What would be recommended to take care of a strained rotator cuff?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Rotator cuff: If only strained, options include rest, ice, nsaids, and eventual rehab exercises best guided by a therapist. Sometimes a cortisone injection can be helpful if inflammation is present. If torn, surgery is often needed to repair the tear.
