A rotator cuff tear can mask as shoulder impingement and even a shoulder strain. Being able to tell the difference is challenging even for medical professionals.

Usually they rely on MRIs to tell if there is a torn rotator cuff...but MRIs are not cheap, are not for claustrophobic people, and they often lead to getting an unnecessary surgery.

Knowing if you have a rotator cuff tear is a big deal so that you can choose the right exercises and treatment. There are many other reasons for shoulder pain and other types of treatment to do for different types of injuries. Some shoulder treatments can make a rotator cuff tear worse so be careful when choosing what to do.

The best news you need to hear if you think you’ve got a rotator cuff tear is that it usually can heal without having surgery. This is proven in medical research and of course we see it happen all the time with our patients here in the clinic.
