Shoulder impingement syndrome

Shoulder impingement syndrome is a common cause of shoulder pain treated at specialized orthopedic and rehabilitation clinics throughout Seoul. This condition occurs when the tendons or bursa in the shoulder are compressed during movement, leading to inflammation and discomfort—often improving significantly with non-surgical care.

Common Non-Surgical Treatments

• Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation
  Targeted exercises to strengthen the rotator cuff and shoulder stabilizers, improve range of motion, and reduce impingement.
• Ultrasound-Guided Corticosteroid Injections
  Precise injections into the subacromial space to relieve inflammation and pain.
• Manual Therapy & Chiropractic Care
  Hands-on techniques to mobilize the shoulder and improve biomechanics.
• Acupuncture & Korean Oriental Medicine
  Traditional treatments to decrease pain, promote circulation, and support healing.
• Medication Management
  Short-term use of NSAIDs or analgesics to control inflammation and discomfort.
• Heat & Cold Therapy
  Alternating applications to ease pain and swelling.
• Posture Correction & Ergonomic Coaching
  Education to improve shoulder mechanics and prevent recurrence.
• Massage & Myofascial Release
  Techniques to relax tight muscles and reduce tension around the joint.
