Rotator Cuff Stuff

Dr. John Urse Season 1 Episode 7

A rotator cuff tear is a common cause of pain and disability among adults. Each year, almost 2 million people in the United States visit their doctors because of a rotator cuff problem.

A torn rotator cuff will weaken your shoulder. This means that many daily activities, like combing your hair or getting dressed, may become painful and difficult to do.

Orthopedic surgeon Dr John Urse will walk us through how to diagnose and treat rotator issues, as well as address other things that might be causing shoulder pain that are not related to the rotator cuff.
