Incorrect muscle activation, poor posture habits, inflamed muscles and joints, chiropractic misalignment of the vertebral column and improper ergonomics are also contributing factors that should not be overlooked. Treatment through chiropractic adjustments, massage therapy and physical therapy prescribed by a qualified therapist are helpful for many patients suffering from shoulder impingement syndrome. Regular chiropractic care can help maintain alignment of the spine and assist with general musculoskeletal health. Massage therapy aids in releasing tight muscles that may have caused shoulder impingement syndrome while pulling weak muscles back into proper alignment.

Shoulder impingement syndrome is a common musculoskeletal disorder that involves compression of tissues within the shoulder joint, typically due to inflammation or degeneration of certain muscle tendons. It can cause pain in the upper shoulder area when raising the arm and can limit mobility in the shoulder joint. This condition often affects people with occupations which require repetitive or overhead movements; however, it can also occur as a result of normal wear and tear on the joint over time.

Additional symptoms of shoulder impingement syndrome may be clicking or grinding noises from within or around the affected joint.
