A member asked:
Any alternative to surgery for complete subscapularis and supraspinatus tears?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Even surgery may not be helpful. These are significant tears of the shoulder rotator cuff. Many people chose not to have surgery, and do physical therapy and muscle strengthening, and learn to live with less strength and range of motion in their shoulder. Good luck to you!
