Rotator cuff pain
Rotator cuff pain is a common condition that affects the muscles and tendons of the rotator cuff in the shoulder. The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles and their tendons that help stabilize and move the shoulder joint.
When does it Cause?
- Poor Posture: Bad posture can contribute to rotator cuff pain over time, as it can lead to abnormal stress on the shoulder joint.
- Trauma: A sudden injury, like a fall or impact, can result in rotator cuff tears or strains.
Common Symptoms
- Shoulder Stiffness: Difficulty moving the shoulder joint, especially when trying to reach overhead or behind the back.
- Pain at Night: Many people with rotator cuff pain experience discomfort, particularly when lying on the affected shoulder.
Nowadays, Physiotherapy is the best solution to get Rid of the Pain
Laser Therapy (Low-Level Laser Therapy or LT):
- Laser therapy may help reduce pain associated with RC injuries by blocking pain signals and reducing inflammation.
- It may accelerate the healing process by enhancing blood circulation and encouraging the body’s natural repair mechanisms.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy can provide temporary relief from muscle tension and pain in the shoulder and surrounding areas.
By increasing blood circulation to the affected area, may help with the healing process.
Dry Needling:
- Dry needling can help relieve muscle spasms and tightness in the shoulder and upper back, which can contribute to RC pain.
- By targeting trigger points, dry needling may help reduce pain and discomfort in the affected shoulder.
Rigid taping:
- Taping may help reduce swelling and inflammation around the RC by providing compression.
- Taping can offer psychological reassurance to individuals with RC pain.
Conclusion:
Physiotherapy plays a crucial role in the management and rehabilitation of rotator cuff pain. RC injuries can cause significant discomfort and functional limitations, but a well-designed physiotherapy program can help individuals regain strength.
