If you have been diagnosed as having a Shoulder Impingement, it will prove very valuable for you to understand exactly what that means.
We mainly view impingement as an injury.
There are three main points to understand that will help you get your shoulder back to normal.
So what is it you are about to learn that doctors don't know? You are about to discover the truth about shoulder impingement, and why it is not as horrible a condition as you have been led to believe.
Truth #1 Shoulder Impingement doesn't just show up out of the blue.
This kind of shoulder issue doesn't just happen randomly, for no reason.
We like to think that pain and injury just arrives through no fault of our own.
But unless you had a major fall or crash or other injury, and often even if you do have an incident like that, these kind of things sneak up on us in a very predictable manner.
Trauma can be a beginning of the pattern, but there is a Pain Causing Dynamic that slowly sets in, tightens things up, makes things hurt and not work as well.
All those factors feed on each other until there is a feedback loop that dooms the shoulder to more compression, more impingement, and more pain.
My point is, pain shows up in the body for very predictable reasons, and random occurrence really isn't one of them.
Truth #2 Doctors treat Shoulder Impingement like a medical issue, but really it's just caused by tight muscles.
Don't get me wrong.
Shoulder Impingement can be a serious problem, not to be ignored.
A Shoulder Impingement can cause A LOT of pain and problem.
But almost always, Shoulder Impingement is a symptom.
And all symptoms have an underlying cause.
Doctors treat Shoulder Impingement like it is the cause of resulting problems.
Thus they perform surgery and other bad-for-the-body procedures.
But that doesn't fix the underlying factors that caused the Shoulder Impingement that was causing problems.
Shoulder Impingement is caused by tight muscles of the shoulder cuff structure, and because they are tight, they clamp down and basically compress the arm and shoulder into each other, and down into the ribcage.
Surgery doesn't make muscles relax.
But then, neither do the other usual methods of treatment like rest, anti-inflammatories, corticosteroid shots, splints and arm slings, etc.

It probably won't go away or heal without the RIGHT treatment.
The body is always either on an Upward Spiral, or a Downward Spiral.
If you have been on a Downward Spiral of increasing tightness and pain, chances are it's not just going to get better all on its own.
And surgery may help you feel better for a little while or a long while, depending on your situation and what exactly the surgeon cuts into, or cuts out of you.
My point is, you have to do something to stop the Downward Spiral.
Some things, like surgery, can increase the problem.
You need to reverse the problem by making the tight muscles that are compressing the structure relax and open up.
But it's not just muscles.
It's connective tissue too.
There is an entire dynamic at play.
Make sure that you use the RIGHT methods to fix the problem, not the wrong methods.
