Rotator cuff shoulder pain is really common but by the time you finish this article you will have a better idea of what to do next in your journey to recovery!

The rotator cuff muscles are a group of muscles that help stabilize the shoulder joint properly. There are 4 muscles of the rotator cuff (supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres major, subscapularis muscles).

These muscles are not the only muscles that are required to have a healthy shoulder joint. The muscles of the shoulder blade, and even the core and hips, are required for proper shoulder function.

The shoulder joint is where the head of the humerus (arm bone) inserts into the shoulder blade (scapula). This is called the glenohumeral joint.

Within the joint space lives, the shoulder labrum (cartilage) and a space that is often associated with shoulder pain is called the subacromial space.

Rotator cuff shoulder pain can happen to anyone, yet people who require more use from their arms and hands tend to suffer from it the most. Carpenters, contractors, athletes, baseball players, golfers, mechanics, and many more can suffer from rotator cuff pain.
Hi. I’m Sebastian Gonzales. I’m a sports chiropractor and Director of Care at Performance Place Sports Care in Costa Mesa, CA.

Within this article (updated in 2021), I’ll be covering what most other articles do not about shoulder pain.

Read each section in its entirety.

I’ll be packing each with great info you can not afford to NOT know.
Most of Dr. Google’s articles will cover “non-referred” shoulder pain, bursitis, labrums, impingement, rotator cuff tears, and more. I will touch on these BUT I will also cover the other 50% of shoulder pain cases that are known as “referred shoulder pain.”

You will want to know more about these since referred shoulder pain will not often respond to typical shoulder pain treatment and rehabilitation… leaving you confused about what to do next. This is super common, which is why I decided to write this article.

Don’t worry. I have you covered!

Symptoms Of Rotator Cuff Shoulder Pain
Pain associated with rotator cuff shoulder pain can present in a variety of different ways.
Shoulder pain that wakes you up at night
Pain in the shoulder as you put up or brush your hair
Difficulty reaching to overhead locations, with even light objects (cups, dishes, jackets)
Hard to wash behind your upper and lower back in the shower

Feels like a deep ache, stabbing or pinching sensation in the front or side of the shoulder
Other “unrelated” symptoms that can further give clues of when the shoulder pain you’re experiencing is referred pain or not.

Referred pain means that the symptoms of shoulder pain are not coming from a shoulder structure.

This type of presentation occurs roughly 50% of the time based upon the finding of a 2020 study by Rosedale et al in the Journal of Manipulative Therapy.

Shoulder pain can often be referred from a spinal origin, even in the absence of spinal pain.
Note: it can also be referred from an organ. The lungs, heart, and spleen are a few common.
Spinal-origin referred pain often will present in combination with 1 or more of these clues:
Failed rotator cuff tear treatment
Neck pain
Position of your head changes your level of pain
Pillow positions affects your intensity of pain
Pain between shoulder blades
Symptoms of any type below the elbow (tension, pain, stabbing, numbness, and muscle twitches to name a few)
Symmetrical pain on the opposite side of the body
Pain that moves around
Worse in the morning hours
Worse while sitting
Better while walking
No change with rotator cuff physical therapy
X rays and MRIs shows nothing is wrong
Application of KT tape on the rotator cuff helps
Cupping the shoulder helps
