Rotator Cuff Injury

Rotator Cuff Injury

The rotator cuff consists of the four muscles and their tendons that help to keep your shoulder joint in place.  Given the complexity of this arrangement and the amount of stress we put on the shoulder it is not surprising that as we get older things can go wrong.

The first sign that you may be suffering from arotator cuff injury is pain in the shoulder joint. If the pain is not too severe with no loss of strength and goes away after 2 to 3 days using self-help remedies such as pain-killers, then the chances are you have rotator cuff inflammation. If the pain does not go after a couple of days and you have a reduction in strength and/or range of movement then it may be something more serious such as tendonitis or impingement. Rotator Cuff Injury  will help you determine what type of rotator cuff injury you might have and what to do about it
