Michael Alexander achieved 90-95% normal shoulder function at Pinnacle Integrative Orthopedic Sports and Medicine just three months after receiving PRP and stem cell injections. After a previous surgical recovery took 18 months, Michael opted for regenerative medicine to treat a recurrent rotator cuff tear, avoiding surgery and significantly accelerating his recovery time.

The interview
What is your overall opinion of the staff at Pinnacle Orthopedics?
These folks are very knowledgeable, they're good to work with. In my opinion, they're one of the best in the country. I recommend Pinnacle Orthopedics because of the doctors and the nurses. Everybody over there is great to work with.
How did your physical therapist react to your treatment choice?
My therapist is a doctor of therapy and had no knowledge of the PRP and stem cell injections. When I first went in, he was very skeptical. And at three months later he told me, he said, 'I was very skeptical of this and now I will be referring several people to Pinnacle Orthopedics because of what I've seen you go through in a short period of time versus what we see on a normal basis around here of having surgery.'
Can you tell us a bit about yourself and your medical history prior to visiting Pinnacle?
Mike Alexander. I live in Electra, Texas and I am retired. Before going to Pinnacle Orthopedics, I had had surgery on my shoulder several years prior. About a year and a half before I felt like I was 100%. Then after this time around, I had torn the same rotator cuff and same shoulder again several years later.
Why did you choose regenerative medicine over another surgery?
I went to Pinnacle Orthopedics and I was told that, because surgery first time, there was not enough material to fix it again. My best option was to go to PRP and stem cell injections. I was kind of hesitant because I'm not that up on modern medicine, but because the group at Pinnacle Orthopedics, they explained how it all works and how quick I would have recovery, so I went that line and I'm glad now that I did.
What were your results three months after the injections?
Three months later, after therapy, having the PRPs and stem cell injections done at Pinnacle, three months later, I'm at like 90, 95% normal... to where before I was a year, year and a half getting back to normal, so I would definitely say Pinnacle Orthopedics is the way to go. It's an option to keep from having to have surgery.
Frequently asked
Are stem cell injections effective for patients who aren't familiar with modern medicine?
Michael Alexander was initially hesitant because he was not up to date on modern medicine, but the team at Pinnacle Orthopedics explained the process and recovery speed. After three months, he reached 95% normalcy and now recommends the treatment to everyone.
How does stem cell recovery time compare to traditional shoulder surgery?
Michael Alexander reported that his previous shoulder surgery took a year and a half to reach 100% recovery. In contrast, his treatment at Pinnacle Orthopedics using PRP and stem cell injections brought him to 95% recovery in just three months.
Do physical therapists recommend Pinnacle Orthopedics for regenerative treatments?
Michael's own therapist, a doctor of therapy, was initially very skeptical of PRP and stem cell injections. However, after seeing Michael's rapid progress compared to normal surgical outcomes, the therapist stated he would be referring several people to Pinnacle Orthopedics.
