Cellular therapy featuring Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC) has some of the most exciting treatment potential in regenerative medicine today. The cells found in BMAC are the body's master cells - undifferentiated cells which allow them to develop into other types of cells - cells that are required to repair or replace damaged tissue. Bone marrow cells can stimulate the formation of cartilage, tendon, ligaments, bone, and fibrous connective tissues.

For more information on BMAC treatment procedures, visit https://www.bluetailmedicalgroup.com/services/bone-marrow-aspirate-concentrate-bmac

If you think BMAC or any of our other treatments could help you return to your best self after injury, call us to schedule a consultation!

Training for a fall marathon but struggling with knee pain? Problems in the cartilage and meniscus of the knee can be a major source of knee pain in runners. Many think their only option for an injured meniscus is surgery, where parts of it are often removed - not repaired - making future running and other physical activities difficult, if not impossible. Opt for regenerative orthopedic treatments, such as stem cell and PRP injections, that repair and regenerate your meniscus.

The Regenerative Medicine treatments at Bluetail Medical Group provide our patients of all ages with non-surgical treatment options that promote the body's ability to heal itself after injury. Learn more about non-surgical, regenerative treatments for knee pain:

Back to school also means back to sports for many students. From strikes and sprains to footwork and fractures, many athletes will find themselves with minor to major injuries from the field or court.

Several considerations should be followed to reduce the risk of injury:

1. Dynamic Stretch
to warm up muscles

2. Use Proper Equipment
Make sure it fits/works properly before game time

3. Avoid Muscle Overuse
Repeated motions can cause too much stress on the growth plates. Rest time is as important as training time

4. Take a Break When Injured
Injured athletes should not continue playing until they are evaluated by a sports medicine professional

We are always here to help!

Plantar fasciitis is the most common cause of heel pain for adults, especially those between the ages of 40 and 60. Athletes who put a significant amount of stress on their heels may feel plantar fasciitis at a young age. Plantar fasciitis may affect men and women who stay on their feet for several hours a day, and it can also be a result of wear-and-tear over the years.

Too much tension and stress on the plantar fascia in the arch of your foot can result in small tears in the ligament. This may cause stabbing heel pain or pain across the bottom of your foot, especially noticeable when you first stand up after sitting or begin to walk after getting out of bed in the morning.
