is a clinical syndrome which occurs when the tendons of the rotator cuff muscles become irritated and inflamed as they pass through the subacromial space, This can result in pain, weakness and loss of movement at the shoulder

Causes

The rotator cuff muscle tendons pass through a narrow space between the acromion process of the scapula and the head of the humerus. Anything which causes further narrowing of this space can result in impingement syndrome. This can be caused by bony structures such as subacromial spurs (bony projections from the acromion),. Thickening or calcification of the coracoacromial ligament can also cause impingement. Loss of function of the rotator cuff muscles, due to injury or loss of strength, may cause the humerus to move superiorly, resulting in impingement.

Signs and symptoms

• pain, weakness and a loss of movement at the affected shoulder. The pain is often worsened by shoulder overhead movement and may occur at night, especially if the patient is lying on the affected shoulder.
• grinding or popping sensation during movement of the shoulder
• Range of motion will be reduced

According to ayurveda the whole body movements are controlled by vata.in this case it’s a joint disorder where the normal function is blocked by different factors either external or internal,they are called aaganthu(external) and nija(internal) Which will be blocking vata dosha and inturn vitating the dosha leading to a condition of decresed movements,the symptoms manifest according to the causative factor,

Treatment varies depending on the condition of doshic predominance .there will be external treatments which increases the mobility of the joint and inturn increase the range of movemnet,the internal medicines are mainly to reduce the causative factors and to restore the circulation We are having special bandages and treatment modalities to get maximum results
