Shoulder Impingement Syndrome
Shoulder impingement syndrome is a frequent cause of pain in this joint and occurs when the tendons of the shoulder are compressed or rub when moving the arm, especially when raising it.
Common symptoms: Pain when raising the arm, discomfort when sleeping on that side and, at times, weakness or limitation of movement.
Common causes: It is usually associated with repetitive movements, overload, or changes typical of joint wear.
Which specialist treats it? Orthopedics and traumatology assess this type of discomfort, with frequent support from physical therapy and sports medicine. If shoulder pain persists or limits your activities, a professional evaluation will guide you on the most appropriate care.
