The Causes and Effects of Shoulder Impingement

Injuries

Another possible cause of shoulder impingement can be an injury. When you have an accident like falling from a high position, it would lead to a dislocation of the shoulder, which can eventually cause other shoulder issues like rotator cuff tears and impingement. In mild cases, the symptoms can improve quickly with rest and medications. However, when the pain and discomfort become worse, medical attention is immediately needed to prevent further damages and complications. [3]
