Abstract OBJECTIVE: To present an evidence-based overview of the effectiveness of pharmaceutical interventions, including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, corticosteroid injections, and other injections, used to treat the subacromial impingement […]
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, corticosteroid, or other injections: a systematic review The term subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS) encompasses a wide range of disorders, including rotator cuff syndrome, tendinopathy of the various rotator cuff tendons and bursitis in the shoulder region. The prescription of analgesics (often NSAIDs) and corticosteroid injections is common in primary care. This systematic […]

Manual Therapy August 2009 Volume 14, Issue 4, Pages 375–380 Robert E. Boyle Abstract The study was an exploratory, one group pretest/post-test study, with the objective of investigating the short-term effects of thoracic spine thrust manipulations (TSTMs) on patients with shoulder impingement syndrome (SIS). There is evidence that manual physical therapy that includes TSTM and […]
