Understanding your health
A picture helps explain the body.
These schematic 3D illustrations show affected structures and possible areas of discomfort. Similar symptoms may have different causes; the images do not replace a medical examination.
Conditions and injuries
Shoulder impingement syndrome
Symptoms in the space beneath the acromion, which may occur particularly when raising the arm.
For orientation
Symptoms may occur when raising the arm. The image shows the affected area, not the cause of every case of shoulder pain.
Shoulder osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis of the shoulder joint, which may cause pain and restricted movement.
For orientation
Pain and stiffness may limit shoulder movement.
Subacromial decompression
Our surgical services include subacromial decompression, a procedure to enlarge the space beneath the acromion. We carefully assess whether this procedure is appropriate in each case. We discuss the expected benefits, risks and non-surgical alternatives; not every case of impingement requires surgery.
