Rotator cuff tears are often the result of gradual wear and tear or a sudden trauma. This injury can make it extremely difficult to perform daily tasks or participate in sports. One of the ways that rotator cuff tears are treated in older adults is through physical therapy and anti-inflammatory medication. Some of the components of holistic rotator cuff tear treatment include:
- Thorough evaluation
- Customized treatment
- Hands-on techniques for muscle relaxation and mobility
- Mobilization techniques
- Heat, ice, ultrasound, or electrical stimulation
- Stretching and strengthening exercises
Surgery is often a last resort, as it can be hard on the body of an older adult. Our experts will closely evaluate your injury and determine the best possible treatment program to help you return to activity.
