Shoulder Impingement
Shoulder impingement is the condition of inflammation of the tendons of the shoulder joint. It is one of the most common causes of pain in the adult shoulder. Impingement results from pressure on the rotator cuff from part of the shoulder blade (scapula) as the arm is lifted. It is more likely to occur in young and middle aged people who engage in physical activities that require repeated overhead arm movements.
Symptoms:
- Severe pain at rest and during activity
- Weakness in the arm
- Difficulty in raising the hand overhead
Investigations:
- Physical examination
- X-ray
- MRI
Non-Surgical Treatment:
- Dry Needling
- Steroid and Hyaluronic Acid Image Guided Injections
- Image Guided Calcific Barbotage
