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.
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. *Source
How Does It Work?
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.
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. Dr. Reel 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. Dr. Reel 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.
How many Injections do I need?
After hundreds of patients clinical outcomes in our clinic, we have found a 3 series of injections to work the best. We recommend doing 3 injections over a 6 week period, spacing them out 2 weeks apart. This allows the joint to get enough nutrients to begin healing. The healing process can take several weeks and continue for months. Most of our patients see relief within 4-8 weeks and the effects can last a year and well beyond. Some patients get relief within a few days of their injection. It’s important to talk to on of our providers and have a detailed exam to determine if you’re a good candidate, and what your clinical outcomes may be.
