Rotator Cuff Injury

If you’ve been suffering from shoulder pain, restricted movement, or even weakness, you might be dealing with a rotator cuff injury. Whether it’s from an injury, overuse, or age-related wear and tear, rotator cuff injuries can significantly impact your quality of life. At Isleworth Pain and Injury Clinic, we specialise in providing comprehensive treatment options to relieve your pain and restore your shoulder function.

What Is a Rotator Cuff Injury and What Causes It?

The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles and tendons that stabilise the shoulder joint and allow for a wide range of motion. When one or more of these tendons are damaged, torn, or inflamed, it results in a rotator cuff injury.

Common causes of rotator cuff injuries include:

Repetitive overhead movements (e.g, in sports like tennis or swimming)
Sudden trauma or falls
Age-related degeneration (common in those over 40)
Poor posture or improper lifting techniques

Symptoms of a rotator cuff injury may include:

Pain or tenderness in the shoulder
Difficulty raising the arm or reaching overhead
Weakness in the shoulder
A clicking or popping sound when moving the shoulder

If left untreated, a rotator cuff injury can lead to long-term pain and disability. That’s why early intervention is key.

How We Help with Chiropractic Care and Physiotherapy

At Isleworth Pain and Injury Clinic, we take a holistic approach to treating rotator cuff injuries by combining chiropractic care and physiotherapy for effective pain relief and rehabilitation.

Chiropractic care helps to realign the spine and improve joint function, which can reduce strain on the shoulder and promote better healing.

Physiotherapy focuses on rehabilitating the shoulder by strengthening the rotator cuff muscles, improving mobility, and reducing inflammation.

Both therapies work together to provide fast pain relief while addressing the root cause of the injury, ensuring long-term recovery and reduced risk of re-injury.
