Matt, a healthy guy of 50, tore his rotator cuff lifting weights.  His doctor confirmed a 50% tear with an MRI.  So Matt did what most of us do trying to avoid surgery…he walked around with the injury for a full year without treatment.  Only able to lift his right arm half way, he had no idea there was an alternative to surgery until a friend told him about PRP.

PRP is an injection of the patient’s own platelet rich plasma, retrieved from the patient’s own blood.  Over the next 3 weeks to 3 months, the area of injection completely regenerates.  

At first this sounded too good to be true but a couple weeks later he received a PRP injection into his shoulder tear after reading many positive testimonials.  Unlike surgical repair, there was minimal pain, a very short  recovery period with no scar tissue to deal with in Physical Therapy.

“I know people who had shoulder surgery and the recovery was long and brutally painful. I experienced minimal downtime as PRP doesn’t limit your life after you get it.”  Matt started physical therapy two weeks later and after 3 months he returned to his doctor who confirmed the tendon completely regrew.  “My total shoulder function came back like I was never injured.  Not many people can say that after receiving any type of surgery.”  Matt’s shoulder was back to normal and the strength returned with full range of motion.
