Ultrasound Guided Regenerative Medicine

Dr. Shawn Tierney DC RMSK under ultrasound guidance is able to diagnose/treat problems of the musculoskeletal system.  With ultrasound you can perform dynamic tests of the affected area (ie - test the stability of the tibia fibular joint in the knee, acromioclavicular joint instability, lumbar facet hypertrophy) that you can't see with Magnetic Resonsonace Imagining (MRI) or X-ray. Ultrasound has 2.5 times the magnification of (MRI) so you can clearly see nerve entrapments, muscle ruptures, tendon tears, and calcific spurs.

Diagnostic Ultrasound exams

Using musculoskeletal ultrasound guidance, Dr. Tierney is able to identify and diagnose musculoskeletal problems that are interfering with your normal routines.

Nerve Hydrodissection

Working with other medical professionals, under musculoskeletal ultrasound guidance Dr. Tierney is able to guide procedures that use water to create space around an entrapped nerve and relieve pain, numbness, tingling caused by a nerve entrapment. Common nerve entrapments are "Sciatica pain, cervical radiculapathy, lumbar radiculapathy, carpal tunnel syndrome"

Skye biologics placental matrix Allograft

A regenerative option that uses a scaffolding matrix to help rebuild damaged tissue such as tendons, meniscus, or help repair damage from an arthritic condition.

Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB)

A stellate ganglion block is a procedure where a local anesthetic is placed around a small nerve bundle in the neck called the sympathetic chain. It is a "reboot" of your sympathetic nervous system to treat PTSD, anxiety, and improve your athletic and mental performance.

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)

PRP is derived from your own blood.  A blood draw is taken, put in a centrifuge and the white blood cells are concentrated.  Once concentrated these can be reinjected into the patient in the injured area to accelerate the healing process.

Bone Marrow Stem Cells

Bone marrow is rich in bone marrow stromal or mesenchymal stem cells (MSC’s). When these cells are placed in the proper area, they can differentiate into cells that are part of the musculoskeletal system and accelerate the healing process.
