The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder joint and allow for a wide range of movement. These muscles work together to keep the shoulder's ball securely within its shallow socket. Proper function of the rotator cuff is essential for tasks like lifting, reaching, and even simple activities like combing your hair. Read on to learn how chiropractic care at Lake Marion Chiropractic Center in Lakeville, MN, can help with rotator cuff injuries!

Rotator cuff injuries can result from various factors, often affecting the shoulder's ability to move and function properly. Some common causes include the following:
- Tendinitis
- Bursitis
- Rotator cuff tears
