Non-Surgical Treatments

Start With the Least-Invasive Options

Most patients improve without surgery. Our team takes a conservative-first approach with treatments designed to reduce pain, improve strength, and prevent future flare-ups.

Non-Surgical Shoulder & Elbow Treatments

  • Physical Therapy Our specialized shoulder rehabilitation program focuses on restoring range of motion and strengthening the surrounding muscles. Many patients with partial tears see significant improvement through targeted exercises and movement retraining.
    • Progressive strengthening exercises
    • Manual therapy and joint mobilization
  • Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy This regenerative treatment uses your body's own healing factors to promote tissue repair. PRP injections can help reduce inflammation and accelerate the healing process for partial rotator cuff tears.
    • Concentrated growth factors from your blood
    • Ultrasound-guided injection precision
  • Corticosteroid Injections Anti-inflammatory injections can provide significant pain relief and reduce swelling around the rotator cuff. These targeted injections can help you participate more effectively in physical therapy.
    • Image-guided injection accuracy
    • Reduced inflammation and pain relief
  • Activity Modification and Ergonomic Training Our occupational therapists help you modify daily activities and work tasks to reduce strain on your shoulder. This approach can prevent further injury while allowing healing to occur.
    • Workplace ergonomic assessments
    • Activity adaptation strategies

Many patients with partial rotator cuff tears experience significant pain relief and improved function within 8-12 weeks of starting their comprehensive treatment plan.

Rotator Cuff Repair

Watch how our fellowship-trained surgeons perform minimally invasive rotator cuff repair using advanced arthroscopic techniques.

Surgical Shoulder & Elbow Procedures

  • Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair This minimally invasive procedure uses small incisions and a tiny camera to repair torn tendons. Most patients experience less pain and faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery, with excellent long-term outcomes.
  • Mini-Open Rotator Cuff Repair For larger tears, this technique combines arthroscopic visualization with a small open incision. This approach provides excellent visualization for complex repairs while minimizing tissue trauma and scarring.
  • Reverse Shoulder Replacement For massive rotator cuff tears with arthritis, this advanced procedure reverses the ball-and-socket anatomy of the shoulder. This innovative approach can restore function even when the rotator cuff cannot be repaired.
  • Tendon Transfer Surgery When rotator cuff tendons cannot be repaired directly, healthy tendons from nearby muscles can be transferred to restore shoulder function. This procedure is particularly effective for younger, active patients with irreparable tears.
Star
Over 92% of our rotator cuff repair patients achieve significant pain relief and return to their desired activities within 4-6 months of surgery.
