Recovery
Nonsurgical treatment consists of rest/activity modification, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications, and physical therapy. If these do not relieve the symptoms, a steroid injection may be considered. Surgical treatment is usually only necessary when there is partial rotator cuff tear that is not responding to conservative treatment or when there is a complete rotator cuff tear.
