What Causes Shoulder Impingement?

The shoulder is “the overachiever of the body.” It’s supposed to move in all directions — but when something isn’t doing its job (usually your scapular stabilizers or thoracic spine), the shoulder joint pays the price.
If you’ve ever felt that deep, annoying pinch in the front or top of your shoulder when reaching overhead — yeah, that’s not something to ignore. Shoulder impingement (sometimes mimicking rotator cuff tendonitis) can creep up on anyone from desk workers and weekend warriors to CrossFit athletes, swimmers, and golfers. It’s one of the most common shoulder issues we treat here at Minnesota Movement Chiropractic & Sports Rehab.

If you’ve ever had shoulder pain, you know it’s one of those things that makes everything annoying. Brushing your teeth? Hurts. Putting on a shirt? Hurts. Trying to impress your friends with your overhead press PR? Definitely hurts.

Here’s the thing: the shoulder is an insanely mobile joint — which is great when you’re serving an ace or hitting a drive down the fairway, but not so great when the smallest imbalance throws the whole system off. And that’s exactly why shoulder pain is one of the most common things we see at Minnesota Movement.

Now, you might be wondering, “Should I see a chiropractor or a physical therapist for shoulder pain?” Read the full blog to find out!
