When a concentrated amount of regenerative cells are injected directly into damaged tissues, the regenerative cells regenerate and repair the damage by producing the new cells.

The regenerative cells used for your injection come from your own body. One type, mesenchymal cells, are particularly effective for orthopedic conditions and sports injuries because they regenerate cells common in musculoskeletal tissues, including bones, tendons, cartilage, and ligaments.

Your doctor at Bluetail Medical Group extracts adult mesenchymal regenerative cells from bone marrow in your hip. After processing and concentrating the regenerative cells, your doctor injects them into the damaged tissues using ultrasound-guided imaging.

These are just a few examples of health problems treated with regenerative cellular therapy at Bluetail Medical Group:

- Rotator cuff tears
- Osteoarthritis
- Back and neck pain
- Knee pain
- Hand and wrist pain
- Muscle, tendon, or ligament tears
- Inflammatory problems like tendonitis and bursitis

If you think Regenerative Cellular Therapy could help you with one of these conditions, call to schedule a consultation today!

Naturally found in your blood, platelets are a rich source of proteins called growth factors, which promote healing. Any time your tissues are damaged or diseased, platelets migrate to the area, stimulate new cell growth, and accelerate tissue repair.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) contains a higher concentration of platelets than the amount normally found in your blood. To create PRP, your doctor draws a sample of your blood and places it in a centrifuge, which separates out the platelets. These concentrated platelets are recombined with your blood plasma to make PRP.

PRP therapy is an effective treatment for a broad range of orthopedic conditions, from tendon, ligament, and muscle injuries to degenerative diseases, including:

- Tendonitis
- Arthritis
- Partial rotator cuff tears
- Sprains and strains
- Joint capsular laxity
- Plantar fasciitis
- Knee pain
- Back and neck pain

If you think PRP therapy could be an option to help treat your injury or health concern, contact us today to schedule a consultation!

We offer the most comprehensive diagnosis and treatment for patients suffering with orthopedic pain due to injury or chronic disease, such as osteoarthritis, spinal stenosis, and more.

While traditional methods of pain treatment, such as medication and surgery, can be effective, they also come with certain risks and potential side effects and aren't the best option in every case.

Bluetail offers a safer and more natural way to manage chronic pain and heal from injuries.

Many people of a certain age equate aging with illness, loneliness and disability. But it doesn’t have to be that way. As Deborah Carr, a sociologist, wrote in her 2023 book, “Aging in America,” powerful economic, technological and cultural changes in recent decades mean that older adults in 2050 will be leading very different lives than those who are retirement-age today.

Once someone starts thinking of themselves as falling apart, ill or old, it’s easy to fall into the trap of negative self-expectations. The World Health Organization reports that older adults subject to ageism live on average 7.5 years less than people with positive views about getting older.

Along with taking good care of your general, cardiovascular and orthopedic health by staying current with your doctor appointments and seeking the help of specialists when necessary, there are some steps can start taking NOW that will set the tone for your future as you age.

Cellular injections reduce need for nearly 10% of hip replacements.
Research has shown that properties from your own stem cells possess the characteristics and qualities needed for the body to regrow, repair, and regenerate damaged tissue and bone, and help some patients avoid future hip surgery, or at least delay surgery in younger patients.

Schedule your consultation today to see if our Orthobiologics treatments are right for you and your joint pain/condition.

As Marathon season gives way to ski season, it's worth reviewing the most common knee injuries we see at our Sports Medicine/Orthopedic clinic, as the risk is always present.

1️⃣ MCL TEAR
The MCL is a stabilizing ligament that runs along the inner side of your knee, and it can sprain or tear when your knee forcefully twists or the outside of your knee takes a strong, direct hit. These tears are more common among beginner and intermediate skiers due to their frequency of using the "snow plow" technique to start or stop. Symptoms include inner-knee pain, feeling like your knee might give out, a locking or "catching" sensation, and swelling/stiffness. An MCL tear rarely requires surgery.

2️⃣ ACL TEAR
The second most common injury — and the most well-known — is an ACL tear. The ACL is one of four ligaments in the knee and provides stability for the knee joint by preventing excessive forward and backward movements. The ACL can tear when the knee is twisted beyond its normal range of motion. Most patients report hearing a "pop", and might also experience sharp or severe pain, swelling, and difficulty bearing weight.

3️⃣ MINISCUS TEAR
Two C-shaped pieces of cartilage called menisci stabilize your knees, acting as shock absorbers and helping to distribute weight evenly in the knee joint. A sudden twist or rotation of the knee, especially when you're bearing weight on a foot that's in a fixed position (such as within a ski boot) is often the culprit of a torn miniscus. Patients will often experience a "popping" sensation after it happens, pain in the knee joint, swelling and stiffness, difficulty extending the knee and a "locking" or "catching" sensation.

Patients suffering from debilitating knee damage usually have limited treatment options to manage the pain and restore knee function. The Cellular Therapy offered at Bluetail Medical Group as part of our Regenerative Medicine protocol has emerged as a promising treatment option on its on or sometimes in conjunction with surgery (full ACL tear).
