Rotator Cuff
Non-Surgical Treatment of Rotator Cuff Tears
The rotator cuff is a crucial component of shoulder anatomy, comprising four muscles and their associated tendons that envelop the shoulder joint. These muscles—supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis—originate from the scapula (shoulder blade) and attach to the humerus (upper arm bone). Collectively, they stabilize the glenohumeral joint by securing the humeral head within the shallow glenoid cavity of the scapula, facilitating a wide range of shoulder movements, including abduction, internal rotation, and external rotation.
