Testimonial: Can I get a platelet rich plasma (PRP) injection for nerve pain?

This video features a six-week post-procedure testimonial shared by Dr. Don Buford, focusing on a patient who used regenerative medicine to treat nerve pain in her foot.

Key Highlights:

  • The Condition: The patient, who is a nurse navigation professional with previous experience working in orthopedics, suffered from a painful neuroma (a benign growth of nerve tissue, often causing sharp or burning nerve pain) in her foot following a prior ankle injury.
  • The Treatment: She had previously tried extensive physical therapy while living in Alaska with no relief. Seeking an alternative to surgery—which was presented to her as the only other option—she chose to undergo a bone marrow concentrate (BMC) stem cell injection with Dr. Buford.
  • Results: At her six-week follow-up milestone, the patient reports that she is 90% better. She has regained full range of motion in her foot, can comfortably squat, and is highly relieved to have successfully bypassed surgical intervention. Given that she is only six weeks out, Dr. Buford shares her optimism that she will continue toward a full 100% recovery as time goes on.
