William Jacobson, MD - Capital Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine

Most people think shoulder pain always means a serious injury — but the truth about rotator cuff tears is more nuanced and surprisingly common. In this episode, Dr. William Jacobson, a top orthopedic surgeon with extensive sports medicine experience, reveals how many adults walk around with unnoticed rotator cuff damage and how your body may be compensating better than you realize. If you’re experiencing shoulder discomfort, struggling with sleep, or unsure whether to rest, rehab, or rush into surgery, this episode will change how you think about your shoulder health. Dr. Jacobson breaks down what a rotator cuff tear really entails, highlighting how tears often develop gradually from wear and tear rather than sudden injury. He shares eye-opening statistics: up to half of us might have partial tears on MRI without even knowing it—and many function perfectly well. You’ll discover how the decision between physical therapy, injections, and surgery depends on your activity level and tear size, and why waiting too long to treat a tear can make it harder to fix later. The episode delves into the latest surgical techniques—like arthroscopic repair with knotless anchors—that reduce recovery time and improve outcomes. Dr. Jacobson explains what patients should expect during recovery, emphasizing that patience and proper rehab are critical for success. If you’re an active adult or athlete, learn exactly when to push, when to rest, and how to avoid re-injury with smart movement habits. Far beyond the operating room, this conversation explores the mental resilience needed during shoulder injury recovery. Dr. Jacobson emphasizes the importance of mindset, attitude, and realistic expectations—factors proven to influence healing and satisfaction. He shares practical tips to protect your shoulders long-term, from maintaining range of motion to smart lifting habits, and discusses how to identify when pain warrants professional evaluation. Whether you’re dealing with a nagging ache or seeking to stay healthy for the future, this episode is essential listening. You’ll gain fresh insights into shoulder anatomy, injury progression, and the best strategies to get back to the activities you love. Confidence and clarity are just a play button away—tap in now to see your shoulder health in a new light. Chapters: 1.
