Rotator Cuff Impingement
S Inflammation of the rotator cuff due to compression of the tendon complex by the overlying acromial arch, causing pain and swelling of the bursa and tendons below. This may lead to a partial or complete rotator cuff tear, allowing bursal and tendon inflammation to worsen.
The result …
Chronic Shoulder Pain!
