What Causes Shoulder Impingement?

The shoulder is “the overachiever of the body.” It’s supposed to move in all directions — but when something isn’t doing its job (usually your scapular stabilizers or thoracic spine), the shoulder joint pays the price.
If you’ve ever felt that deep, annoying pinch in the front or top of your shoulder when reaching overhead — yeah, that’s not something to ignore. Shoulder impingement (sometimes mimicking rotator cuff tendonitis) can creep up on anyone from desk workers and weekend warriors to CrossFit athletes, swimmers, and golfers. It’s one of the most common shoulder issues we treat here at Minnesota Movement Chiropractic & Sports Rehab.

Patellar Tendonitis / Jumper's Knee

Jumper’s knee doesn’t just happen to jumpers.
Truth is, we see plenty of runners, lifters, pickleball players — even desk-jockeys — dealing with nagging pain right below their kneecap. Patellar tendinitis (or patellar tendonitis… however you like to spell it) is an overuse injury that happens when your quadriceps overpower your glutes, placing repetitive stress on the patellar tendon over time.
When this tendon gets angry, it lets you know — with sharp, achy, or burning pain right below the kneecap.

I vowed to never do this again but.. I’m running another Marathon!

I am going to run the Twin Cities Marathon this upcoming October.

Why? Because so many people are telling me not to. And I’m stubborn.

For every person telling me not to, there are 3.3 people telling me I should and cheering me on (I took a poll on Instagram so these numbers are accurate), so it’s not all negative reinforcement happening. 

But why are people telling me that I shouldn’t run this marathon?! Or what are some common reasons people are against running? And why are their reasons all wrong?
