impingement syndrome

Impingement syndrome is a common cause of discomfort, particularly for athletes and others who perform repetitive overhead movements. It is characterized by compression of the rotator cuff tendons and the subacromial bursa in the shoulder. Constant shoulder pain, restricted range of motion, and discomfort at night are some of the symptoms, which are sometimes made worse by lifting or reaching. Early detection via physical examination and imaging is essential for directing treatment options, which can range from rest and physical therapy to surgery in more serious cases. The goal of prevention measures is to lower the chance of recurrence and improve shoulder health over the long term by emphasizing correct technique, strengthening exercises, and posture adjustment.
