High Cholesterol and Shoulder Pain

May 18, 2017

“I had a very painful shoulder diagnosed as multiple tendon tears/bone spurs. The Orthopedist gave me a cortisone shot (pain relief lasted about a month), prescribed physical therapy (I gave it up as it aggravated the condition and increased the pain) and finally recommended I have surgery. The results are not guaranteed and there is a long recovery time which would keep me from playing golf. Additionally, a golfing buddy whose daughter is a prominent MD discussed it with her and she said: “It’s a b—- to recover from.” I decided against that. So, I did some googling and discovered Platelet Rich Plasma therapy. The success stories on the web looked good. I found Revolutions Naturopathic and Drs. Raithel/Young. I had 5 treatments from Dr. Raithel and my shoulder is 90% improved. I could probably use another treatment or two but I’m not motivated as I go days without any pain. Sometimes if I do some heavy lifting I experience some pain.

I also worked with Dr. Young on some other health issues. I had e.g. high cholesterol. She worked out a supplement plan which reduced my negative cholesterol levels to normal for the first time in years.

I must say I am very happy with the care I received at Revolutions. The staff are great and they showed genuine concern for my wellbeing. Thanks Revolutions!”*
