Abstract

Impingement, especially subacromial impingement, is one of the most frequent causes of shoulder pain. It results in soft tissue pathologies due to constriction of the subacromial space. It can lead to tendon pathologies and bursitis. In addition to the clinical examination, imaging methods such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), MRI arthrography, ultrasound and X‑ray examinations are helpful in making adiagnosis or evaluating the cause of pain. Conservative treatment approaches, such as rest, medication, physiotherapy, manual therapy and infiltrations should primarily be used. If the symptoms do not improve after 3-6months of conservative treatment, surgical treatment should be considered.
