Background: I was a 59 year old active male and I had been diagnosed with a torn Rotator and a torn Labrum. To what extent they were torn was anyone’s guess.

We met with Dr. Matt and he performed thorough examination of my shoulder and provided a detailed treatment plan for us. Initially, we were going to have a series of 3 PRP injections. I was VERY skeptical and unsure of the process, but also felt if it were successful, it would be a much quicker recovery and less duress on the whole shoulder.

After the second injection, I began a Physical Therapy (PT) regimen, which was also very helpful in the recovery process. We did the 3rd injection with which produced a little more improvement and we agreed that a 4th injection into the final “trouble spot” may be needed, which we did. After that injection and the continued PT, the shoulder made significant improvements and today is nearly 100% back to normal (which I never thought would be possible). With “Surgery”, it may not have ever gotten that good as I have had friends that had Surgery and will not ever have complete range of motion again.

To get to this point, it was less than 6 months. Today, I am back on the golf course, playing tennis and softball without ANY limitations.

Thanks Dr. Matt for your efforts!! I highly recommend Dr. Matt and the PRP treatments!
