A Scottsdale regenerative injection practice offering prolotherapy, platelet-rich plasma and bone marrow concentrate, guided by in-clinic diagnostic ultrasound.
Arizona Prolotherapy is a regenerative injection practice in Scottsdale, Arizona, run by Dr David A. Tallman, who holds qualifications as a chiropractor and as a naturopathic medical doctor. He is not a medical doctor in the conventional sense, which is worth understanding before booking. The practice describes itself as working in naturopathic orthopaedics and says it has more than two decades of clinical experience.
The core treatments are injection-based. Prolotherapy involves injecting an irritant solution into a ligament or tendon. Regenerative injection therapy is a broader term for the same family of treatments. Platelet-rich plasma is prepared from the patient's own blood. Bone marrow aspirate concentrate is drawn from the patient's own marrow and concentrated before injection, and this is what the practice describes as stem cell treatment. Mesotherapy is also offered.
Injections are guided by diagnostic ultrasound, and the practice says it uses radiology-grade Canon ultrasound machines. The practice states that it has performed tens of thousands of procedures; this is a figure it publishes about itself and it has not been independently verified. Conditions covered are musculoskeletal, spanning the neck, back, shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand, hip, knee, ankle and foot, along with chronic pain, headaches, osteoarthritis, sports injuries and injuries from work or road traffic accidents.
The list covers most of the musculoskeletal system. Ask what evidence supports the use of these injections in your particular joint or condition, as it varies widely.
All material used comes from the patient's own body. No donor tissue is described.
The practice is run by a single clinician, who is a chiropractor and naturopathic doctor rather than a conventionally licensed physician.
The clinic is at 8300 N Hayden Road, Suite A111, Scottsdale, Arizona 85258. It is open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, 8am to 5pm, Mountain Standard Time. The practice says it has more than two decades of clinical experience and uses radiology-grade Canon ultrasound equipment. Languages spoken and international patient services are not stated.
