Every day, millions of people in the United States suffer from rotator cuff injuries. According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, rotator cuff tears are one of the most common injuries among adults aged 50 and older. A torn rotator cuff can cause a variety of symptoms including pain, weakness, and limited range of motion. The good news is that a torn rotator cuff does not always require surgery; there are several non-surgical treatment options available. Many of our senior counterparts will seek a rotator cuff tear treatment without surgery due to the costs, risks, and recovery time associated with undergoing surgery.
