Rotator Cuff Treatment

Non-surgical and surgical rotator cuff treatment in Forest Hills, Queens

About Rotator Cuff Treatment

M&S Vascular and Orthopedic Group in Forest Hills, Queens offers comprehensive treatment for rotator cuff injuries — from conservative therapy to advanced surgical repair. Dr. Mehran Manoel specializes in diagnosing and treating rotator cuff tears, tendinitis, and impingement syndrome using the latest techniques. Rotator cuff injuries are among the most common causes of shoulder pain, especially in adults over 40. Whether your injury is from a sudden fall, repetitive overhead activity, or gradual wear and tear, our Forest Hills team provides a full range of treatment options. Conservative approaches include physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medications, cortisone injections, and PRP therapy. When surgery is necessary, Dr. Manoel performs minimally invasive arthroscopic rotator cuff repair for faster recovery and better outcomes.

What to Expect

Your evaluation includes a shoulder examination, strength testing, and imaging (X-ray, MRI, or ultrasound). Dr. Manoel will explain the type and severity of your rotator cuff problem and recommend treatment. Many patients start with conservative therapy. If surgery is needed, the arthroscopic approach uses small incisions for less pain and faster healing.

Who Is This For?

Adults experiencing shoulder pain, weakness, or limited range of motion from rotator cuff tears, tendinitis, or impingement — whether from injury, sports, repetitive activity, or age-related degeneration.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I have a rotator cuff tear?
Common symptoms include shoulder pain (especially at night or when reaching overhead), weakness when lifting or rotating the arm, and a crackling sensation with movement. An MRI or ultrasound at our Forest Hills office can confirm the diagnosis.
Do all rotator cuff tears need surgery?
No. Many partial tears and some full tears respond well to physical therapy, injections, and activity modification. Dr. Manoel recommends surgery primarily for complete tears, failed conservative treatment, or when strength recovery is critical.
What is arthroscopic rotator cuff repair?
Arthroscopic repair uses a tiny camera and small instruments inserted through 3-4 small incisions to reattach the torn tendon to the bone. This minimally invasive approach results in less pain, smaller scars, and faster recovery compared to open surgery.
How long is recovery after rotator cuff surgery?
You will wear a sling for 4-6 weeks and begin gentle physical therapy early. Most patients return to daily activities in 3 months and full strength in 6-9 months. Dr. Manoel will provide a detailed recovery timeline.
