This video features another patient testimonial shared by Dr. Don Buford, focusing on a patient treated for left shoulder subacromial impingement (a condition where shoulder tendons are intermittently trapped and compressed during movement).
Key Highlights:
- Background: The patient suffered from left shoulder impingement for about four to five months.
- Previous Treatments: The condition failed to improve with standard conservative treatments, including rest, activity changes, anti-inflammatory medications, and a steroid injection, which provided no significant relief after a couple of months.
- PRP Results: Because there was no rotator cuff tear, Dr. Buford recommended a Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) injection. After some minor post-injection soreness that cleared up within 24 hours, the patient saw massive improvement. Within two months, the radiating pain down his arm completely vanished, and his range of motion returned to normal.
