There are many potential causes of shoulder pain, and impingement syndrome is one of the more common. Impingement syndrome of the shoulder occurs when one of the rotator cuff muscles and/or a bursa within the shoulder is compressed under a bone called the acromion as the arm is lifted overhead. Impingement syndrome is common in individuals who play sports that involve overhead motions like swimming, tennis, or throwing. It is also common to occupations where overhead activity can be repetitive such as construction or painting.
