Conditions Treated
Orthobiologics refers to the use of your own body’s natural substances to help treat damaged and painful tissue in the body. Substances such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) have different growth and signaling factors which can harness the body’s own healing abilities, promote tissue repair, reduce inflammation, improve function and enhance recovery. Conditions such as chronic injuries, osteoarthritis, and sports-related injuries may be improved, possibly delaying and even sometimes avoiding surgery. This is still considered an emerging field of medicine, but orthobiologics have shown promise in providing less invasive and non-surgical treatment options for many orthopaedic conditions.
