Back to school also means back to sports for many students. From strikes and sprains to footwork and fractures, many athletes will find themselves with minor to major injuries from the field or court.

Several considerations should be followed to reduce the risk of injury:

1. Dynamic Stretch
to warm up muscles

2. Use Proper Equipment
Make sure it fits/works properly before game time

3. Avoid Muscle Overuse
Repeated motions can cause too much stress on the growth plates. Rest time is as important as training time

4. Take a Break When Injured
Injured athletes should not continue playing until they are evaluated by a sports medicine professional

Cellular therapy featuring Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC) has some of the most exciting treatment potential in regenerative medicine today. The cells found in BMAC are the body's master cells - undifferentiated cells which allow them to develop into other types of cells - cells that are required to repair or replace damaged tissue. Bone marrow cells can stimulate the formation of cartilage, tendon, ligaments, bone, and fibrous connective tissues.

BMAC has been clinically and scientifically proven to effectively treat most chronic pain conditions, accelerate healing, and reduce scarring. Bluetail Medical Group has years of data showing its efficacy - especially with knee osteoarthritis!

During this treatment, a high volume of these cells is harvested from a patient's own bone marrow drawn from the pelvic area. Once the bone marrow cells have been concentrated, they are then injected into damaged joints to promote regeneration and healing.

This therapy is a safe, non-surgical treatment option for many sources of chronic orthopedic pain.

Gone are the days of one-size-fits-all PRP (platelet-rich plasma), though many clinics are still practicing this way, which is why it's imperative that you choose a Regenerative Medicine clinic with years of experience, a state-of-the-art lab to formulate your exact PRP and years of data tracking outcomes and "recipes".

Not every PRP "recipe" should be the same. For example, elderly patients require a higher platelet dose than younger patients, and larger joints (such as the knee) require a higher platelet dose than, soft tissue injuries, such as with tendons and ligaments.

Don't trust your orthobiologic treatments to just any physician who has taken a single weekend course. Only a handful of orthopedic practices and physicians have the years of experience that Bluetail Medical Group offers.

Bluetail Medical Group is a national leader in the field of non-surgical Orthobiological treatments, always moving the needle in improving outcomes with regenerative medicine. Let us join you on your orthopedic journey!

Gordon Ramsay Says He’s Lucky to Be Alive After Terrifying Bike Accident “I’m in pain. It’s been a brutal week,” he said.

It's summertime and the weather is hot!

When the weather starts heating up, it’s a great time to get outside and play — but it’s also a common time for orthopedic injuries to arise.

Our joints and tendons aren't always prepared for the extra exertion we put on them this time of year, so we tend to see an uptick in the number of patients coming to see us with orthopedic injuries - from small to large.

The great news is - Regenerative Medicine can often get you back on your feet. Whether you tear a tendon or hurt an old back injury, Bluetail Medical Group can help!

Orthobiologics may help.

Bluetail Medical Group's Dr. Luga Podesta of Naples, FL, recently presented his work on treating UCL injuries in throwing athletes with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy to the ESSKA 2024 Meeting in Milan, Italy!

PRP therapy is a promising treatment for torn ligaments that may help with accelerated healing and long-term pain relief. It can be used alone or in combination with other therapies to treat chronic conditions that cause pain and dysfunction, such as tendon and ligament injuries. PRP therapy may also help shorten recovery time and allow patients to return to sports and activities sooner.

June is Men's Health Month, so it's a great time to raise awareness for orthopedic conditions and how they affect men's health.

Everything from physically demanding jobs to high-impact sports to the stress patterns caused by greater muscle mass play a significant role in the risk of developing serious orthopedic conditions or injuries. Orthopedic injuries can affect all men regardless of age, gender, or level of physical ability. These injuries to the musculoskeletal system can have life-long consequences it not treated timely and correctly, leading to life-long pain, osteoarthritis or other musculoskeletal issues.

Owen Martin, a highly-ranked distance runner from Xavier High School in Connecticut, traveled to Bluetail - St. Louis this past winter with his mom to see Dr. Matt Bayes where he was treated with orthobiologics to address some ongoing foot and ankle pain. After completing some physical therapy back home, his hard work earned him a PR of 4:13.79 in the 1600 at the CT state championship this spring.

Dr. Bayes has developed quite an impressive fan base with the elite running community in the CT area. Whether you are an elite runner or a weekend warrior, Dr. Bayes has you covered!

Stem Cell Therapy, using your OWN stem cells, has been effective in relieving back pain caused by degenerative disc disease for many patients! Unlike other tissues in the body, the spine's discs have a very limited blood supply and are unable to repair themselves. Stem cells inserted (via injection under ultrasound guidance) into a damaged disc help to promote healing and relieve pain.

If you are living with orthopedic pain due to chronic conditions, such as osteoarthritis, or injury, this event is for you!

Have you ever found yourself aching but unable to decide if you should go for ice or heat for the best pain relief?

A good general rule of thumb is to use ice for very recent injuries and heat for long-term chronic pain. Ice constricts blood vessels, numbs pain and reduces inflammation - which is what you need for new injuries. Heat, on the other hand, increases blood flow to relax tight muscles and aching joints. Heat can increase inflammation for certain injuries, so give us a call if you are unsure.

ICE:
🌬New injuries
🌬Sprains and strains
🌬Sports injuries
🌬Throbbing headaches
🌬Tendinitis

HEAT:
🔥Arthritis
🔥Muscle spasms
🔥Tendinosis
🔥Muscles & Joints that are stiff due to previous strain or sprain after inflammation is gone

"Dr . Oliver,
I just wanted to say thank you one more time. This past weekend I finally completed the grand canyon rim to rim hike. We hiked a total of 30 miles over a 21 hour period (with a 6 hour sleep break) Our hiking time was just over 15 hours. My knee held up very well and I had no knee pain during the hike. I attribute this to the stemcells/prp, the arthroscopy (small shave of flap) and a good physical therapist. I honestly do not think I could have completed this without both the BCM/PRP procedure and your guidance!"
