Conservative Care Benefits Common Shoulder Ailment

Impingement of the shoulder is best described as the pinching of soft tissue in the shoulder as one lifts their arm.

A recent literature search found that conservative treatment approaches yield satisfactory outcomes within two years in 60% of shoulder impingement cases.

The review suggests that conservative treatments should be utilized for an extended period of time before consulting a surgeon. Conservative treatment options such as manipulation, mobilization, and exercise are commonly used by doctors of chiropractic for patients with shoulder pain complaints.

The full study can be seen in the Deutsches Arzteblatt International, November 2017.
