Impingement Syndrome Treatment

Shoulder impingement syndrome is a common cause of pain during overhead activity, resulting from the rotator cuff tendons rubbing against the shoulder blade. Dr. Sanjay Rawat provides effective impingement syndrome treatment in Indore to relieve pain and restore shoulder function.

About Impingement Syndrome Treatment

Impingement syndrome occurs when the space between the top of the upper arm bone and the shoulder blade narrows, causing the rotator cuff tendons and bursa to become compressed and inflamed during arm movement. It is common among swimmers, painters, and people performing repetitive overhead tasks. If ignored, ongoing impingement can lead to tendon thinning and eventual rotator cuff tears, making early treatment important.

Symptoms of Impingement Syndrome Treatment

• Pain when raising the arm overhead
• A painful arc of motion between 60 and 120 degrees
• Weakness in the shoulder with lifting
• Pain that worsens at night or with overhead work
• Stiffness after periods of inactivity

Causes of Impingement Syndrome Treatment

• Repetitive overhead movement in sports or occupation
• Bone spurs on the underside of the shoulder blade
• Rotator cuff weakness and poor shoulder mechanics
• Poor posture leading to reduced sub-acromial space
• Age-related degenerative changes

Diagnosis

• Impingement-specific physical examination tests
• X-ray to assess bone spurs and joint space
• MRI to evaluate tendon and bursa involvement
• Ultrasound for dynamic impingement assessment

Treatment Options

• Activity modification and postural correction
• Physiotherapy focused on rotator cuff and scapular strengthening
• Anti-inflammatory medication for pain relief
• Corticosteroid injection into the sub-acromial space
• Arthroscopic sub-acromial decompression for resistant cases
