What Is a Rotator Cuff Injury?

The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder joint and help control arm movements. These structures play a critical role in lifting, reaching, throwing, and rotating the arm.

A rotator cuff injury occurs when one or more of these tendons become irritated, inflamed, strained, or torn. Rotator cuff injuries can range from mild tendon irritation to complete tendon tears.

Without proper treatment, shoulder pain and weakness can worsen over time and significantly impact daily activities.
