Alpine Spine & Orthopedics

We are Utah's premier spine, orthopedics, & regenerative medicine clinic providing cutting-edge diagnostics, imaging, and therapeutic interventions for a wide variety of issues including acute injuries, complex disorders, and chronic conditions. We care for every patient no matter how severe the problem-- from professional athletes to trauma patients seeking to recover basic functions in life, your optimal health and well-being are our top priority and we provide personalized care for your unique needs and situation.

We manage a wide variety of complex spine, orthopedic, nerve, & pain conditions and sports medicine injuries, with a focus on minimally-invasive image-guided interventional procedures that directly target and repair specific tissues. We understand the many complexities of spine, joint, cartilage, tendon, ligament, bone, muscle, brain, and nerve injuries. With our deep and broad expertise, we can help to not just relieve symptoms but also to find the complex underlying pathological problems with advanced diagnostic imaging to address many intricate interacting mechanisms and enhance injury recovery and tissue repair using state-of-the-art technologies and minimally-invasive neurologic and orthopedic interventions. In addition to standard treatments, we also offer the most cutting-edge regenerative and cell-based therapies to optimize healing and recovery.

We understand the effects of extraordinary wear and tear on the body from trauma, training, age, and other factors and conditions. The human body requires some amount of stress and strain to improve strength and performance, yet not so much that it leads to chronic irrecoverable injury. The fine balance and intricate cycle of healing involves numerous biochemical and physiologic pathways, and we can provide powerful tools from molecular signaling factors to regenerative orthopedic procedures to overcome injuries and enhance recovery and tissue repair.

Dr. Richard J. McMurtrey MD, MSc is one of the only doctors in the world who has both neurosurgical and orthopedic surgery expertise as well as tissue engineering and stem cell research discoveries at some of the best university research labs in the world. We treat everyone from the youngest to the oldest patients, and from elite athletes to trauma patients just learning to use their limbs again, and we always provide the same advanced care and compassion that we would want for ourselves and our own family, as seen in our outstanding patient reviews.
