The rotator cuff is a critical group of four muscles and tendons that wrap securely around the head of your upper arm bone, holding it firmly inside its shoulder socket. Rotator cuff injuries—ranging from mild chronic tendonitis to acute physical tears—can happen from sudden trauma or repetitive athletic stress.
Signs of a Rotator Cuff Injury
- A prominent, weak feeling when trying to lift, push, or rotate your arm
- Sharp pain when performing overhead activities like reaching shelves or brushing hair
- Persistent, deep aching in the shoulder joint that prevents restful sleep
- Localized swelling and sharp tenderness at the front or side of the shoulder
Restoring Tissue Balance and Strength
Many rotator cuff injuries respond wonderfully to conservative, non-surgical care. Our treatment plans at Correct Connect Chiropractic focus on restoring normal joint tracking, reducing inflammation around the affected tendons, and utilizing progressive exercises to strengthen the supporting muscles safely.
