In some cases of a rotator cuff injury, all that's necessary is rest, icing, and physical therapy. In some other cases, the best treatment option may be a surgical one like a shoulder replacement. However, there's a very good chance a conservative treatment will work just fine for you. Physical therapy, for example, can help restore flexibility and strength to the shoulder, and help it heal. Often, physical therapy is necessary for a tear or related injury. Steroid injections or certain prescription medications can provide pain relief. In some cases, regenerative medicine may work for a patient. At Specialty Medical Center, we want to help you avoid surgery, so we offer noninvasive or minimally invasive treatment.
