Interventions
Conventional treatment
All patients in both groups will receive conventional treatment, 3 sessions per week for 3 weeks. The conventional methods for treating supraspinatus tendinitis include shoulder swings, painless range of motion (ROM) exercises, shoulder joint active-assisted exercises, resistance exercises to improve muscle strength, and pain-reducing physiotherapy modalities like ultrasound.
TECAR (Transfer of Energy Capacitive and Resistive) Therapy
Patients in the experimental group only will receive TECAR therapy, 3 sessions per week for 3 weeks. The treatment will start with an automatic capacitive energy transfer for 10 minutes. Next, the capacitive plaque will be replaced by the resistive electrode, and the neutral electrode will be fixed
