Scientific Research

Our team has published literature on ultrasound diagnosis for orthopedic conditions, as well as other topics, throughout their career. Additionally, our staff regularly searches the leading orthopedic and regenerative medicine journals for research to guide our practice. Our doctors continue to compile the latest clinical research and new scientific technology, and they continue to lecture worldwide about ultrasound guided regenerative medicine. See articles below that help to support the work that we do.
