The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder and allow smooth, controlled movement. A rupture or tear can occur from trauma, repetitive strain, or natural degeneration over time. When the rotator cuff is damaged, shoulder motion becomes painful and weak, often making it difficult to lift or rotate the arm.
At OccuHealth Surgery Center, our orthopedic specialists diagnose and treat rotator cuff ruptures using advanced techniques designed to restore strength, mobility, and long-term shoulder function.
Rotator cuff ruptures can affect people of all ages. However, they are most commonly seen in athletes, older adults, and individuals who work jobs that involve manual labor. Some of the most common symptoms include:
Our team begins with a detailed physical examination to assess shoulder strength and mobility. We then use imaging such as MRI or ultrasound to confirm the size, location, and severity of the tear. Understanding the full scope of the injury helps us create an individualized treatment plan.
The recommended treatment for a rotator cuff rupture will largely depend on the extent of the injury, the individual’s activity level, and their overall shoulder health.
Non-Surgical Treatment Options
Small or partial tears may be treated with rest, physical therapy, and non-addictive pain management to strengthen surrounding muscles and improve flexibility.
Surgical Repair
Complex tears often require surgical intervention. Our surgeons perform minimally invasive arthroscopic repairs whenever possible to reattach the tendon and restore proper shoulder mechanics.
The goal is to reduce pain, restore stability, and help you return to full function.
Rotator cuff injuries can significantly affect your quality of life, but with proper treatment, recovery is possible. At OccuHealth Surgery Center, our specialists provide advanced, evidence-based care for all types of shoulder injuries.
