Bursitis involves the inflammation of bursa, commonly affecting the subacromial bursa in the shoulder. Causes include overuse, trauma, or underlying conditions like arthritis. Symptoms may include pain, swelling, and limited range of motion.

Impingement Syndromes
Impingement syndromes occur when there is compression or impingement of structures in the shoulder, particularly the rotator cuff tendons, as they pass through the subacromial space. This can lead to pain, tenderness, and inflammation.

Common types include:

Subacromial Impingement: Compression of structures beneath the acromion.

Internal Impingement: Pinching of structures between the humeral head and glenoid.

Causes

Repetitive overhead activities, common in sports or certain occupations.

Injuries resulting in inflammation or structural changes.

Variations in shoulder anatomy influencing impingement risk.

Weakness or imbalance in the shoulder muscles.

Natural wear and tear, more prevalent with age.

Symptoms

Dull or sharp pain, often worsened by specific movements.

Inflammation in the affected area.

Difficulty in certain shoulder movements.

Sensitivity to touch in specific regions.

Treatment Options:

Conservative Management

Corticosteroid Injections

Ultrasound-Guided Interventions

Surgical Intervention
