Tennis Shoulder
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
So-called tennis shoulder is an overuse injury that affects the tendons and structures of the shoulder, common in people who perform repeated overhead movements.
Why does it happen? It usually appears from repetitive arm motions in racket sports or work activities that overload the tendons of the joint.
Common symptoms: shoulder pain when moving the arm, discomfort when raising it, weakness, and sometimes difficulty sleeping on that side.
Which specialist treats it? The orthopedist and the sports medicine specialist are the main point of reference, with support from the physical therapist during recovery. If your shoulder pain persists or limits your activity, it is advisable to get it checked so that a professional can evaluate the area.
