Shoulder Bursitis Injury

Shoulder Bursitis Injury

Shoulder bursitis is a common cause of shoulder pain that is often related to rotator cuff injury and tendonitis. This condition is sometimes called shoulder impingement syndrome. Shoulder bursitis can occur as a result of the Subacromial bursa being squashed or ‘impinged' between the rotator cuff muscles (Supraspinatus, Subscapularis, Infraspinatus and Teres Minor) and the bone, during repeated overhead shoulder movements.

Common Shoulder Bursitis signs & symptoms:

• Shoulder pain when raising the arm up.
• Limited shoulder movement.
• Pain on touching or lying on the tip of the shoulder.
