Rotator Cuff Injury

Your rotator cuff is a group of four muscles (supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis) that pull in different directions stabilising the shoulder allowing for full range of motion. Rotator Cuff Syndrome occurs when these four muscles are not working together properly. This causes the ball and socket forming your shoulder joint to not function properly because of the unnatural pulling angles which results in pain, restricted movement and shoulder deformities, like forwards rolled shoulder or scapula winging.

Many people put up with the pain and restricted movement for years and may end up thinking surgery is the only answer, not realising chiropractic care can help. At Back Up we determine the exact mechanisms at play in your rotator cuff, correct those problems and give you active care so you can prevent further problems.
