Rotator Cuff Tears

Rotator cuff tears involve damage to the group of four muscles and their tendons surrounding the shoulder joint, which help lift and rotate the arm. These tears can result from injury, overuse, or degeneration over time. Symptoms typically include shoulder pain, weakness, and limited motion, making it difficult to perform everyday activities. Treatment options range from physical therapy to improve strength and flexibility, to surgical repair for more severe tears. Early diagnosis and appropriate management are important to restore shoulder function and reduce discomfort.
