Do you suspect that you might have a rotator cuff tear? Or maybe you know that you've got a rotator cuff tear, because you've seen a doctor and had an MRI, and they found that you have a rotator cuff tear?

Are you having trouble picking up your arm all the way, and lying on that side whenever you go to sleep? Well if this is you, then the next question that you probably have is can a rotator cuff tear heal naturally without surgery?

Real quick, my name is Dr. David Middaugh. I'm a specialist physical therapist over at El Paso Manual Physical Therapy. I've been helping people with rotator cuff tear problems for years, mainly helping people avoid them.

Of course, we do see people here and there that have had a rotator cuff surgery because it's necessary in some cases.

But what we've found is that in about 9 out of 10 cases it is completely possible to avoid having a surgery and allow your rotator cuff tear to heal naturally and get back that full motion with your arm, the strength to pick up things again, lying on that shoulder without having to worry that you're going to be waking up at night all the time.

This week has been packed with new patients, and three of the patients that we got this week have asked us some version of the same question. That is something like “Can a rotator cuff tear heal naturally without surgery?” And with each and every one of them, we emphatically said, “Yes, it can.”
