Do doctors see a lot of patients with rotator cuff syndrome?

Yes: Rotator cuff syndrome is very common. The rotator cuff tendons do not have a robust blood supply. As we age, the blood supply to all tissues get subtly diminished. This affects tissues with limited blood flow the most, such as the rotator cuff. If you mix this disposition to cuff problems with the right kinds or amount of shoulder activities, you develop shoulder pain.

Very common!: Depending on the type of doctor that you see, it can be a large part of their practice. Sports medicine specialists, physiatrists, and orthopedists see it frequently.
