Rotator Cuff Tear Treatment

Restore Shoulder Strength and Function with Expert Care

A rotator cuff tear is a common shoulder injury that affects the group of muscles and tendons responsible for stabilizing the shoulder joint and allowing arm movement. Whether caused by an acute injury, repetitive overhead activity, or age-related degeneration, a rotator cuff tear can lead to significant pain, weakness, and limited mobility. At our clinic, we specialize in non-surgical and surgical treatment options to help you recover fully and regain your active lifestyle.

What Is a Rotator Cuff Tear?

The rotator cuff consists of four muscles and tendons that surround the shoulder joint. A tear can occur in one or more of these tendons due to:

• Acute injury, such as falling on an outstretched arm

• Repetitive stress, especially from overhead activities (e.g., sports or heavy lifting)

• Degenerative changes due to aging or poor posture

• Poor shoulder mechanics or previous injuries

Rotator cuff tears are classified as partial (incomplete) or full-thickness (complete) tears.

Common Symptoms

• Dull, aching pain in the shoulder

• Pain that worsens at night or when lying on the affected side

• Weakness when lifting or rotating the arm

• Limited range of motion

• Clicking or popping sensation in the shoulder

If untreated, a rotator cuff tear can lead to chronic pain, reduced shoulder function, and muscle degeneration.

Our Treatment Approach

At our clinic, we offer a comprehensive evaluation and personalized treatment plan based on the severity of your condition, activity level, and recovery goals.

1. Detailed Diagnosis

We begin with a thorough physical examination and assess your medical history. Imaging tests such as MRI, ultrasound, or X-rays are often recommended to confirm the extent of the tear and rule out other conditions.

2. Conservative (Non-Surgical) Treatment

For partial tears or less severe cases, we offer effective non-surgical options, including:

• Anti-inflammatory medications to reduce pain and swelling

• Physical therapy to strengthen the surrounding muscles and restore movement

• Activity modification to avoid stress on the shoulder

• Corticosteroid injections (if needed) for pain relief

3. Physical Rehabilitation

Our certified physiotherapists create a tailored program to:

• Improve shoulder strength and flexibility

• Promote tendon healing

• Correct posture and shoulder mechanics

• Gradually restore function without strain

4. Surgical Intervention (If Required)

If the tear is severe or does not respond to conservative treatment, surgery may be necessary. We work closely with top orthopedic surgeons who specialize in:

• Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair

• Mini-open or open repair techniques

• Post-surgical rehabilitation for optimal recovery
