The treatment for Torn Rotator Cuff usually begins from conservative approach to surgical approach. The choice depends on whether the symptoms of torn rotator cuff involved is one as mild, chronic or acute. Conservative treatment consists of rest and limited mobility to the injured shoulder, anti-inflammatory and pain medication, the use of a sling, injection of steroid and physical therapy rehabilitation. Also strengthening exercises are important component of recovery treatment for torn rotator cuff muscles. Conservative approach is the best treatment option for minor shoulder injury and to relieve the early manifestations of the symptoms.
Rotator cuff pain is treated in many different ways, depending on the severity of the injury. The rotator cuff is the group of muscles that attach to the shoulder blade and the humerus head, and when they contract they cause shoulder rotation and abduction.
Most rotator cuff injuries are actually injuries to the tendon part of the muscle group, just proximal to the insertion point on the humerus. This part of the tendon often gets torn or irritated as it passes under the acromion process of the shoulder blade.
Treatment should be directed at reducing tightness and tenderness in the bellies of the rotator cuff muscles, reducing the inflammation in the tendon, and then increasing strength in the muscles.
If the tear in the tendon is substantial, the conservative treatment above may not work, and surgical re-attachment or repair might be indicated.
