#Jae Orthopedic Clinic #Rotator Cuff Tear #Rotator Cuff Tear Exercise Treatment Rotator cuff injuries occur due to overuse of the arm. Movements such as lifting the arm or twisting the shoulder can cause the tendon to rub against the shoulder bone, known as the acromion. This friction between the tendon and the bone, causing tendon damage, is called shoulder impingement syndrome. If shoulder impingement persists, the tendon can tear, potentially leading to a rotator cuff tear. Early management and treatment of shoulder impingement syndrome can prevent rotator cuff tears. Regularly engaging in strengthening exercises for the shoulder tendons is recommended. If pain persists despite exercise therapy, treatment to restore the damaged tendon is necessary. Non-surgical treatments can often provide significant symptom relief. Typical non-surgical treatments include bio-collagen injections and the PIMS procedure. Bio-collagen injections involve injecting a special, biologically synthesized collagen into the rotator cuff tear area under local anesthesia. It helps restore damaged rotator cuff muscles by stimulating tendon tissue synthesis. However, because precise injection of collagen into the correct location is crucial, it's best to receive the treatment from an experienced medical professional. If shoulder joint inflammation worsens and stiffness occurs, the PIMS procedure may be considered. This procedure uses a special, round-tipped needle to remove inflammation and release adhesions. Releasing inflammatory adhesions increases the shoulder's range of motion, allowing for easier use of the arm. In this Health Chosun Disease Encyclopedia, we meet Dr. Seo Hee-soo, Director of Jeae Orthopedics, to learn more about rehabilitation exercises for shoulder pain and non-surgical treatments that can help with severe pain that interferes with daily life. /Health Chosun Editorial Team [email protected]
