What is Rotator Cuff Tendinitis?
Rotator cuff tendinitis, also known as shoulder impingement syndrome, is a condition characterized by inflammation or irritation of the tendons in the rotator cuff of the shoulder. The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that surround the shoulder joint, providing stability and enabling various movements, such as lifting and rotating the arm.
When the tendons of the rotator cuff become inflamed or irritated, it can cause pain and discomfort in the shoulder. This inflammation is often a result of repetitive or excessive use of the shoulder, leading to micro-traumas or small tears in the tendons. Over time, these repetitive stresses and minor injuries can lead to chronic inflammation and the development of rotator cuff tendinitis.
