Rotator Cuff Injury Treatment in Edmonton
The rotator cuff is a group of four key muscles—Supraspinatus, Infraspinatus, Teres Minor, and Subscapularis—that stabilize the shoulder and enable smooth arm movements. These muscles originate from the scapula and connect to the top of the humerus, forming a “cuff” around the glenohumeral (GH) joint.
Rotator cuff injuries often result from repetitive overhead activities, sports, or jobs requiring constant shoulder use. These injuries are one of the most common causes of shoulder pain and functional limitations.
Common symptoms of rotator cuff injuries include:
-
Deep, dull shoulder pain
-
Pain or discomfort when sleeping on the affected shoulder
-
Difficulty combing hair or reaching behind the back
-
Arm weakness or limited range of motion
-
Pain during overhead activities
