Impingement Syndrome is the diagnosis given for shoulder pain that is the result of tissues that get pinched or impinged. This pinching occurs when the shoulder joint no longer stays centered in the socket as we raise our arm or use our shoulder.
Shoulder impingement is a soft tissue injury. It occurs when the scapula rubs or pressures the rotator cuff, causing increasing damage, pain, and loss of range of motion. Impingement starts when the shoulder sustains trauma or injury leading to compression of the soft tissue under the acromion. The soft tissue (rotator cuff muscles, tendons, and bursa) are located between the acromion and the head of the humerus. This area is called the sub-acromial space.
