Impingement syndrome, often referred to as shoulder impingement, occurs when the tendons of the rotator cuff become compressed during shoulder movements, particularly when the arm is raised. This compression can lead to pain, inflammation, and decreased range of motion. Commonly seen in athletes and individuals engaged in repetitive overhead activities, symptoms may include shoulder pain, weakness, and difficulty with overhead motions. Treatment typically involves rest, physical therapy, and anti-inflammatory medications, with surgery considered in severe cases.
