Symptoms typically include shoulder pain while lifting the arm and tenderness over the AC joint. Diagnosis often involves physical examinations and imaging like X-rays or MRI. If untreated, AC impingement may lead to chronic pain, osteoarthritis, or rotator cuff tears. Recovery requires a multifaceted approach, including rehabilitation exercises aimed at improving shoulder strength and flexibility. Preventative strategies include maintaining good posture and regular shoulder exercises. Athletes and individuals over 30 are commonly affected. Early medical intervention is advised to prevent complications and maintain shoulder function. Physical therapy is effective for recovery, though surgery may be necessary for severe cases. Addressing AC impingement promptly helps ensure better long-term joint health.
