When Shoulder Pain Becomes a Daily Struggle, We’re Here to Help

Your shoulder is one of the most mobile joints in your body—and it’s all thanks to a group of muscles and tendons called the rotator cuff. This group helps you lift, rotate, and stabilize your arm. A rotator cuff tear occurs when one or more of these tendons is damaged, often due to injury, overuse, or age-related wear and tear.

Common Causes:

• Repetitive overhead activities (e.g., sports, lifting)

• Accidents or falls

• Age-related degeneration

• Sudden strain or heavy lifting

Symptoms to Watch Out For:

• Dull ache deep in the shoulder

• Weakness in the arm

• Pain while lifting or reaching overhead

• Trouble sleeping on the affected side

• Clicking or popping sounds during shoulder movement

Rotator cuff tears can be partial or complete, and ignoring them may lead to further damage or loss of shoulder function.
