Welcome to Blue Umbrella Medical Center
Your Destination for Regenerative Sports Medicine
Traditional approach to sports injuries is falling short when it comes to the needs of today's youth athletes. With young athletes engaging in intense training at increasingly early ages, their bodies often struggle to cope with the strain. Add to that the year-round competition with limited time for rest and recovery, and you have a recipe for overuse injuries. The relentless pursuit of excellence in sports is pushing athletes beyond the limits of their physiology, resulting in chronic overuse injuries in youth, early-onset degenerative conditions, and painful joint replacements in later years.
At Blue Umbrella Medical Center, our mission is to safeguard young athletes, rejuvenate older ones, empower elite players, and ensure that everyone can continue playing their best game! By harnessing cutting-edge technologies and innovations in Regenerative Medicine while honoring the principles of biomechanics, we can deliver unparalleled results at any age!

Young Athletes
Recognizing when young athletes are in pain can be challenging for parents and coaches. Distinguishing between growing pains (or typical soreness) and genuine injuries that demand attention can be incredibly stressful. Our deepest fear is a career-ending injury that robs a young athlete of their dreams and potential.
The prevalence of year-round sports and the lack of cross-training opportunities often lead to the overdevelopment of specific muscle groups in young athletes, creating physiological imbalances. While this phenomenon can occur in any sport, it is more common in baseball, softball, swimming, gymnastics, soccer, volleyball, tennis, golf, cheerleading, and football. These muscle imbalances not only increase the risk of injury but also complicate the rehabilitation process.
Adult Athletes
As we age, our tissues become less flexible and more prone to injury. Scar tissue from past traumas can accumulate, causing pain and dysfunction. The longer we ignore these injuries, the more likely we are to develop compensatory patterns (e.g., favoring an injured right knee, which eventually leads to issues in the left knee). Treating painful joints in adult athletes often necessitates a comprehensive, whole-person approach.
Evaluating adult athletes requires a more in-depth assessment, and treatment protocols can be more involved. At Blue Umbrella Medical Center, our team achieves results where others have faltered because we address both the primary condition and any secondary issues or compensations.
Redefining the Standard of Care
Conventional sports medicine often relies on muscle relaxers, painkillers, steroids, and surgery. Muscle relaxers and painkillers come with numerous side effects and fail to address the root cause of pain. Steroid injections can damage joints and surrounding tissues, limiting the number of injections in a specific area. Surgery, despite the surgeon's skill, inevitably leads to scar tissue, and there is a stigma in the sports world associated with athletes who have undergone joint repair procedures. Scholarships and recruiting opportunities may become limited for players perceived as "damaged goods." This creates a real challenge for athletes who must work harder to gain the same attention and recognition as their peers.
The Blue Umbrella Medical Center Solution
First, we perform a Functional Movement Evaluation to determine whether the pain stems from a direct injury or secondary compensation (e.g., knee pain in a basketball player due to weak and immobile ankles). Addressing the root cause is crucial because conventional treatments often miss the mark by targeting the wrong area.
Second, we provide tailored exercises to rectify compensations, imbalances, or weaknesses. Our goal isn't just to alleviate pain but to facilitate complete healing, ensuring that the issue doesn't resurface. Often, the underlying problems are not immediately apparent, but once identified and treated, athletic performance can reach new heights!
Third, we identify the most effective regenerative therapies to expedite healing, minimize downtime, and deliver optimal outcomes for each specific injury. Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP), a technique successfully used by professional athletes for years, is now an affordable option for the general population thanks to technological advancements. Staying in the game is crucial, and Regenerative Medicine offers remarkable results without the extended recovery periods or surgical stigma. Additionally, as Regenerative Medicine therapies are entirely natural, damaged tissues can heal without the formation of scar tissue or concerns about adverse reactions or addiction.
It's worth noting that Blue Umbrella Medical also offers IV Therapy, as optimal hydration and nutrients have been shown to accelerate tissue healing and recovery. IV Therapy provides the best absorption of these essential resources.

Allergies...Who Needs Them Anyway?
Dear Tennessee,
We love you, but it's time to talk. Your outdoors contain an unreal amount of beauty, from the Smoky Mountains to the Mississippi River, but if you want us to enjoy them, these seasonal allergies have got to go.
Sincerely,
Everyone.
Do you love sneezing? We didn't think so. What about itchy, watery eyes and inflamed sinuses? Yeah, we didn't think that was the case either. So what gives?
in our great state of Tennessee, you would be hard-pressed to find someone who doesn't suffer from seasonal allergies. One of the most common things you'll hear from people moving in from out of state (of which there are more every day. And if you are one, then welcome!) is that 'I didn't have allergies until I moved to Tennessee!' Tourists and transplants alike come to one of the most beautiful places on earth only to not be able to enjoy it at its peak. How’s that for not being able to have your cake and eat it too?
Well...who says you CAN'T?
At Blue Umbrella Medical Center, we are finally launching our Immunotherapy program to address the effects of those pesky allergies! If it's relief you're after, then you'll find it with Immunotherapy! Over-the-Counter allergy medications can relieve some of the more bothersome symptoms, but the side effects of those medications (can I get an amen from our drowsy friends in the back?) can be real. Headaches, upset stomach, dry mouth, the list goes on. Fortunately, you don't have to 'pick your poison' anymore! Immunotherapy is a series of 10 injections over 10 months that gets you lasting relief from your allergy symptoms - with none of the side effects! Studies show that it can be very effective in greatly decreasing, or even ELIMINATING, the symptoms of allergies. Up to 85% of those treated receive a noticeable reduction, or a complete resolution, of their allergy symptoms.
if you're thinking that this is going to be way more expensive than your allergy medicine, it doesn't have to be! Most insurance plans cover skin allergy testing and Immunotherapy once medical necessity has been established. In other words, if your allergy test is positive, your insurance will likely cover this!
So we have to ask: Do you want to suffer another allergy season sneezing, feeling lethargic, stuffed up, and miserable? Again, we didn't think so.
