Orthopedic clinics that regularly use ultrasound already know the incredible benefits to both patients AND clinicians, but many patients inquire - "what about an X-ray or MRI?"

While we also offer on-site X-rays, we prefer the ultrasound for diagnosing tendon pain due to the ability to move the joint as we view it, as well as the incredible resolution it provides. While X-rays and MRI’s have their place, it is not with tendons.

Our Bluetail physicians are among the very best in the industry at using ultrasound both diagnose and form a treatment plan.

ORTHOBIOLOGICS use biologics from one's own body to address conditions such as musculoskeletal injuries, tendon injuries and degenerated arthritic joints.

This cutting-edge treatment utilizes a patient's OWN cells derived from bone marrow aspirate and plasma to treat and regenerate tissue, harnessing your body's innate healing abilities to decrease inflammation and improve the repair process.

This is an excellent option for patients looking to potentially avoid surgery - or buy a few pain-free years prior to an eventual joint replacement surgery. Our experienced sports medicine physicians are leaders in this rapidly growing field of medicine and will walk you through the process and determine if you are an appropriate candidate during your consultation.

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 🙂

🥇Spring is marathon season, which means that there are more runners showing up in sports medicine clinics, such as Bluetail Medical Group, with injuries such as shin splints, achilles tendinitis, runner’s knee and more. An estimated 30% of marathon runners will suffer an injury, and 15% of those training will never make it to the starting line because of them.

Whether you’re training for a marathon or going for a dog walk close to home, preventing these injuries is far easier than treating them after they’ve occurred. These seem like no-brainers, but the following suggestions can help keep you on the road and out of the doctor's office!

An anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear is a knee injury that can cause symptoms like pain, swelling, and a popping sound. The tear can be partial or complete, and symptoms are generally more severe with more extensive injuries. Trouble standing is just one sign that you need immediate medical attention.

With partial tears, it's also possible to experience little to no ACL tear symptoms at first. This sounds like a good thing, but it can result in you continuing your activity, further compromising your ligament and potentially worsening the tear. If you suspect a partial tear, it's important to see a board-certified orthopedic/sports medicine physician so that you do not do further damage.

SIGNS OF A POSSIBLE ACL TEAR:

💥 Hearing a "pop"
💥 Knee swelling/pain
💥 Knee Instability

After an evaluation with possible in-clinic diagnostic testing, our physicians may order additional diagnostic testing (mri) or refer you to a surgeon for a surgical consult. However, many patients with just partial tears often benefit from our orthobiologic treatments that involve minimal downtime and a shorter recovery time than waiting for it to heal on its own.

MENISCUS PAIN?

PRP + BMAC injections are ready to inject for patient with 1+ year of chronic pain and swelling due to torn meniscus, despite having surgery on it last year along with an extended period of physical therapy.

Although we never expect a full re-growth of the degenerative meniscus, our experience has shown that the patient's own BMAC (Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate) often improves the condition of the overall knee joint while aiding in the decrease of inflammation - which is the root cause of much of the associated pain and swelling.

Chronic pain caused by arthritis affects millions of people in the United States every year. About one in four adults with arthritis—15 million people—report experiencing severe joint pain related to arthritis. Additionally, nearly half of adults with arthritis have persistent pain that affects their everyday lives.

Many patients suffering with arthritic pain to their joints can benefit from revolutionary medical treatments that fall under the umbrella of regenerative medicine. This branch of medicine focuses on ways to replace, repair, or regenerate damaged human tissue naturally, using your body’s own capacity for healing. Your stem cells, platelets, and amniotic fluids, which are all rich in growth factors, can be injected into arthritic joints to ease inflammation and prompt the development of new, healthier cells, often providing long-term pain relief and faster healing and recovery when compared to surgical interventions. The procedures are quick, simple, and require no blood loss or risk of infection.

Perfect for:

💥 Knees
💥 Shoulders
💥 Elbows
💥 Plantar Fasciitis
💥 Spine
