How is Shoulder Impingement Syndrome Cured

• Shoulder Impingement Syndrome The shoulder is
  the most dynamic joint with the widest range of
  motion compared to any other joint in the human
  body.
• It is constructed in a way to enable a wide range
  of motions and this unique construction also
  makes it vulnerable to a wide variety of injuries
  too especially in sports.

  than others.

  common sports injuries treated by sports injuries

How is Shoulder Impingement Syndrome Cured

• What is Shoulder Impingement Syndrome?
• Shoulder impingement syndrome is a condition
  where the rotator cuff rubs or pinches against
  the outer top edge of the shoulder blade to cause
  pain and irritation.
• Let us understand the construction of the
  shoulder joint to better understand the syndrome.
• The shoulder joint is made up of three bones
  the scapula (shoulder blade), clavicle (collar
  bone) and humerus (upper arm bone).
• The top of the upper bone sits inside the socket
  of the shoulder blade to form the shoulder joint.
  
• A network of muscles holds the top of the upper
  arm bone in the socket to make a rotator cuff
  which sits between the top of the shoulder blade
  and the top of the upper arm bone.
• It glides freely within its space to enable
  shoulder movement.

• However, in case of a shoulder injury, this
  rotator cuff can swell, and inflame the bursa or
  tendon.
• This ultimately narrows the space and leads to
  rubbing against the edge of the shoulder blade
  causing pain and irritation.
• What Causes Shoulder Impingement Syndrome?
• Shoulder impingement primarily is caused in
  sports that involve repetitive shoulder movement
  swimming, basketball, volleyball, tennis or
  even activities like painting.
• The repetitive motion can over time cause
  inflammation of the tendons that surround the
  rotator cuff, and bursae that provide padding or
  even cause swelling of the rotator cuff
  ultimately leading to pain and irritation.

R.I.C.E Treatment

• Treatment for Shoulder Impingement Syndrome
• The goal of the treatment for shoulder
  impingement syndrome is to reduce pain and
  improve shoulder function.
• Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation is the
  common procedure adopted by a majority of
  orthopaedists to relieve shoulder impingement
  pain.
• Physiotherapy is another effective treatment that
  improves the function of the shoulder and
  relieves its pain gradually.
• Anti-inflammatory medications and refraining from
  physical strain are suggested for faster
  improvement.

• Surgery is only considered when the above
  treatment proves to be ineffective.
• An orthopaedic surgeon may decompress the
  shoulder joint by removing a piece of shoulder
  blade by making tiny cuts.
• Almost 70 of the people are completely treated
  by non-surgical treatment for shoulder
  impingement syndrome.
• Only a few cases will need surgery,
