Rotator Cuff Injury & Shoulder Pain Treatment at AMI Clinic Bedford

Shoulder pain can be caused by a number of factors, however most of the time is it caused by an irritation to or an injury of the rotator cuff muscles.
 
The rotator cuff is made up of four muscles and their tendons, which connect the shoulder blade to the long bone in the upper arm forming the shoulder joint. One of the key roles of these muscles is to stabilise and hold the shoulder joint in place when we use our arm(s).
 
A rotator cuff injury is an injury to, or inflammation of one or more of the muscles and tendons that make up your rotator cuff.
