John Pitts

MD

Dr. Pitts is originally from Chicago, IL but is a medical graduate of Vanderbilt School of Medicine in Nashville, TN. After Vanderbilt, he completed a residency in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) at Emory University in Atlanta, GA.
In residency, he gained much experience in musculoskeletal medicine, rehabilitation, spine, and sports medicine along with some regenerative medicine. He also gained significant experience in fluoroscopically guided spinal procedures and peripheral injections. However, Dr. Pitts wanted to broaden his skills and treatment options beyond the current typical standards of care. Thus, he came to Colorado as a fellow to learn more about regenerative medicine and interventional orthopedics as well as to further develop his skills in fluoroscopic guided procedures, diagnostic ultrasound, and interventional ultrasound.

He has been involved in the research and development of regenerative procedures and post-procedural rehabilitation. He is the current fellowship director, teaches Regenexx affiliates, and regularly teaches at regenerative medicine conferences. Additionally, he has interests in nutrition, supplements, and complementary and alternative medicine. He has written a nutrition guide; Nutrition 2.0: 21st Century Guide to Nutrition and Health as Dr. Pitts believes in taking a holistic approach to patient care. He also is a main editor of the Atlas of Interventional Orthopedics, the first full textbook on the new field of Interventional Orthopedics to educate physicians on why and how to perform these injection procedures. Dr. Pitts is board certified in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. In his spare time, he enjoys most outdoor activities, sports, biking, hiking, snowboarding, lifting weights, and traveling with his wife and 2 children.
