“We were at home one day and the kids out-of-the-blue said they wanted to do a triathlon,” Hunnius said. The spirit of their approach is perhaps best captured in a story relayed by Hunnius about his children, who are anxious to follow in the triathlete footsteps of their parents. “When we believe surgery is the better option we refer to surgeons who share the same approach to their patients as we do.” “We provide safe, evidence-based non-operative therapies as a viable and conservative option to surgery,” Vogt said.
Hunnius and Vogt continue to stay abreast of new developments in regenerative therapy and understand that sometimes more traditional treatments are required. “By utilizing non-invasive regenerative procedures we burn no bridges and can improve quality of life without surgery.”Īt SMaRT, the doctors also focus on sound nutrition and promoting “exercise as medicine,” all part of their emphasis on treating the whole patient. We also know that while total joint replacement surgeries can be very successful, they also come with significant risk,” Vogt said. “We know that traditional surgeries, such as knee arthroscopy, can lead to early arthritis. It’s an alternative prior to proceeding with surgery, which is a last resort in the vast majority of cases. While younger people have a tendency to heal on their own or with focused physical therapy, as individuals get older regenerative therapies can help expedite healing. In the short time since opening the doors, their patients have ranged in ages from 16 to 89. The doctors emphasize that sports medicine isn’t just for athletes. It contributes to their overall health and well-being.” “We treat athletes as well as senior patients, whether it be sport injuries or degenerative arthritis, who need to quickly return to play or just remain active in their personal pursuits. “We are really passionate about keeping patients active,” Dr. Vogt, a former Navy flight surgeon, played sports through his college years and now enjoys coaching in his children’s youth sports. Hunnius and his wife are both triathletes, and he recently completed a triathlon in Whistler, Canada. The doctors’ interest in sports medicine is closely associated with personal pursuits. David Crane (founder of Bluetail Medical Group).” “We couldn’t have a better mentor than Dr. “Regenerative therapy is a rapidly growing and changing field and we’re very excited to be involved with Bluetail,” Dr. SMaRT is an affiliate of Bluetail Medical Group, a national leader in regenerative therapy. Hunnius bring to their care for athletes as well as seniors who want to remain active.ĭue to recent advancements in research and technology, it’s only in the last few years that regenerative therapy has become a rapidly growing field of medicine. It’s part of the holistic approach that Dr. Regenerative therapy heals injuries by augmenting the healing process. “While the trend is to perform total joint surgery on younger and younger patients, we want to help our patients avoid surgery and the potential morbidity associated with it.” Total joint surgery can be very successful for certain groups of patients, but when it’s not successful, the complications can be devastating,” Dr. “There are over 500,000 total knee replacement surgeries performed each year in this country alone. Hunnius promote natural healing as an alternative to invasive surgeries. They also couldn’t have anticipated the recent advancements in regenerative therapy and the use of adult stem cells, which have become the centerpiece of treatments they provide at their new SMaRT Institute, an acronym for Sports Medicine and Regenerative Therapeutics Institute. Regenerative medicine didn’t even exist at the time, but in May 2017 that’s just what they did. Louis University, they didn’t expect that one day they would open a practice in Hinsdale affiliated with one of the top regenerative medicine providers in the country. When Matthew Vogt and David Hunnius met over 20 years ago as undergraduate students at St. Matthew Vogt and David Hunnius use the latest non-invasive approaches to help their patients maintain an active lifestyle.
