Shoulder Impingement and Bursitis:

Shoulder impingement and shoulder bursitis are a common source of pain in the shoulder. The pain is classically over the superior or lateral aspect of the shoulder, although it can be both anterior and posterior to the shoulder also. The pain generally tends to get worse with lifting the arm overhead, reaching behind the back or sleeping at night.

Treatment consists of antiinflammatory medications, appropriate rehabilitation and correction and modification of activities so that appropriate recovery can occur. Dr. Rehman can evaluate a shoulder and look for any anatomical alignment issues or poor muscular development issues, which may result in ongoing problems with the shoulder.
