Effective treatment options for rotator cuff tear
Rotator cuff tear or rupture of the shoulder is a common condition that affects the tendons in the shoulder joint. The rotator cuff is a group of four tendons that surround the shoulder and help to stabilize and move the joint. When one or more of these tendons become torn or completely ruptured, it can result in pain, weakness, and restricted movement of the shoulder. This condition is often caused by repetitive overhead activities, aging, or trauma. Symptoms may include aching or sharp pain in the shoulder, difficulty lifting or reaching, and a clicking or popping sensation. If left untreated, a rotator cuff tear can lead to further damage and loss of function in the shoulder. Treatment options may include physical therapy, medication, or in severe cases, surgery. Early diagnosis and intervention are key to managing this condition effectively and preventing long-term complications.
