Rotator Cuff Tendinitis
Welcome to Taylor Chiropractic Rotator Cuff Tendinitis Page. We trust that you will find our Rotator Cuff Tendinitis Page useful in making your decision for Chiropractors in Clinton, MS.
Rotator cuff tendinitis involves irritation of the shoulder’s stabilizing tendons—often due to repetitive overhead use, lifting, or prolonged rounded posture. Many people in Clinton, MS notice pain reaching into cabinets, putting on a jacket, sleeping on the affected side, or lifting weights.
At Taylor Chiropractic in Clinton, MS, Dr. Virgil Taylor evaluates the shoulder along with the neck, upper back, and scapular mechanics that can influence how the rotator cuff is loaded.
Common Signs of Rotator Cuff Tendinitis
- Shoulder pain with reaching overhead or behind the back
- Discomfort lifting, pressing, or throwing
- Pain at night, especially when lying on the shoulder
- Weakness or fatigue with repetitive use
- Tightness across the chest or upper back
Why the Shoulder Gets Irritated
The shoulder depends on precise coordination between the shoulder blade, upper back, and rotator cuff tendons. When posture is forward, the upper back is stiff, or the shoulder blade doesn’t move well, the rotator cuff can become overworked—leading to inflammation and pain with daily activities.
How Chiropractic Care May Help
Conservative care often focuses on improving joint motion and muscle balance so the shoulder can move with less irritation.
- Assessment of shoulder mobility, scapular control, and posture
- Adjustments to support upper-back and rib mobility
- Soft tissue techniques for tight chest, neck, and shoulder tissues
- Rehab exercises to strengthen rotator cuff and scapular stabilizers
- Guidance for lifting technique, sleep position, and activity pacing
Support for Work, Sports, and Daily Life
Shoulder pain often becomes chronic when movement compensations go unaddressed. A focused plan can help restore confidence in overhead movement and reduce recurring flare-ups.
