Subacromial Impingement...A Common Cause of Shoulder Pain...

Some have estimated that 1 in 3 adults will deal with shoulder pain at some point...

Subacromail impingement syndrome (SIS) is the most frequent cause of shoulder pain in adults. SIS often manifests as pain during forward elevation of the arm, which often results in the soft tissue of the shoulder getting pinched in between surrounding bony structures. SIS is typically treated initially with physical therapy and sometimes injection therapy.
