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.

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.
