Treatment depends on the severity of symptoms, the extent of the tear or impingement, and individual functional goals. At The Coriel Clinic, we provide personalised, consultant-led care with both conservative and surgical options when appropriate.

Conservative (Non-Surgical) Treatments

Many patients benefit from non-surgical treatment, which may include:

• Activity modification to reduce painful shoulder movements.
• Targeted physiotherapy to improve strength, flexibility and shoulder mechanics.
• Anti-inflammatory strategies to reduce pain and swelling.
• Corticosteroid or image-guided injections for pain relief and reduced inflammation
• Posture and movement guidance to support recovery.

These approaches aim to reduce symptoms, enhance function and support healing without surgery.

Surgical Treatments

Surgery may be recommended when symptoms persist despite conservative care, or when a significant rotator cuff tear impacts function and quality of life. Surgical options may include:

• Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair to re-attach torn tendons
• Sub-acromial decompression to relieve pressure on inflamed tissues.
• Other combined procedures tailored to your specific shoulder pathology.

Your consultant will explain all recommended options, expected benefits, risks and recovery expectations, so you can make an informed decision about your care.

At The Coriel Clinic, our goal is to help you return to pain-free activity with expert guidance, personalised treatment and continuity of care throughout your recovery.
