From what I've seen on a quick Google, all the Sensations have volume buttons, are you sure it's a Sensation?
I may be wrong, so feel free to correct me.

There are ways around it, you could use the ADB Fastbooter to get to Fastboot, then use Fastboot Commander, both of which can be found via Search.
I'm still fairly new to Android and know the long ways around, so if anyone knows a shorter way, I'd like to hear your answer.

you could do that. You can also reboot into recovery while you're phone is on by using an app such as quickboot. What if your phone bootlooped though? It'd be a pain to get it back into recovery. Maaaybe you could get into recovery using adb while in bootloop, but nonetheless it's annoying to do so. Why don't you provide more information as to how the volume rockers are broken? If the thing fell off, you could easily buy a new back cover OR press in the volume area which should work. I wouldn't bother rooting my phone if my volume rockers were completely broken.
