Understanding Shoulder Impingement Syndrome
Shoulder impingement syndrome occurs when the rotator cuff tendons become trapped and compressed during shoulder movements, leading to inflammation, pain, and limited range of motion.
Impact of Shoulder Pain
Shoulder impingement syndrome affects individuals of all ages, particularly those with repetitive overhead activities, hindering daily functions and physical engagement.
Challenges in Daily Life
Simple tasks like reaching high shelves or grooming become painful with shoulder impingement, causing frustration and reduced activity levels.
Symptoms and Causes Overview
Recognizing symptoms and causes is crucial for effective treatment. Symptoms include persistent pain, reduced motion, discomfort when lifting the arm, and muscle weakness.
Underlying Causes:
- Structural Variations: Individuals with narrower spaces for tendons are more prone to impingement.
- Activity-Related Factors: Athletes and overhead workers face a higher risk of impingement.
- Muscle Imbalance: Weak shoulder muscles can lead to improper mechanics and impingement.
- Injury History: Past shoulder injuries can contribute to impingement syndrome.
