Calcific Tendonitis of the Shoulder

What is Calcific Tendonitis?

Calcific Tendonitis is a condition caused by the build-up of calcium deposits in muscles or tendons. Individuals suffering from this condition may feel pain and discomfort in the affected area, which could vary in severity.

Although this condition can occur in other parts of the body, the most common area to be affected by it is the rotator cuff. This a group of muscles and tendons which are used to provide strength and stability to the upper arm and shoulder. The build-up of calcium in this region could result in restricted arm movements, and so individuals who play sports with overhead motions, such as basketball or tennis, can be quite susceptible to Calcific Tendonitis of the shoulder.
