Supraspinatus impingement occurs when the supraspinatus tendon, part of the rotator cuff, becomes compressed or irritated as it passes through the shoulder joint, often beneath the acromion bone. This condition can lead to pain, weakness, and limited range of motion in the shoulder, particularly during overhead activities. It is commonly associated with shoulder injuries or overuse and can be diagnosed through physical examinations and imaging studies. Treatment often includes rest, physical therapy, and, in some cases, surgical intervention.

What is impingement upon the thecal sac?
The thecal sac is the covering for the spinal cord. This can be seen on an MRI. Impingement means that something is pressing on it.

What is Mild to moderate supraspinatus tendinosis?
