Orthobiologic Therapies

If you have an orthopedic condition or injury that hasn’t responded to traditional treatments, an orthobiologic therapy might be the right choice for you.

Orthobiologics are powerful, alternative treatments that have been proven effective at relieving pain and other symptoms of certain orthopedic conditions.

When employed alongside conventional treatments such as physical therapy, orthobiologics can provide long-lasting relief from a variety of musculoskeletal problems — and can even be an alternative to surgery for those suffering from orthopedic injuries, joint pain, or muscle pain.

How do orthobiologic treatments work?

Orthobiologics use a patient’s own cells to stimulate healing. They cover a range of therapies that employ natural substances — platelet rich plasma (PRP), bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC), and others — found in your body’s tissues.

When isolated and used in high concentrations in targeted areas such as joints, tendons or ligaments, these compounds can naturally stimulate healing and reduce inflammation. The result can be reduced pain, enhanced function, and an improved quality of life.  

How are orthobiologics administered?

Orthobiologic procedures are administered on an outpatient basis. They are minimally invasive, performed with local anesthetics in an office setting. Depending on the therapy, an orthobiologic procedure can last as little as a few minutes, up to a maximum of two hours.
