Regenerative medicine · Tulsa, OK
Ultrasound-guided PRP, placental tissue matrix, your own fat or bone marrow, prolotherapy, and nerve procedures, performed by a sports medicine physician who sees exactly where the needle goes.
Every procedure starts with diagnostic ultrasound, so we treat the structure that is actually injured.
Start with where it hurts
Tap an area to see the options most often considered for it. An exam and ultrasound decide the final plan.
Seven procedures, one goal: treat the tissue that is actually injured.
Your own blood
We draw a small sample of your blood, concentrate the platelets and the growth factors they carry, and place them in the injured tissue under ultrasound.
Often considered for: knee arthritis, tennis and golfer's elbow, Achilles and rotator cuff tendon pain, and some partial tears.
Blood draw and placement happen in the same visit.
Placental tissue matrix
A donated, screened placental tissue matrix placed at the injured structure. No blood draw and no harvest, so it is the quickest procedure we offer.
Often considered for: joint and tendon pain when you want a single, short in-office visit.
About a 30-minute appointment.
Your own fat tissue
A small amount of fat is collected under local anesthetic, gently processed, and placed in the joint during the same visit.
Often considered for: moderate knee, hip, or shoulder arthritis when PT, bracing, or other injections have not been enough.
Collected and placed the same day.
Your own bone marrow
Marrow is drawn from the back of the hip bone under local anesthetic and placed in the damaged joint during the same visit.
Often considered for: larger-joint arthritis and more advanced degeneration where a stronger biologic may be warranted.
Same-day, in-clinic procedure. Scheduling opens soon; ask to be added to the list.
Dextrose solution
A dextrose solution placed in and around a painful ligament, tendon, or fascia to restart a healing response that has stalled.
Often considered for: chronic low back and SI joint pain, ligament laxity, plantar fasciitis, lingering sprains, and tendon pain that rehab alone has not fixed.
Usually a series, spaced about 3 weeks apart.
Freeing a trapped nerve
Under live ultrasound, fluid is placed around an irritated nerve to separate it from the tissue that is pinning it down.
Often considered for: carpal tunnel, cubital tunnel, tarsal tunnel, and other nerve entrapments, often before considering release surgery.
More than one entrapment site can often be treated in the same visit.
Calming the nervous system
Local anesthetic placed near the sympathetic nerves in the lower neck to quiet pain signals that have become stuck in the "on" position.
Often considered for: complex regional pain and other sympathetically maintained pain patterns.
One in-office visit.

Why Vitality
Not every regenerative clinic works the same way. Here is what you can expect from us at each step.
What happens next
Fill out the short form: where it hurts, what you have tried, and what you are curious about.
Our team reaches out with answers, pricing, and whether an evaluation makes sense.
Dr. Barry Dockery examines you, scans the area with ultrasound, and gives you a plan and a quote.
Local anesthetic, ultrasound-guided placement, and clear aftercare instructions to take home.
We re-check, re-scan if needed, and decide together whether you are done or need another round.
Setting expectations
Unlike a numbing shot, biologic procedures work by kicking off a healing response. Here is the usual arc. Your timeline depends on the procedure and the tissue.
Soreness and warmth at the site, a sign the response has started.
Early repair begins. Activity gradually ramps back up.
Most people start noticing a real change. Your follow-up usually lands here.
Tissue keeps remodeling and getting stronger as you return to full activity.
Nerve hydrodissection and SGB work differently, and some people notice changes sooner. Dr. Barry Dockery will tell you what to expect for your plan.
Consulting physician
Dr. Dockery is a consulting physician who partners with Vitality to offer ultrasound-guided regenerative procedures. He specializes in orthopedics and sports medicine. He is passionate about serving people and giving them the education they need to make informed decisions about their care.
“When someone is injured or has pain, it not only takes a toll physically, but mentally as well. To get people back to what they enjoy doing in life is the greatest form of medicine.”
Barry Dockery, DOGenerally no. Most insurers still treat regenerative procedures as investigational. We are cash-pay, with financing options available. Our team can share current pricing and payment options when they follow up, and you get a quote before anything is scheduled.
Dr. Barry Dockery takes your history, examines the area, and scans it with diagnostic ultrasound. You leave with a clear explanation of what is going on, the options that fit, and a quote. Nothing is scheduled until you decide.
Some options use your own fat or bone marrow, which naturally contain a mix of cells. PRP, prolotherapy, and the placental matrix do not deliver live stem cells. We will always tell you plainly what is in your injection and what it is designed to do.
We numb the area first, so most people feel pressure more than pain. Expect soreness for a few days afterward. That is the healing response getting started.
Anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen and naproxen can blunt the response we are trying to create, so you will pause them before and after most procedures. Your prep instructions spell out exactly when, and what to take instead.
Start with the form. Our team will follow up, answer your questions, and help you decide whether an evaluation with Dr. Barry Dockery, our consulting physician, makes sense. If his exam and ultrasound point to a different path, such as surgery, physical therapy, or another specialist, he will tell you plainly.
You do not have to, but it often helps. A procedure starts the repair; gradually loading the area helps new tissue get strong. If you would like that support, Vitality's physical therapists can build the plan with you.
