What Is A Rotator Cuff And How Does It Get Injured
You may have heard of a rotator cuff before but you probably never needed to know what it was. The rotator cuff is an area that surrounds your shoulder joint. It is comprised of a series of muscles and tendons that keep the head of your upper arm in place within the shoulder socket. This is an important area of the body, and any injury can impair your ability to work and lead a normal life.
What Causes A Rotator Cuff To Tear
There are various ways that a rotator cuff can become injured. In some instances, a single traumatic incident affects your shoulder. This can happen due to an overextension of the shoulder joints. In these cases, an injury will likely be immediately apparent and you should seek medical attention.
However, many rotator cuff injuries and tears happen over time due to a person repeating the same motion over and over again. These injuries are considered repetitive stress injuries and can happen over long periods of time. Industries that see workers regularly suffer from rotator cuff injuries include:
- Clothing and retail
- Factory workers
- Mechanics and maintenance
How Will A Torn Rotator Cuff Affect Me
Signs and symptoms of a rotator cuff injury can include immediate pain if the injury is caused by a sudden traumatic event. More often, the symptoms will be more gradual and include:
- A dull ache deep in the shoulder
- Disturbed sleep due to pain
- Arm weakness
- Difficulty performing routine tasks associated with lifting the arm
These injuries can affect your ability to perform your work tasks as well as the things you do in your daily life.
