Shoulder Impingement Causes and Treatment

Shoulder impingement occurs when the rotator cuff tendons rub against (or impinge) on the shoulder blade, which causes pain and irritation. It results when the musculature of the rotator cuff is relatively weak compared to the strong, powerful deltoid muscle. Because the shoulder is so reliant on the balance between these muscle groups, often times people can’t identify an activity that causes shoulder impingement. Occasionally activities that involve repetitive use, such as shoveling snow, can fatigue the rotator cuff and result in inflammation and arm pain. Conservative treatment options include rest, anti-inflammatory medications, cortisone injections, and stretching. If there has been more long term damage to the shoulder structure, such as a rotator cuff tear, surgery may be needed. Commonly shoulder impingement is repaired with arthroscopic surgery, but can be performed with an open surgical technique as well. To minimize the risk of shoulder impingement syndrome, you can strengthen the rotator cuff with exercises as part of a daily routine.
