The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles and tendons that keep the head of the humerus (bone in the upper arm) in the shoulder socket. Damage to any of the muscles or tendons of the rotator cuff is known as a rotator cuff injury. The four muscles that make up the rotator cuff are supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor and subscapularis. Rotator cuff helps stabilise the shoulder joint. The rotator cuff’s muscles help with the shoulder joint’s movement in various directions. Most of the injuries related to rotator cuff include strains, tears (can be partial or full thickness tear and may arise from acute injury or overuse), tendinitis (inflamed tendons stemming from overuse), bursitis (inflammation of the bursa), and impingement (trapping of the rotator cuff tendons between the head of the humerus and acromion; it can result in inflammation of tendon or the bursa of the shoulder).
There is great scope to help cases of rotator cuff injuries in homeopathy. Rotator cuff injuries (both acute and chronic) can be effectively treated with homeopathy. It helps to heal the injured, overstrained muscle and tendons of the rotator cuff along with symptom management. The symptoms of shoulder pain, stiffness, tenderness and weakness are all managed wonderfully with homeopathic remedies. The conventional mode makes use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and steroidal injections in the shoulder joint to relieve symptoms of rotator cuff injury. These offer temporary relief and the injections may also cause weakness of tendons. In severe cases, surgery is recommended in this mode. Homeopathy is a great alternative, non-invasive treatment option for rotator cuff injuries as it provides long-term relief by healing the injured muscles and tendons. The timely use of homeopathic remedies can also help to prevent the need of surgery in cases of rotator cuff injuries.
In homeopathy, the medicines for rotator cuff injuries are selected individually for every case. The medicines are prescribed as per the symptom presentation, so homeopathic prescription varies from case to case. The potency and dose also differ among different cases. The individualized treatment approach lead to great cures. Hence, it is advised to take any homeopathic medicine for rotator cuff injuries under the supervision of a homeopathic doctor.
Homeopathy offers healing in cases of rotator cuff injuries with zero side effects. Homeopathic medicines boost the body’s self-healing forces in cases of rotator cuff injuries to aid natural recovery. With proper homeopathic treatment for a particular time period under the guidance of a homeopathic doctor, excellent cures occur. The results, however, vary as per the severity of the injuries and chronicity.
Homeopathic medicines treat rotator cuff injuries safely, as these are devoid of any toxins and chemicals. These medicines are made from natural sources hence are very safe to use. They have no adverse effects and treat such injuries in a very mild, gentle and harmless manner.

Sportspersons, including tennis players, baseball players, and wrestlers who tend to use the rotator cuff excessively, are at an increased risk of injury. A blow on the shoulder, fall on the ground, or an accident (such as on the road) also increases the risk of a rotator cuff injury. Older adults above the age of 40 years are also at increased risk.
Symptoms of a Rotator Cuff Injury
In case of rotator cuff injury, the symptoms like shoulder pain and decreased range of motion at the shoulder joint are prominent. Tenderness on the affected shoulder joint is also present. Pain may get worse by putting the arm over the head or behind the back. In most cases, worsening of the shoulder pain is noted at night. Lying on the affected side also tends to exacerbate the pain. A clicking sound on moving the shoulder and weakening of the shoulder are some other symptoms.

I have pain in shoulder since 2 years. Last year my shoulder MRI showed that I have rotator cuff tear.
At that time doctor suggested for me to take steroid injection but it did not. is Homeopathy medicine cure my problem. Please give me suggetion.
An MRI shows that I have a COMPLETE tear of my rotator cuff. It’s an accident, not overuse. Can homeopathy heal a complete tear? I don’t know if I should just opt for surgery because I don’t want to be disappointed that I can’t do my active things like kayaking and tennis after just using homeopathy! How can I wisely decide which way to go? Thanks much!
Update: I used homeopathy plus physical therapy to heal my tear. I used homeopathy to heal the various parts of the shoulder that were damaged from my fall. Because it was a complete tear, it would never bring the parts of the rotator cuff back together but my other tendons/muscles/joints healed and became stronger with PT in order to take over the work of the no longer intact rotator cuff. Because I am older (70) I must do my PT exercises every day to stretch and maintain the strength that I gained in the physical therapy. The only thing have trouble with is playing pickleball, which requires fast, explosive shoulder movement.
Kathy, How long did your healing take? Did you do a combination water remedy for homeopathic treatment? If so, which remedies do you feel worked best? I have an injury from a skiing fall and hope to heal with PT and homeopathy as well. I wish you complete healing!
