Understanding Rotator Cuff Injuries
The rotator cuff is essential for shoulder movement and stability. Understanding the causes and types of tears is crucial for proper treatment and recovery.
Why Did My Rotator Cuff Tear?
Rotator Cuff tears are often times caused by the onset of age, while genetics may also play a role. Dr Kruse discusses the question many of his patients ask and why does a rotator cuff really tear.
Acute vs. Chronic Rotator Cuff Tears
Acute rotator cuff tears indicate that there’s an injury. Someone who was lifting some very heavy weights or they had a fall or some sort of trauma to their shoulder which tore the rotator cuff.
