Shoulder impingement
Shoulder impingement is a condition that occurs when the arm is elevated to 90 degrees and causes a pinching of the tissues in the shoulder. These tissues may include a tendon of a muscle (causing tendonitis) or a bursa which is like a fluid filled sac (causing bursitis).
It is a common cause of pain in the shoulder, particularly in people with forwards shoulders/poor posture, swimmers and even painters. It can lead to more serious injury of the shoulder such as tears of the tendon.
A thorough clinical evaluation of the shoulder can help diagnose this condition. Properly addressing shoulder mechanics with treatment and teaching right stretches and exercises can help reduce the irritation of these tissues.
