WHAT CAUSES SHOULDER PAIN IN GOLF AND SPORTS AND TENDINITIS IN THE SHOULDER JOINT

WHAT CAUSES SHOULDER PAIN IN GOLF AND SPORTS AND TENDINITIS IN THE SHOULDER JOINT





What is a rotator cuff anyway? The shoulder is composed of an assemblage of muscles and tendons that form a flexible but not too stable joint, the rotator cuff. Golfers as well as athletes and weekend athletes and those in sports can put extra pressure on the rotator cuff. The shoulder joint and the rotator cuff can be hard to understand. One topic the doctor discusses in this video about the shoulder is tendinitis in a golfer's shoulder. The rotator cuff muscles of the shoulder and their tendons are very active throughout the golf swing.

Shoulder problems in golf are commonly overuse injuries
. Strains occur when the muscle or tendon is pulled but does not completely tear. Inflammation of the rotator cuff tendons, or tendinitis, and even tears of the rotator cuff can occur with overuse or poor swing mechanics. The doctor also discusses tears of the tendons in the rotator cuff and dislocation of the shoulder. He talks about separation of the shoulder in biking and skiing.






If an engineer were to try to improve the architecture of the human shoulder, they would probably design something more solid to support the upper shoulder. As it is, the upper shoulder depends for stability largely on 4 muscles and their tendons which together form the "rotator cuff". A tendon is a length of tissue that anchors the muscle to a bony support. The rotator cuff helps to lift and rotate the arm.
