The term rotator cuff tear refers to a disruption in one or more of these muscle tendons. The rotator cuff allows the shoulder to move in front, back and swinging motions associated with normal shoulder function. In daily life, the supraspinatus is the tendon that receives the most use and is the most vulnerable to injury. Thus, most rotator cuff tears begin with a slight tear in the supraspinatus tendon fibers, In most instances, but not always, the body repairs the break. Over time, the small tear can become wider and deeper. If still small, you develop supraspinatus tendinditis. If the tear becomes sufficiently large, you experience both pain and loss of motion that are the features of a rotator cuff tear. Diagnosis comes out of the nature of your pain, the limits of shoulder movement on examination, and the findings from imaging studies such as shoulder x-ray, ultrasound, and MRI. Treatment includes physical therapy to strengthen surrounding muscles, and/or intra-articular injections to ease pain and remove joint fluid from further blocking shoulder motion. The final choice is shoulder surgery. Advances in shoulder replacements are ongoing, however, outcomes are uncertain. Furthermore, rehabilitation can take months, and in the elderly may be stressful. Thus, physical therapy remains the mainstay of therapy. www, drjjwGiss.yourmd.com ,w^w^w,firfBfrarfgs • 3 Year Preschool • 4 Year Preschool 'A '4 Year Extended Day Option OVERNIGHT FUN TRIPS PREMIER PACKAGES Wa A Cooperative Preschoo - $50 FREE Gash & Tokens! • $70 FREE Cash & Tokens! 30330 Schoolcraft Road • Livonia Deluxe Motorcoach Transportation • Deluxe Motorcoach Transportation • Free Breakfast Buffet • 2 Free Breakfast Buffets , OPEN HOUSES • $10 in Food Coupons • $10 in Food Coupons • Overnight Stay at Kewadtn " 2 Nights Stay at Kewadin Thursday, July 19th 10:00-12:00 Casino Hotel Casino Hotel Thursday, August 16th 6:00-8:00 pm • 1 Free Dinner Buffet Sun day-Thursday Friday or.Saturriay Sunday-Thursday Friday or Saturday / AFFORDABLE Tuition!!! / Certified teacher with a Masters in Literacy ?119 $125 *199 >215 / Potty Training NOT Required ' «* / Individualized Attention * CALL ONE 01= OUR FRIENDLY REPRESENTATIVES TO RECEIVE BUS SCHEDULES J AND TO ANSWER ALL YOUR TRAVEL NEEDS. / Non-religious education ALL RATES ARE BASED ON DOUBLE OCCUPANCY AND AVAILABILITY.
