Who is most likely to get a rotator cuff injury? Are you an athlete who frequently uses overhead movements, or are you noticing shoulder pain as you age? Is chronic shoulder pain affecting your daily activities or quality of life? If any of these questions resonate with you, you're not alone. Rotator cuff injuries are a common source of discomfort and limitation, particularly in two specific groups of people: athletes and the elderly. In this video, I’ll dive into the causes, risk factors, and potential treatments for rotator cuff injuries, especially if you’re experiencing chronic shoulder pain.
As an athlete, you are highly susceptible to rotator cuff injuries due to the repetitive overhead motions involved in sports such as baseball, basketball, or tennis. These movements place tremendous strain on the shoulder, making athletes prime candidates for rotator cuff tears and tendinitis. Whether you're a professional or a weekend warrior, the risk is there, and ignoring early signs of discomfort can lead to long-term issues. On the other hand, rotator cuff problems also tend to affect older individuals. As we age, the rotator cuff tendons naturally become thinner and more fragile, leading to what we call "chronic" or "microscopic" tears. The elderly often experience these tears without realizing the extent of the damage, only noticing when the pain becomes unbearable or their range of motion is significantly limited.
But it’s not just athletes and the elderly at risk. Those who engage in regular overhead work, such as construction workers or flight attendants, are also prone to developing rotator cuff injuries. Repeated lifting, pulling, or pushing in an overhead position weakens the shoulder over time, often leading to the kind of chronic shoulder pain that can impact job performance and day-to-day tasks.
In this video, we'll explore non-surgical treatment options for rotator cuff injuries at Regenexx Pittsburgh. Many believe surgery is the only option, but we focus on restoring function and relieving pain without invasive procedures. Whether you have a degenerative tear or an acute injury, our goal is to help you regain strength and mobility. We'll discuss lifestyle changes, regenerative treatments like platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and bone marrow concentrate, advanced imaging, and how we customize treatments for your specific needs. If you're ready to explore alternatives to surgery, this video is for you.
