On April 1, Orthopedic Surgeon and Shoulder Specialist Rahman Kandil, MD will provide an interactive discussion about nonsurgical and surgical treatment options for shoulder pain and rotator cuff pathology. Learn about the latest advances in shoulder arthroscopy, rotator cuff repairs and shoulder replacements – one may be a viable option for you. Problems with the rotator cuff – the tendons located in the shoulder area – are common. They can include tendinitis, bursitis or tears from overuse or an injury. These conditions often make it difficult to engage in self-care and leisure activities, such as combing your hair or playing golf.
