Yes! The first step in this treatment will be to realign your spine Specifically focusing on the thoracic and cervical region as well as the shoulder joints, and make sure there are no abnormalities that could be causing or exacerbating the impingement. This can help to reduce normal wear and tear on the affected shoulder joint.
It's a good place to start. I recommend you look for a chiropractor who does ART (Active Release Techniques). www.Activerelease.com

When the posterior capsule is tightened, it can make the shoulder difficult to move. A professional chiropractor, however, is trained to release the tension here to allow for greater shoulder mobility. This will naturally reduce some of the pain and mobility problems caused by shoulder impingement.
Yes, Chiropractors are very well trained in fixing shoulder impingement, especially Sports Chiropractors.
