Injections.
You could need cortisone injections to reduce inflammation, which will in turn reduce the level of pain if medications are not working.
Sling.
You may be advised to rest your shoulder and wear a sling to restrict your movements.
Surgery.
If you have not recovered after undergoing other types of treatment or the tear is complete, you may need surgery to stitch together the torn area, attach the tendon to the bone, or remove small pieces of tendon, tissue, or bone. There are three basic types of surgery: open surgery, arthroscopic, or mini-open, which uses both open and arthroscopic methods.
