The answer is probably not! In fact, most rotator cuff injuries are treatable without surgery. What are some remedies that can help you heal without going under the knife? This blog post discusses a few.

Your pain can affect your ability to walk, run, and carry out other basic tasks! The good news is that shockwave therapy might be a viable treatment option. What is shockwave therapy, how does it work, and how many treatment sessions might you need? This blog post provides some valuable information.
