Laminate flooring has grown significantly in popularity, perhaps because it may be easier to install and maintain than more traditional surfaces such as hardwood flooring. It may also have the advantages of costing less and requiring less skill to install than alternative flooring materials.
Calcific Tendonitis is a condition where calcium gathers at and in a tendon. Also called 'calcified tendonitis', this can happen anywhere in the body, but most commonly shows up in the shoulder cuff tendons.
What causes shoulder tendonitis? The rotator cuff consists of four separate muscles, each of which has a tendon that attaches to different parts of the shoulder blade. These tendons form a cuff around the head of the humerus, and the muscles of this group work together to control and stabilize the shoulder. As a ball-and-socket joint, the rotator cuff helps secure the ball portion of the shoulder as the arm moves and rotates within the socket. Shoulder tendonitis occurs when these tendons are injured and become inflamed as a result. The most common cause of shoulder tendonitis is overuse of the shoulder. This means the tendons in the rotator cuff are overworked beyond what they can handle, and over time they eventually become damaged.
