Why Consider Orthobiologics?
In the modern healthcare journey, patients are no longer passive recipients but active participants, seeking the best and most advanced treatments available. As orthopedic concerns pose challenges that can often disrupt daily life, finding the right solution becomes paramount.
Beyond its impressive name lies a treatment philosophy rooted in nature’s wisdom. It’s about leveraging what’s innate, what’s organic, and what has been refined by evolution: the body’s remarkable ability to heal itself. By alleviating pain and discomfort, orthobiologics opens avenues for non-surgical solutions, enabling many to either delay or, in certain instances, completely sidestep traditional surgical interventions.
Here are a few reasons why Orthobiologics is catching the attention of both medical professionals and those in need of orthopedic care:
1. Minimally Invasive: Unlike traditional surgeries that can be daunting and carry longer recovery times, Orthobiologics offers less invasive solutions, allowing for quicker recovery and lesser downtime.
2. Natural Healing: By tapping into the body’s resources, such as platelets, cells from your own body, and other growth factors, Orthobiologics promotes natural healing, potentially leading to more sustainable and longer-lasting results.
3. Cutting-Edge Innovation: In a field that’s constantly advancing, Orthobiologics stands out as one of the latest and most promising. It’s where traditional knowledge meets modern science, giving patients the best of both worlds.
4. Versatility: Orthobiologics is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Its diverse treatments can be tailored to suit various orthopedic conditions, offering hope to a broader range of patients.
In a world where medical choices can be overwhelming, it’s essential to know about all the options available. Orthobiologics offers a blend of nature’s prowess with medical innovation, making it a consideration worth exploring for those on the path to healing.
Types of Orthobiologic Treatments
Orthobiologics is an exciting area of orthopedic care that uses the body’s own materials to help heal injuries. Let’s dive into some of the main treatments this field offers. These treatments signal a departure from invasive procedures and encompass diverse approaches to cater to various orthopedic conditions.
Here’s a glance at some of the cornerstone treatments in the world of Orthobiologics:
- Alpha-2 Macroglobulin (A2M) Treatment: Involves the use of a plasma protein found in the blood, concentrated and injected into joints to inhibit enzymes responsible for cartilage degradation, especially in conditions like osteoarthritis. This treatment aims to reduce pain, improve joint function, and possibly delay the need for joint replacement surgeries. It’s one of several biologic treatments being explored for osteoarthritis alongside options like PRP. Learn More
- Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy: PRP therapy involves drawing a small amount of the patient’s blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and then reintroducing it into the injured area. The concentrated platelets release growth factors that accelerate tissue repair and reduce inflammation. Learn More
- Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC): BMAC therapy involves extracting bone marrow, typically from the patient’s hip bone. This marrow, rich in stem cells, is then concentrated and injected into the injury site to facilitate repair and regeneration. Learn More
Costs of Orthobiologics and insurance coverage
BMAC-based stem cell treatments are currently not covered by any of the insurance plans including Medicare. The cost of your treatment depends on the complexity of the condition and the number of areas to be injected. Care Credit payments are accepted.
