Tennis, golf, skiing, football and even home maintenance work are just some of the activities that can be the cause of shoulder injuries.
The rotator cuff is comprised of a group of muscles and tendons that cross the top and the back of the shoulder and attach onto the bone at the top of the shoulder joint.
Activities that require repetitive overhead motions or sustained postures can result in inflammation of these tendons and pain due to tendinitis.
The most common shoulder injuries include:
- Impingement Syndrome – Is when the rotator cuff tendons become pinched in the joint due to either inflammation or arthritic changes.
- Bursitis – Inflammation of the burs (fluid filled sacs) around the shoulder that are present to provide cushioning.
- Muscle Strain – This can occur in the upper shoulder muscles such as the upper trapezius or in the deltoid muscle at the side of the sho
