Rotator Cuff Tendonitis

Struggling with shoulder pain when reaching overhead, lifting objects, or sleeping on your side? You may be experiencing rotator cuff tendonitis—a common condition that causes inflammation in the tendons of the shoulder. At Theracave, we help patients recover from shoulder injuries like rotator cuff tendonitis through targeted physical therapy that reduces pain, restores strength, and improves mobility.

Rotator cuff tendonitis often develops over time due to overuse or poor mechanics. If left untreated, it can lead to more serious conditions like rotator cuff tears or frozen shoulder. Identifying symptoms early and starting the right treatment plan is key to long-term recovery.

Q&A

Rotator cuff tendonitis is inflammation of the tendons in the shoulder that help control movement and stability. It commonly affects people who use their arms for repetitive tasks or overhead activities, leading to pain and limited mobility.

Yes, most cases of rotator cuff tendonitis can be treated successfully without surgery. Physical therapy, rest, ice, activity modification, and strengthening exercises often lead to full recovery over time.

Recovery time can vary based on severity, but many people start to see improvement within 4–6 weeks of consistent physical therapy. Full recovery may take several months, especially if the condition has been present for a long time.

Ignoring symptoms can lead to worsening inflammation, chronic pain, and eventually a tendon tear. It can also result in reduced shoulder mobility and strength, affecting everyday activities and work.
