Tendinitis affects the most critical tendon in your rotator cuff – the one responsible for lifting your arm and maintaining shoulder stability. Unlike general shoulder pain, this condition creates a specific “painful arc” between 60-120 degrees of arm movement.
The tendon sits in a narrow space where it’s vulnerable to compression and irritation. When inflamed, simple activities like reaching overhead, sleeping on your side, or even brushing your hair become painful reminders of your injury.
Understanding the biomechanics behind your pain is the first step toward effective treatment. That’s where our specialized approach makes the difference.
