Shoulder discomfort that worsens during lifting or sleep is often overlooked. Dr. Joel Prasad in Bengaluru frequently sees patients who adjusted daily habits to manage pain instead of addressing its cause. A rotator cuff tear can gradually weaken shoulder strength and restrict movement if not evaluated early.
Rotator cuff tears may develop due to repetitive use, aging tendons, or sudden injury. Early diagnosis helps determine whether conservative care such as physiotherapy and guided rehabilitation is sufficient. In more advanced cases, timely surgical care may be required to restore shoulder function and prevent long term weakness.
Delaying care often allows the tear to progress, making recovery longer and more demanding. Addressing shoulder pain early helps preserve mobility and prevents compensation patterns that strain other joints.
Consult Dr. Joel Prasad to understand treatment options for rotator cuff tear before shoulder movement becomes limited.
