Shoulder Impingement
Shoulder Impingement Treatment
Shoulder impingement is one of the most common causes of pain in the adult shoulder. It results from pressure on the rotator cuff from part of the shoulder blade (scapula) as the arm lifts. The rotator cuff links four muscles: the supraspinatus, the infraspinatus, the subscapularis, and the teres minor. These muscles cover the “ball” of the shoulder (head of the humerus). The muscles work together to lift and rotate the shoulder properly after shoulder impingement therapy.
Cure Shoulder Impingement
Initial treatment to cure shoulder impingement includes activity modification, anti-inflammatory medication, and physical therapy. Suppose non-surgical treatment does not relieve the pain. In that case, minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery can remove bursitis and the bone spur.
