What Causes the Most Common Rotator Cuff Injuries? - Dr. Jonathan Kuttner

 

Left untreated, the symptoms of most rotator cuff injuries will become progressively worse

With most rotator cuff injuries, the supraspinatus tendon first becomes damaged in some way (trigger points, tightness, trauma, inflammation).

This leads to the overlying bursa becoming inflamed.

Normal function of the shoulder is then impossible. This is impingement.

Ongoing damage occurs to the supraspinatus tendon and bursa, each time that the arm is raised.
