The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that help stabilize and move the shoulder joint. A rotator cuff tear can occur due to sports injuries, falls, repetitive overhead activities, or age-related wear and tear.
Common symptoms include shoulder pain, weakness, difficulty lifting the arm, and discomfort while sleeping on the affected side. If left untreated, the condition can worsen and significantly affect daily activities.
Treatment options range from physiotherapy and medications to advanced arthroscopic repair surgery, depending on the severity of the tear. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment can help restore shoulder strength and mobility.
At Dr. Rathod's Ortho Clinic, we provide comprehensive care for shoulder injuries, helping patients return to pain-free movement and active living.
