Shoulder Impingement Is Misdiagnosed—Here's What's Really Happening

Is shoulder “impingement” real or is it one of the most misunderstood diagnoses in orthopedics?

In this episode of The Shoulder Blueprint, Dr. Caleb Davis and Dr. Justin Givens tackle one of the most controversial topics in shoulder care: impingement vs. subacromial pain syndrome.

• Why the classic “narrow space” theory is outdated
• What’s actually causing your shoulder pain
• The role of inflammation, bursitis, and tendinitis
• Why surgery for impingement has dramatically declined
• When MRIs help and when they create more confusion
• The truth about injections, PRP, and physical therapy
• Why many patients improve without surgery

This episode is a must-watch if you’ve been told you have “impingement,” are considering treatment options, or want a deeper, evidence-based understanding of shoulder pain.
