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!

Bluetail Medical Group is not your typical orthopedic clinic!

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.

Call to schedule a consult with one of our experienced orthopedic physicians.

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.
