Rotator Cuff Tendinosis is a relatively common form of tendinosis that is caused by the overuse of the rotator cuff as a result of repetitive overactivity, age, or genetics. On a structural level, tendinosis means that your affected tendon has structurally changed due to its overuse and will potentially, over time, tear. Rotator cuff tendinosis is most commonly found in adults and often identified by the patient experiencing chronic shoulder pain and/or the following symptoms:
- Joint stiffness
- Inflammation or swelling of the shoulder
- Severe pain that may hinder your movement
- Noticeable weakness in your arm and shoulder
- Cracking or grating noise when moving your rotator cuff and shoulder
Since the blood supply to tendons is rather low, recovery time can sometimes take up to three to six months, depending on the severity of your tendinosis and proactiveness in seeking medical attention. Through physical therapy and other treatments prescribed by Nittany Valley Chiropractic Center, we work hard to get you feeling better and fully recovered as quickly as possible.
