Rotator Cuff Tendinitis

Rotator Cuff Tendinitis

Rotator cuff tendinitis is a common condition that causes pain, stiffness, and limited mobility in the shoulder joint. The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles and tendons that surround the shoulder joint and help to lift and rotate the arm. When these tendons become inflamed or irritated, it can cause tendinitis.

What People Are Saying

“Dr. Matt Davis from my initial visit to my follow up visit after surgery has been excellent. He spent the time with me with all my questions about my shoulder surgery and I never felt rushed. He showed and explained the details about how the surgery would progress and the post surgery details. His staff is excellent and professional. Dr Davis mended my shoulder back together with precision and care and I will be back to 100% with confidence very soon! Thanks Davis Orthopedics!”
