Don’t hang your hat on your MR Imaging findings..
“A cross-sectional study of 602 Finnish adults found that abnormalities on magnetic resonance imaging ( ) were nearly universal after age 40, with 99% of participants displaying some abnormality.
The prevalence and severity of these abnormalities increased with age, but did not differ between sexes. Importantly, rotator cuff abnormalities were present in both asymptomatic (96%) and symptomatic (98%) shoulders, and only full-thickness tears were weakly associated with symptoms, suggesting most imaging findings reflect normal age-related changes.”

I’ve read studies regarding low back imaging and normal age related changes and positive findings on imaging, but yet DO NOT HAVE ANY SYMPTOMS.
This is a similar study but for shoulder and rotator cuff imaging…
I don’t treat your imaging study…
I treat YOU and whatever your body is indicating that it needs to start processing inflammation and begin a healing process.
You are so much more than an isolated, mechanical body part. I treat the entire body structure, not just a diagnosis…
