About
Our shoulders are one of the most injury-prone parts of our bodies.
Worse still, a rotator cuff injury can take quite a while to heal without proper care. Here at Global Clinic, we offer physical therapy, injectables, and pain management services to help your injury heal faster and properly. Get in touch with our Niles, Illinois office to learn more today.
What Causes a Rotator Cuff Injury?
The most common cause of a rotator cuff injury is progressive damage to the tendon tissue.
Lifting heavy weights and doing a lot of overhead exercises can cause this strain. These injuries can also occur due to a car accident or a fall. The best way to avoid these kinds of injuries is by reducing the stress on your shoulders during exercise.
