Surgery
In more serious cases, subacromial decompression can be a possible option to treat shoulder impingement syndrome. The main goal is to widen the space around your shoulder’s tendon to prevent it from rubbing against surrounding parts. It is often done with small cuts in the shoulders and small surgical instruments. Patients are often under general anesthetic to reduce pain. They may go home right after the procedure and can use the shoulder fully after several weeks, depending on overall health and recovery. [7]
