So why regenerative medicine in general? Like what was was there something that you were seeing a lot of before you went into private practice that, you know, kind of prompted saying I got to do something with this. We are seeing more and more of the regenitive medicine being done by non operative sports medicines in a you know, even an outpatient setting. And so I’m the non operative sports medicine kind of doctor, there’s certainly operative orthopedics and spine, but the non operative sports medicine Doc’s these days, you know, as we get more minimally invasive with the tools we use, and all the different techniques we have, and better placement guidance tools with ultrasound and floor scopes, and all that great stuff. And so that’s really, you know, kind of my regenerative medicine background, I originally trained in emergency medicine, have a residency in emergency medicine, and then did a fellowship in sports medicine. And Bluetail Medical Group has been around since 2008, in multiple markets around the US, and we’ve been able to really help in defining what regenerative medicine is able to treat effectively and come up with good protocols for lots of different musculoskeletal conditions that are chronic and problematic to treat otherwise. And then we kind of brought on partners and grew into blue tail Medical Group. And so we started doing regenerative medicine back in the 2004 timeframe. Crane and initial background, started back around 2004 with just a solo practice and came out of a academic typesetting and really saw that we as a musculoskeletal medicine practice weren’t really handling a lot of the chronic degenerative conditions very well. Thanks for having me, Greg, this is really fun to be on another podcast, we totally appreciate it. Why don’t you introduce yourself to the listeners, tell us kind of your background, what you do, why you’re here. Without further ado, let’s get into the interview with Dr. Crane and I discuss a variety of topics including his passion for Regenerative Medicine, how his practice has changed over the last couple of years, and the medical system as a whole. Cranes, other interests are in helping patients with functional medicine, active movement, and fall mechanics. He is currently working with the FDA on a directed and for knee osteoarthritis.
