Frozen Shoulder vs Shoulder Impingement: What’s the Difference?

Although both can cause shoulder pain, they are different conditions. Shoulder impingement often causes pain during overhead movements, while frozen shoulder leads to increasing stiffness and restricted movement.

Understanding the difference is the first step towards finding the right care.

If you’re experiencing shoulder pain or stiffness, contact Backworks on 01702 342329 to find out how we can help.

Scrolling on our phones to sitting at a desk, modern life can mean spending hours in the same positions.

Over time, this can contribute to neck and back tension, stiffness, reduced mobility and fatigue.

The solution? Move more!

✅ Take regular movement breaks
✅ Stretch & improve mobility
✅ Build strength
✅ Mix up your posture

Sciatica and piriformis syndrome can cause similar symptoms, but they aren't the same. 👇

🔹 Sciatica is caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, often from a problem in the lower back. Pain typically starts in the back and travels down the leg.

🔹 Piriformis syndrome occurs when the piriformis muscle compresses the sciatic nerve. Pain usually begins in the buttock and often doesn't travel below the knee.

Getting the correct diagnosis is key to finding the right treatment and getting back to doing what you love. If your pain persists or worsens, Contact Backworks today on 01702 342329 to book an appointment.
