DD has been pitching since 8u ( now about to be 15 ) same style with no problems. We always start up in January slowly to get ready for the new season/year. All seemed to be fine until a few weeks ago she was complaining about her shoulder hurting. Long story short, we went to the Sport's Doctor and he diagnosed Rotator Cuff Tendinitis. The Physical Therapist says she has strained 3 of the 5 ligaments in the cuff.
My question is, any idea of why this happened? Is this common for each ace pitcher ( meaning they pitch the majority of games ) to go through this at some point in their career due to more aggressive training and innings pitched? And I feel we do no more than other's have posted on this site.
Any 'home' remedies?
Any advice?
My nephew had elbow problems ( from pitching ) this past summer. He went to have the PROLOTHERAPY done and swears his arm has never felt better. The closest place is about 300 miles from here and has a 2-4 week waiting list. Has anyone on here had this procedure done?
