Shoulder impingement syndrome, a prevalent condition causing pain and restricting mobility, arises when shoulder muscles are caught between the bones of the shoulder area.
This syndrome often affects people who engage in activities requiring repetitive overhead motions.

This specialized care extends to the communities of Southlake, Grapevine, Colleyville, Westlake, and Trophy Club, aiming to restore function and alleviate pain.
