Your rotator cuff is a precision tuned group of four muscles and tendons that act as the control center for your shoulder. It keeps your arm bone securely in its socket while allowing you to lift, rotate, and reach. When these tissues are stressed or torn, everyday movements can become a challenge.
A healthy spine relies on a delicate balance of several components working in harmony.
While common with age, repetitive “overhead” lifestyles—from heavy lifting at work to weekend tennis—can accelerate shoulder fatigue.
If you’re feeling weakness or a “catching” sensation, your shoulder is asking for expert attention.
Many injuries respond remarkably well to targeted physical therapy, rebuilding stability and range of motion without the need for a scalpel.
For acute tears caused by sudden trauma, early intervention is key. Modern, minimally invasive options can repair damage quickly, getting you back to peak performance.
Usually starts as a dull ache deep in the shoulder that can travel down the arm.
Pain often peaks at night, making it difficult to find a comfortable sleeping position.
Whether it’s an acute injury (a sudden fall or heavy lift) or degenerative wear (years of overhead movements like painting or tennis), the result is decreased mobility and strength.
Don’t let shoulder pain limit your life. Restore your strength and mobility with our precision guided, non-surgical repair protocols.
Not necessarily. Modern medicine has moved toward "functional healing." Many partial tears and even some chronic full tears respond exceptionally well to non-surgical regenerative therapies like PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma), targeted physical therapy, and advanced nerve blocks. Our goal is to avoid the operating room whenever possible by stimulating your body’s own repair mechanisms.
Ignoring a tear is a gamble with your mobility. Over time, an untreated tear can lead to "Fatty Infiltration," where the muscle actually turns into fat because it isn't being used. Once this happens, the damage can become irreversible. It also puts you at a high risk for Frozen Shoulder or chronic arthritis, making future treatments much more complex.
While MRIs are great, we often use Dynamic Musculoskeletal Ultrasound right in our office. Unlike a static scan, this allows us to see your shoulder in real-time motion. We can watch the tendon move, see exactly where it’s pinching, and give you a diagnosis and a treatment plan during your very first visit.
"Natural" in modern medicine means Biologics. Using growth factors from your own blood (PRP) can significantly accelerate the healing of frayed tendons and reduce inflammation without the side effects of long-term steroid use. While they won't "re-sew" a completely severed tendon, they are game-changers for healing chronic wear and partial tears.
