Shoulder Cuff (Rotator Cuff) Injury
A rotator cuff injury occurs when the group of muscles and tendons surrounding the shoulder joint gets inflamed, torn, or damaged. It commonly affects athletes, laborers, and elderly people, but can also happen due to a fall, sudden jerk, or repeated overhead activities.
Rotator cuff injuries can cause pain, weakness, stiffness, and difficulty lifting the arm. If left untreated, it may lead to frozen shoulder and permanent loss of movement.
