What is the cause of my rotator cuff condition?
Rotator cuff conditions typically result from damage to the muscles and tendons that stabilize your shoulder joint. The causes can vary, but common factors include:
- Repetitive overhead movements: Activities that involve lifting, reaching, or throwing can strain the rotator cuff, leading to tears or inflammation.
- Injury or trauma: A sudden injury, such as a fall or lifting something heavy, can cause rotator cuff tears.
- Age-related wear and tear: As we age, the tendons in the rotator cuff can degenerate, making them more prone to injury, especially in individuals over 40.
- Poor posture or shoulder mechanics: Improper movement patterns or poor posture can place excessive stress on the rotator cuff, leading to pain and damage over time.
- Bone spurs: Over time, bone spurs can develop on the shoulder bones, rubbing against the rotator cuff tendons and causing irritation or tears.
If you’re experiencing persistent symptoms, contact Dr. Dennis Ng today for an accurate diagnosis and tailored treatment plan.
