Brief summary
The goal of the study is to determine the effect of radial shock wave Phonophoresis on patients with impingement syndromes. to answer the following questions: does shock wave Phonophoresis have and effect on pain? does shock wave Phonophoresis have and effect on shoulder function? does shock wave Phonophoresis have and effect on subacromial space? patients will be randomized to two groups: Group (A): patients will receive shock wave Phonophoresis plus conventional physical therapy. Group (B): Patients will receive shock wave plus conventional Physical therapy.
Interventions
patients will receive radial shock wave Phonophoresis by ibuprofen in the form of 2000 shocks, 2 bars, 8 MHz frequency plus (strengthening and stretching exercises for subraspinatus muscle).
DEVICEradial shock wave therapy plus conventional physical therapy.
patients will receive radial shock wave therapy ( 2000 shocks, 2 bars, 8 MHz), plus conventional physical therapy (strengthening and stretching exercises for subraspinatus muscle).
