IMPINGEMENT
Impingement is a shoulder condition where there is pain with overhead activities. It is also know as swimmer's shoulder.
The contact between the acromion process of the scapula and the greater tuberosity of the humerus come in contact with each other with overhead activities. This causes friction and inflammation of the sub-acromial bursa, causing pain.
This condition is ofter managed conservatively with a USG guided injection in the sub-acromial bursa. The pain and inflammation subsides and then with proper rehabilitation patients return back to sport.
Dr. Chintan Desai is the best shoulder pain doctor surgeon who performs this injection procedure under ultrasound guidance.
In few cases, due to repeated friction, a sub-acromial bony spur develops. This causes repeated impingement.
The treatment of this condition then required a shoulder arthroscopy and acromioplasty.
