Rotator cuff tear
Greetings Rotator cuff tear is a common shoulder injury. The initial treatment may be conservative. I.e. Use of ice , anti inflammatory medications and home exercise plan ( to avoid frozen shoulder ) Physical therapy is very useful in improving range of motion and restoring strength to the injured shoulder. Steroid injection provides additional benefit. If all conservative measures fail to Improve the condition , surgery may be considered. The degree and the severity of the shoulder damage is a good indicator to determine whether to consider conservative or aggressive measures ( ie surgery ) Your Doctor will be able to evaluate and determine the best treatment approach to your shoulder condition. Please directly communicate with your physician and express your concerns and questions clearly. I hope the above information was helpful. Hessam Noralahi M.D READ MORE
