Rotator Cuff Injury Treatment for Active Adults in Singapore

What is a Rotator Cuff Injury?

A rotator cuff injury occurs when the group of muscles and tendons around your shoulder joint become strained, inflamed, or torn. This condition is common among active individuals who engage in repetitive overhead motions, such as athletes and fitness enthusiasts.


Symptoms of a Rotator Cuff Injury

  • Persistent shoulder pain, especially during movement.
  • Weakness in the arm or shoulder.
  • Difficulty lifting objects or performing overhead activities.
  • Clicking or popping sensations in the shoulder joint.

Standard Treatments for Active Adults

  1. Medication: Temporary pain relief without addressing the underlying cause.
  2. Physiotherapy: Focused exercises to regain strength and mobility.
  3. Injections: Corticosteroids to reduce inflammation temporarily.
  4. Surgery: Recommended for severe tears; involves significant recovery time.

While these treatments can be helpful, active individuals often feel frustrated by the slow recovery process and limited results without a proper diagnosis.


Why Imaging is Crucial for Athletes and Fitness Enthusiasts

  • X-rays to rule out fractures or arthritis.
  • MRIs for detailed imaging of tendons and muscles.
  • Ultrasounds to assess soft tissue damage.

Accurate imaging helps ensure the right treatment plan, avoiding wasted time and unneeded suffering.
