Arthroscopic surgery to create more space for the rotator cuff, considered if conservative treatments fail.

Prevention

Prevention strategies involve regular exercise to maintain shoulder strength and flexibility, using proper techniques during physical activities, and managing workload during repetitive tasks to avoid overuse.
