How do you treat rotator-cuff tears?

Shoulder symptoms led to an average of 9.6 million physician visits in 2015 and 2016 in the United States. The most common cause of those shoulder symptoms? Rotator-cuff disorders. Nonoperative treatment, such as physical therapy, is the typical approach to treating rotator-cuff tears. However, surgery is considered in certain patients whose rotator-cuff tears don't resolve with nonoperative treatments.
