What Are the Treatments for a Strained Rotator Cuff Muscle?
Strained muscles in the rotator cuff group may also involve the tendons that connect them to the shoulder bones. This condition, called tendinitis, occurs when the muscle or tendon tissue overexerts itself and stretches too far, separating the tissue fibers. Although painful, most shoulder injuries are mild enough to treat at home. Severe strains that tear the muscle tissue, or those that accompany additional musculoskeletal damage to the shoulder, may require medical management or surgery.
