A rotator cuff injury can disrupt your sleep and your strength. Whether it’s from an acute injury or wear and tear over time, Dr. Scott Strasburger and the Sagewell team are here to help. We provide thorough evaluations to determine if physical therapy, injections, or surgical repair is the best path to restoring your shoulder function.
For active individuals dealing with soft tissue injuries, standard recovery times can be frustrating. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy offers a biological boost to the healing process. By delivering a high concentration of platelets directly to the injury site, this therapy is designed to support the repair of tendons and ligaments.
Shoulder injuries can range from a dull ache to a sudden tear, but the path to recovery starts with a clear diagnosis. In our latest blog, we break down common shoulder issues, how we diagnose them at Sagewell, and the spectrum of treatment options available, from physical therapy to advanced repair.
