Shoulder pain is one of the most common complaints we treat at Advanced Integrative Health Center of Dallas, and one of the leading causes is a condition called Shoulder Impingement Syndrome. Whether you’re an athlete, an office worker, or someone who enjoys an active lifestyle, impingement can significantly interfere with your daily function—and your quality of life.
But the good news? It’s highly treatable with the right combination of physical therapy, specialized sports rehabilitation, chiropractic care, and functional movement training.
What Is Shoulder Impingement Syndrome?
Shoulder impingement syndrome occurs when the tendons or bursa in your shoulder get pinched or compressed between the bones of the shoulder joint—particularly under the acromion (the top part of the shoulder blade).
This usually happens due to:
- Repetitive overhead movement (e.g., lifting, sports, or work)
- Poor posture or rounded shoulders
- Weakness or imbalance in the rotator cuff or scapular stabilizers
- Previous injuries or inflammation in the shoulder
Common Symptoms of Shoulder Impingement:
- Pain when lifting your arm or reaching overhead
- Weakness in the shoulder or upper arm
- Pain that worsens at night or when lying on the affected side
- Limited range of motion
- A “catching” or pinching sensation during movement
If left untreated, impingement can worsen and lead to rotator cuff tears or chronic inflammation.
