Torn Rotator Cuff from a Car Accident

Car accidents that produce a torn rotator cuff are often the result of how the victim positioned their body to protect themselves from harm. Most accident victims push their arms in front of their body or grip their steering wheel tightly to prevent themselves from lunging forward. These types of reactions put your body in a tense position, which makes you more susceptible to soft tissue injuries and torn rotator cuffs.

Signs and Symptoms Of Torn Rotator Cuffs

Patients who tear their rotator cuff notice sharp, pulsating pain that spreads through their entire chest, neck, and shoulder areas. Depending on the circumstances and the depth of the injury, torn rotator cuffs can make it extremely difficult to obtain a complete night’s rest, lift your arms above your shoulders, and can cause weakness or the inability to grip small objects. If there are cracking noises associated with the pain, you should contact AICA College Park for immediate treatment.

Diagnosing Torn Rotator Cuff Injuries

To diagnose torn rotator cuffs, our Chiropractors rely on imaging devices like CT Scans and X-rays to pinpoint the exact depth and source of the injury. At AICA College Park, we have a variety of imaging devices on-site that allow our team to develop the most appropriate, comprehensive treatment program that aligns with each patient’s health needs.
