Orthobiologics Therapy
At Skyline Orthopedics, we offer advanced orthobiologic treatments designed to harness your body’s own healing potential using tissue-derived compounds and regenerative medicine. The orthobiologics therapies provide a biologic alternative or complement to traditional orthopedic surgery, including joint replacement surgery and arthroscopic surgery. These treatments can help reduce pain, improve joint function, and promote tissue healing for a range of musculoskeletal conditions, including acute injuries, chronic injuries, tendon injuries, cartilage injuries, and ongoing pain.
What Are Orthobiologics?
Orthobiologics are treatments made from natural substances found in your own body that are used to help regenerate or repair injured tissues, such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and stem cell treatments. They may reduce pain, improve function, and potentially delay or avoid more invasive surgical procedures like joint replacement surgery.
These therapies tap into biological healing mechanisms and are commonly used in orthopedic care to support recovery from orthopedic injuries, sports injuries, and degenerative joint conditions by enhancing the healing process and promoting tissue regeneration.
Common Conditions Treated With Orthobiologics Therapy
Symptoms That May Suggest Orthobiologic Treatment
Orthobiologics therapy may be recommended by your orthopedic specialist when conservative measures haven’t fully resolved symptoms, but surgery may not yet be necessary.
Orthobiologic Treatment Options at Skyline Orthopedics
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP therapy) uses concentrated platelets from your own blood to deliver growth factors directly to injured tissues. This orthobiologic treatment can promote healing, reduce inflammation in joints, tendons, and ligaments, and is commonly used by orthopedic doctors to treat muscle strains and other painful conditions.
Bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) is derived from your own bone marrow and contains high concentrations of stem and progenitor cells. It’s used to support healing in degenerative conditions and tissue damage.
These biologic materials can help reduce inflammation and provide a scaffold to support healing in joints and soft tissues.
Certain treatments use concentrated cellular elements to stimulate tissue repair and reduce pain in chronic conditions, helping many patients experience restored function and return to normal activities.
What to Expect During Orthobiologic Therapy Treatment
Orthobiologic procedures are typically performed in our office or outpatient setting using image guidance (such as ultrasound) to ensure precision. Most treatments require minimal downtime, and patients may see gradual improvement over weeks to months depending on the condition treated.
Recovery & Follow-Up
After orthobiologic treatment, a guided rehabilitation plan designed by your clinician helps optimize outcomes. This often includes:
- Activity modification
- Physical therapy
- Targeted strengthening
- Follow-up clinical evaluation
Most patients start therapy within days, with improvements unfolding over several weeks.
