Rotator cuff tendinitis is the irritation or inflammation of the tendons that surround and stabilize the shoulder joint. It is a frequent cause of shoulder pain, especially when raising the arm or performing repeated movements.

Frequent symptoms: pain in the outer part of the shoulder, discomfort when lifting the arm or when sleeping on that side, and a feeling of weakness or limited movement.

Associated factors: it is usually related to repetitive exertion, certain sports, sustained postures, or the wear that comes with age.

Who to see? The orthopedist and the trauma surgeon evaluate the joint, while physical therapy supports the recovery of movement. If shoulder pain persists or limits your activities, a professional evaluation helps define the most suitable path for you.
