Rotator Cuff Injury

📖What is Rotator Cuff Injury?

Rotator Cuff Injury refers to damage to the group of muscles and tendons that surround the shoulder joint, providing stability and enabling the wide range of motion characteristic of the shoulder. Injuries range from mild inflammation and tendinitis to partial or complete tears of the tendons, which can result from either a sudden traumatic injury or gradual wear over time from repetitive overhead activity. The condition is particularly common among athletes involved in throwing or overhead sports, as well as older adults due to age-related degeneration of the tendons. Symptoms can significantly limit shoulder function and interfere with daily activities like reaching or lifting.
