Rotator Cuff Tendonitis

Rotator Cuff Tendonitis:

• Also known as supraspinatus tendonitis, subdeltoid bursitis, subacromial bursitis, and partial tear of rotator cuff.
• The four rotator cuff tendons provide the shoulder with mobility and stability.
• These tendons internally and externally rotate and abduct the arm.
• Repeated overhead motions result in wear and tear of the tendons as they pass between the humerus and acromion process.
• Symptoms include a dull aching sensation over the tendon, discomfort with specific movements, and tenderness to touch.
