The Rotator Cuff is a group of muscles that firmly hold the upper arm bone and allow for its extended movements. An injury to the Rotator Cuff is most commonly a result of repetitive overhead movements, such as while playing basketball or tennis. It may also be caused due to a fall on an outstretched hand, incorrect lifting habits, bone spurs, injury while trying to catch or lift a heavy object, falling on the shoulder etc.

According to the shoulder surgeons at OrthoTexas, Frisco, a Rotator Cuff Tear may require surgical or non-surgical treatment depending upon the severity of the injury. They may prescribe one or more of the following options:

Taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications to eliminate pain and tenderness.

Giving ample rest to the affected shoulder may allow the muscles to heal on their own. A shoulder brace may be worn to restrict the movement of the joint.

Physical therapy may be helpful to restore the joint’s strength and range of motion.

Surgery may also be required if the symptoms do not subside with conservative treatment options.
