Shoulder Impingement

What Is Shoulder Impingement?

Shoulder impingement is a common cause of shoulder pain, especially for those whose daily routines require repetitive overhead movements such as lifting, painting, or throwing.

If you have a shoulder impingement the common symptoms can include:

• Shoulder pain
• Shoulder stiffness
• Pain when raising the shoulder
• Pain when putting on a shirt or jacket
• Muscle weakness when reaching or lifting

The Board Certified Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Specialists at OrthoNeuro have helped thousands of patients with shoulder impingements return to an active and healthy lifestyle using a variety of treatment options.

How Is Shoulder Impingement Treated at OrthoNeuro?

Shoulder impingement rarely requires surgery, unless the impingement has caused damage to the ligaments or tendons of the shoulder.

However, in most cases, the Board Certified Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Specialists use a conservative treatment plan to treat shoulder impingement.

These treatment options can include:

• Anti-inflammatory medications
• Physical Therapy
• Injection Therapy
