Orthobiologics
Orthobiologics
Orthobiologics treatment uses natural, biological substances—like platelet-rich plasma (PRP), stem cells, and hyaluronic acid—to enhance the body’s healing response in orthopedic conditions. These therapies are commonly used for arthritis, tendon injuries, ligament sprains, and cartilage damage. PRP injections stimulate tissue repair, while stem cells from bone marrow (BMAC) help regenerate damaged structures.
Hyaluronic acid provides joint lubrication, especially in osteoarthritis. Orthobiologics are minimally invasive, reduce inflammation, and may delay or eliminate the need for surgery. Recovery is typically quick, with most procedures performed on an outpatient basis, offering patients a safe, effective option for pain relief and functional improvement.
Orthobiologics treatment involves the use of natural substances—derived from the patient’s own body or biologically sourced—to enhance the healing of bones, joints, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. These therapies aim to accelerate recovery, reduce inflammation, and improve tissue regeneration, especially in orthopedic and sports injuries.
🔹 Common Orthobiologic Therapies
- Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP): Uses concentrated platelets to promote healing and reduce inflammation in joints or soft tissues.
- Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC): Contains stem cells that aid in tissue repair and regeneration.
- Amniotic Tissue Injections: Rich in growth factors and anti-inflammatory proteins.
- Hyaluronic Acid (HA): Injected into joints to improve lubrication and reduce pain in osteoarthritis.
