Shoulder labrum tears are more common than you might think and many times can be treated non-surgically with the same or even better outcomes than getting it surgically repaired. The labrum provides a smooth articulating surface for the head of the humerus to glide around the glenoid cavity (the shoulder socket). A tear in the labrum will compromise the shoulder’s ability to stay locked into that socket but the amazing thing about the body is how it is designed to find new strategies to keep you

We just got the MRI results back for our patient with a torn labrum, and the good news is that the tear is the only issue—no other complications! A torn labrum is an injury to the ring of cartilage in the shoulder that helps stabilize the joint, often caused by trauma or overuse. While it can be painful and limit movement, with the right treatment plan, recovery is very achievable. We’re ready to move forward and get our patient back to full strength! #MRIresults #labrumtear #shoulderinjury #rec
