Shoulder pain is a common issue that patients present with at Dr. Nawaid Ahmed’s orthopedic office. One of the most common causes of joint pain is shoulder impingement, which can occur without any apparent cause. Shoulder impingement happens when the rotator cuff tendons are pinched or compressed, leading to swelling, inflammation, and pain within the shoulder joint. Due to the shoulder’s high degree of mobility, it is susceptible to various injuries, including shoulder impingement. This condition occurs when a rotator cuff tendon becomes damaged as it rubs against the ligaments and bones within the shoulder. Athletes, especially swimmers, have a higher risk of developing this shoulder condition. In some cases, athletes may develop bone spurs under the acromion, a flat bone located at the top of the shoulder blade, which can lead to severe impingement and chronic shoulder pain. In addition, age is believed to be a contributing factor to shoulder impingement in some patients, as bone spurs can develop naturally as the body ages.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
