Impingement
• Are all painful shoulders impinged?
• And what do we mean when we use the term “impingement”?
• Impingement is a widely-used term in clinical practice for treating shoulder pain.
• Occasionally the term is used as a diagnostic directive because it has a diagnosis code for administrative purposes.
• However, it is important to identify the difference between primary verses secondary impingement pathology.
