Rotator Cuff

The rotator cuff consists of four muscles and is the primary support for the shoulder.  It is commonly injured and even minor dysfunction can result in significant pain, weakness, loss of motion, movement and performance. A rotator cuff impingement is the result of nerve irritation within the shoulder and is typically accompanied by shooting pains into the arm or hand, numbness, and/or tingling sensations. These problems can be the result of everyday common activities or by more traumatic events to the arm, such as yanking or falling on an outstretched arm, chronic improper posture, extended computer use, or repetitive motion.  

An assessment of your particular issue will determine what we do next. More severe cases often require a combined approach to address the joint mechanics and the muscular support of the shoulder.
