Introduction: Rotator cuff disorders are commonly caused by the deteriorated tendons from squeezing and rubbing against bone that can lead to bleeding and inflammation. The squeezed tendons often develop scar tissues that are less flexible and loss in strength. The damaged tendons over time could ultimately tear and are a major cause of the chronic shoulder pain that frequently results in a loss of strength and stability of the shoulder [1]. The typical formulation of the patients’ treatment…
