What is Regenerative Medicine?
Regenerative medicine is the practice of increasing your body’s natural abilities to heal itself by providing a “boost” of essential vitamins, minerals, and nutrients.
Over time, tissues in the body become damaged by trauma, disease, or degeneration and leave you with pain or loss of function. Regenerative medicine uses the latest therapies to reverse that damage and restore the function of the body through natural pathways.
Here at Blue Mountain Wellness, we go beyond disease management. Our Regenerative medicine practice addresses the root cause of damage, then uses top therapies to support the body in repairing, regenerating, and restoring itself naturally.
Does it Really Work?
Joint Pain Solutions
Joint pain can be felt in multiple parts of the body. Age, weight, previous injuries, overuse, and other medical conditions can all be factors of joint pain.
Joint discomfort is common and usually felt in the hands, feet, hips, knees, or spine. Pain may be constant or it can come and go. Sometimes the joint can feel stiff, achy, or sore. Some patients complain of a burning, throbbing, or “grating” sensation. In addition, the joint may feel stiff in the morning but loosen up and feel better with movement and activity. However, too much activity could make the pain worse.
Joint pain may affect the function of the joint, and can limit a person’s ability to do basic tasks. Severe joint pain can affect the quality of life. Treatment should focus not only on pain but also on the affected activities and functions.

Rotator Cuff Tear
The shoulder is the most mobile joint in your body. It is capable of a wide range of motion which also makes it prone to injury. The shoulder is a ball-and-socket joint surrounded by a group of four muscles. This structure is critical for stabilizing the upper arm and shoulder and is referred to as the rotator cuff.
Tears of the rotator cuff are a common cause of shoulder pain. Damage to the rotator cuff is often a result of trauma to the shoulder, such as with a sports injury or vehicle accident, or caused by wear and tear that occurs over time.
A rotator cuff tear can range in severity. The most common indication of a torn rotator cuff is pain or weakness felt in the shoulder, especially when lifting or rotating your arm.
Our doctors at Blue Mountain Wellness take many aspects of your health into consideration as they develop your treatment plan. Most often, a nonsurgical approach can be successful.

ABOUT US
PLATELET-RICH PLASMA (PRP) INJECTIONS
In recent years, doctors have learned that the body has the ability to heal itself. Platelet-rich plasma therapy is a form of regenerative medicine that can harness those abilities and amplify the natural growth factors your body uses to heal tissue.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy uses
injections
of a concentration of a patient’s own platelets to accelerate the healing of injured tendons, ligaments, muscles and joints. In this way, PRP injections use each individual patient’s own healing system to improve musculoskeletal problems.
PRP injections are prepared by taking anywhere from one to a few tubes of your own blood and running it through a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets. These activated platelets are then injected directly into your injured or diseased body tissue. This releases growth factors that stimulate and increase the number of reparative cells your body produces. *

WHY CHOOSE US
Non-Surgical Regenerative Medicine Treatments
While many forms of regenerative medicine research are still underway, some have already been shown to have great results. One treatment we offer, PRP (Plasma Rich Platelet), is the use of your own plasma injected into areas with poor blood supply. This increases the delivery of essential vitamins, minerals, and natural regenerative substances that give your body a “boost” of healing without medications or chemicals.

COSMETIC ALTERNATIVES
We offer natural alternatives to Botox and fillers.
Our treatments increase the natural production of collagen and elastin to reverse facial signs of aging without the use of toxins or harmful chemicals.
WHAT IS REGENERATIVE MEDICINE USED FOR?
Degenerative joint disease treatment (knees, shoulders)
Injuries of any muscles or joints
Arthritis caused from trauma
Back pain
Leg pain
Most orthopedic complaints
Facial signs of aging, like wrinkles, crows feet, fine lines, and age spots
WHAT CAN I EXPECT DURING A PRP TREATMENT?
In most cases, you’ll have an initial visit to collect a sample of your blood for processing before the platelets can be injected back into your system. The Doctor collects your blood as with a normal blood test and processes it in a centrifuge to separate the platelets.
She then injects the platelets into the treatment site. The injection only takes a few minutes and you can return to your normal activities the same day. The Doctor checks in with you over the following months to ensure you’re healing and experiencing less pain.

DOES JOIN PRP REALLY WORK?
Kolbe sat down with Dr.McKinney 6 weeks after his PRP injection with Blue Mountain Wellness.
After a few weeks, Kolbe had noticeable improvement and was able to throw a baseball with no pain. Kolbe tried cortisone shots with no success and would recommend PRP injections for any joint pain.
