Treatment of Rotator Cuff Injuries

Rotator cuff injuries involve damage to the group of muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder. Treatment typically starts with rest and physical therapy to improve strength and flexibility. Ice and anti-inflammatory medications can help reduce pain and swelling. In persistent cases, a doctor may recommend corticosteroid injections or, in severe situations, surgery to repair the torn tendon. Recovery can take time, and follow-up rehabilitation is crucial for restoring shoulder function and preventing future injuries. Always consult a healthcare professional for a personalized treatment plan.
