Bursitis


Like all the other rotator cuff injuries Bursitis is a result of overuse and/or injury. The bursa (fluid filled pads that act as cushions in the shoulder joint) becomes inflamed leading to friction. As with the other rotator cuff injuries improper technique in sports is one of the primary causes. Resulting in the over load on rotator cuff tissue at the arm bone(humerus) and shoulder socket (glenoid).
