I have a full thickness supraspinatus tear in my right shoulder can this heal on its own or will I need surgery? What would you recommend for treatment?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
non-surgical treatments may offer temporary relief, a full-thickness supraspinatus tear in your right shoulder will likely require surgery to address the complete tear and restore proper shoulder function.

View allmy doctor suggested biovisc injections for my shoulder joint gap instead of surgery does this treatment actually work or should i consider other options
Biovisc injections, also known as hyaluronic acid injections or viscosupplementation, can be a viable alternative to surgery for shoulder pain and joint gap, but they may not be a permanent solution. These injections work by increasing the viscosity of the joint fluid, which can reduce pain and improve mobility, but they don't address the underlying cause of the joint gap.
