Shoulder Impingement Fort Lauderdale
Shoulder Impingement Fort Lauderdale
Experiencing a sharp pain in your shoulder when lifting your arm, reaching overhead, or tucking your shirt? You may be dealing with shoulder impingement—a condition where the tendons or bursa in the shoulder become compressed by surrounding bones during movement. At Theracave in Fort Lauderdale, we offer targeted physical therapy programs designed to reduce inflammation, restore proper movement, and strengthen the shoulder for lasting relief.
Shoulder impingement can make everyday activities like dressing, carrying groceries, or even sleeping painful. If not addressed early, it may lead to more serious issues like tendon tears or chronic instability. Our personalized therapy approach includes hands-on treatment, corrective exercises, and posture training to relieve symptoms and prevent future problems. With consistent care, we help you return to pain-free movement and a more active lifestyle.

Q&A
What is shoulder impingement and how does it happen?
Shoulder impingement occurs when soft tissues like the rotator cuff tendons or bursa get compressed under the acromion bone during arm movement. This can cause irritation, inflammation, and pain—especially with repeated overhead activity.
Can shoulder impingement be treated without surgery?
Yes, in most cases, non-surgical treatments like physical therapy are highly effective. Therapy focuses on improving posture, strengthening shoulder stabilizers, and restoring proper movement patterns to relieve pressure and prevent recurrence.
What happens if shoulder impingement is left untreated?
If not addressed, impingement can lead to chronic pain, rotator cuff tendonitis, or even a tendon tear. It can also result in limited function and increased weakness in the shoulder over time.
How long does it take to recover from shoulder impingement?
Recovery time depends on the severity and how early treatment begins. With consistent physical therapy, many people experience significant improvement within 4–8 weeks, though full recovery may take longer in chronic cases.
