Dr. Payson Flattery began using Prolotherapy in 2001, after personally experiencing its ability to resolve recurrent pain. He later expanded into additional regenerative injection techniques, including Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) in 2005, and Adipose-Derived Stem Cell Therapy in 2011, developing a clinic dedicated to advanced orthopedic biologics.

Payson has over 17 years of Diagnostic and Image Guided Ultrasound experience. This window into the body allows one to actually see the integrity of the tissue, including damage—such as rotator cuff tears or ligament degeneration—and to guide injections with greater precision.

Bend Regenerative Medicine Offers Hard-Shell, High-Pressure HBOT 1.5-3.0 ATA
Healing cannot take place without appropriate oxygen levels in the tissue and cells. Many illnesses and injuries fail to heal because of inadequate oxygen levels. Inflammation, swelling, and reduced blood flow from injuries or degenerative conditions contribute to poor healing. This means adequate oxygen is unable to reach the damaged area. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) causes increased oxygen under pressure, which provides this extra oxygen to tissue and cells with minimal side effects. HBOT treats the underlying cause of your condition leading to tissue repair and energy production from the cellular level.

Treatment is delivered in hard-shell, high-pressure chambers using 100% oxygen—the standard used in published medical research.
Most scientific studies on HBOT—including brain injury research—are performed at pressures of 1.5 ATA or higher, which cannot be achieved with soft-shell units.
Soft-shell chambers typically reach only 1.3 ATA, making them unsuitable for many neurologic and non-CNS conditions that require higher pressure levels.
Clinic pricing for low-pressure 1.5–1.75 ATA sessions is comparable to soft-shell clinics, while offering significantly greater therapeutic delivery.*
Treatments are physician-monitored, with adjustments to time and pressure based on published clinical recommendations.
Patients receive customized treatment plans, including the option to integrate other regenerative therapies when appropriate.
Care is structured around outcomes, safety, and comprehensive evaluation—not generic “one-pressure-fits-all” protocols.
*Insurance is billed for certain conditions including MVA (Motor Vehicle Accident)

Looking for orthopedic pain relief. We have a few new patient slots still available in January. The opportunity to meet with Dr. Flattery and discuss options.

Dr. Payson Flattery is Bend’s only board-certified naturopathic physician focusing exclusively on the treatment of orthopedic pain and injury, by utilizing regenerative medicine with naturopathic and conventional medicine in healing.

Dr. Flattery has specialized in Regenerative Medicine for over 16 years. His strength lies in his ability to accurately assess not only a patient’s pain generator but also the aberrant movement patterns that often lead to injury, pain, and dysfunction.

Many physicians have a point and inject approach often chasing pain and missing the actual pain generator. It can often be the connective tissues (tendons ligaments and fascia) that refer pain and govern the movement of the joint that require treatment. This provides more complete and longer lasting relief after treatment.

Choosing Ultrasound-Guided Injections at Bend Regenerative Medicine. Call our office to schedule an appointment with Dr Flattery: 541-323-9696.
When considering ultrasound-guided treatments for your musculoskeletal condition, choosing a medical practitioner with expertise and experience in this specialized field is crucial. At Bend Regenerative Medicine, (Center for Integrative Medicine) Dr Payson Flattery uses state-of-the-art ultrasound technology to deliver precise, targeted treatments for a wide range of conditions. Dr Flattery will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan designed to help you achieve optimal pain relief and improved function.

The Advantages of Ultrasound-Guided Injection Therapy
Ultrasound imaging has become an indispensable tool for injection therapy, offering numerous advantages over traditional injection techniques and other imaging modalities. Some of the key benefits of ultrasound-guided injections include:
Real-time visualization: Ultrasound enables physicians to guide the needle precisely to the desired location, providing real-time imaging of soft tissue and vascular structures that ensures accurate medication delivery and minimizes the risk of complications associated with incorrect needle placement.
No ionizing radiation: Unlike X-rays or CT scans, ultrasound does not expose patients or healthcare providers to ionizing radiation, making ultrasound a safer option, especially for patients requiring multiple injections.
Improved patient comfort: Ultrasound-guided injections are generally less painful than traditional injections, helping to reduce patient anxiety and increase overall satisfaction with the procedure.
Enhanced treatment outcomes: Ultrasound-guided injections can lead to better treatment outcomes, including improved pain relief, reduced inflammation, and faster healing times.
Cost-effective and convenient: Ultrasound is a relatively inexpensive imaging modality compared to other techniques like MRI or CT scans.
Versatility: Ultrasound can be used to guide a variety of tendon, joint, and musculoskeletal injections, providing relief for conditions affecting various parts of the body, including the shoulder, hip, knee, elbow, wrist, hand, foot, and ankle.
How Ultrasound-Guided Injections Work
Dr Flattery offers ultrasound-guided injections, allowing him the ability to visualize the targeted area, ensuring the precise delivery of medication. By ensuring accurate medication placement, ultrasound-guided injections can improve pain management and enhance function for patients suffering from various musculoskeletal conditions.

Conditions Treated with Ultrasound-Guided Injections
Shoulder to Hand: Addressing Upper Body Pain
Ultrasound-guided injections can effectively treat a wide range of upper body conditions, including rotator cuff injuries, shoulder arthritis, tennis and golfer’s elbow, and carpal tunnel syndrome. By targeting the specific area of inflammation or damage, these injections can reduce pain, improve range of motion, and promote healing.
Hip to Ankle: Solutions for Lower Body Discomfort
For lower body conditions, such as hip and knee arthritis, hip bursitis, meniscus tears, and plantar fasciitis, ultrasound-guided injections offer a targeted approach to pain relief and improved function. By delivering medication directly to the affected area, these injections can help patients manage their symptoms and maintain an active lifestyle.

What to Expect During and After the Procedure
Preparing for Your Injection
Before the procedure, Dr Flattery will spend time with you discussing your medical history, allergies, and any medications you are currently taking. You may be asked to stop taking certain medications, such as NSAIDs (before PRP injections) or blood thinners in certain cases for a period of time before an injection. On the day of the procedure, wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the injection site. During the injection, you will lie or sit comfortably while Dr Flattery uses the ultrasound transducer to visualize the targeted area. A local anesthetic may be used to numb the injection site before the injection is administered.
Recovery and Follow-Up
After the injection, you may experience temporary discomfort or swelling at the injection site. Dr Flattery will provide specific post-injection care instructions. Call our office to schedule an appointment with Dr Flattery: 541-323-9696.
