Subacromial Impingement & Shoulder Pain Treatment in Leicester | Physiotherapy, Osteopathy & Shockwave Therapy

Subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS) is a common cause of shoulder pain where the tendons of the rotator cuff and bursa become compressed between the acromion (a bony projection of the shoulder blade) and the humeral head (top of the upper arm bone). This compression can lead to pain, inflammation, and limited range of motion, particularly during overhead activities or arm movements. Over time, subacromial impingement can cause significant discomfort and even weakness in the shoulder joint.

At Spinal Health Clinics in Glenfield, we offer comprehensive treatments for subacromial impingement and shoulder pain through a combination of physiotherapy, osteopathy, and shockwave therapy. Our goal is to reduce pain, restore proper function, and prevent further injury, especially for active individuals such as athletes and those with physically demanding jobs.

Why Choose Spinal Health Clinics for Subacromial Impingement and Shoulder Pain?

Spinal Health Clinics uses a multidisciplinary approach to treating subacromial impingement and shoulder pain. Our team of experienced osteopaths and physiotherapists work together to create a tailored treatment plan for each patient, addressing both the immediate symptoms and the underlying causes. Whether it’s through osteopathic manipulations to improve shoulder alignment, physiotherapy exercises to strengthen the shoulder muscles, or shockwave therapy to stimulate healing, we aim to reduce pain and improve movement.

Treatment Approaches for Subacromial Impingement & Shoulder Pain

  • Osteopathy: Osteopathic treatment focuses on the restoration of normal shoulder mechanics by addressing muscle imbalances and joint misalignments. Our osteopaths use manual techniques to stretch tight muscles and improve joint mobility, helping to relieve the pressure on the tendons and bursa and reduce pain associated with subacromial impingement.
  • Physiotherapy: Physiotherapy for shoulder impingement and pain focuses on strengthening the rotator cuff and shoulder stabilizer muscles. By improving strength and flexibility, physiotherapists aim to alleviate the strain on the shoulder joint and prevent further injury. Rehabilitation exercises tailored to the individual can help restore range of motion and reduce inflammation.
  • Shockwave Therapy: Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic waves to treat chronic tendon pain. It helps reduce inflammation, accelerate tissue healing, and stimulate collagen production. This therapy is particularly effective for relieving the discomfort caused by subacromial impingement and improving overall shoulder function.
