Dr. John Tait

Originally from Michigan, since 2010 Dr. Tait has called Tucson home, with his wife Lisa and their two young boys. A pivotal injury in 2012 changed his personal path and his entire practice philosophy. From one of managing pain to a comprehensive approach to create freedom from pain, so that he could return to an active lifestyle. That experience focused his future training and ongoing mentorship in the growing fields of Regenerative Medicine, Integrative Orthopedics, and Functional Medicine. Beyond the practice, Dr. Tait has authored three books and has created two courses on his Integrative Regenerative approach to Orthopedic care and optimal health. Education:
