The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder joint and allow for smooth, controlled movement of the arm. A rotator cuff injury occurs when these muscles or tendons are torn, strained, or inflamed, leading to pain and limited mobility.<\/p>\n

Causes<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Overuse or Repetitive Movements: Common in athletes (e.g., swimmers, tennis players) or workers performing repetitive overhead motions.<\/li>\n
  2. Acute Trauma: Falling on an outstretched arm or lifting heavy objects.<\/li>\n
  3. Degenerative Changes: Age-related wear and tear that weakens the tendons.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Symptoms<\/strong><\/p>\n

  4. Persistent pain, especially during movement or at rest.<\/li>\n
  5. Weakness in the shoulder, making it difficult to lift or rotate the arm.<\/li>\n
  6. Clicking or popping sensations during shoulder movement.<\/li>\n
  7. Reduced range of motion.\n

    Diagnosis<\/strong><\/p>\n

  8. Physical Examination: Assessing pain, range of motion, and strength.<\/li>\n
  9. Imaging Tests: X-rays, ultrasound, or MRI to identify tears or inflammation.<\/li>\n

    Treatment Options<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Conservative Management-<\/p>\n

  10. Rest and activity modification.<\/li>\n
  11. Ice packs to reduce swelling.<\/li>\n
  12. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for pain relief.<\/li>\n
  13. Physical therapy to restore strength and mobility.<\/li>\n

    Injections-
    \nCorticosteroid injections may be used for severe pain.<\/p>\n

    Surgical Intervention-<\/p>\n

  14. Recommended for large tears or injuries unresponsive to conservative treatment.<\/li>\n
  15. Techniques include arthroscopic surgery or open repair.<\/li>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
