OrthoBiologics May Help Your Injury Heal Faster
OrthoBiologics is a revolutionary treatment that can help people heal faster from injury.
Our medical team at QOMC treats pain, injury, and inflammation with the highest quality and safest regenerative medicine products available.
OrthoBiologics Explained
OrthoBiologics uses human cellular tissue products (HCTP) to repair injured or damaged body tissue. HCTP are able to regenerate many different cell types and can speed up your body’s healing process and restore optimal function.
OrthoBiologics isn’t a new medical specialty. The field has been studied OrthoBiologics for decades, performing stem cell transplants via the body’s bone marrow.
The cellular tissue products are injected into your injured joint, muscle, tendon or ligament and then undergo a process called differentiation, which means they mature into the appropriate cells needed to heal your injury. For example, if you have torn the meniscus in your knee, injected human cellular tissue products differentiate into meniscal cells.
Three types of OrthoBiologics
There are three different kinds of OrthoBiologics using human cellular tissue products.
Rejuvenation
This kind of OrthoBiologics, which uses HCTPs to encourage healing of damaged tissues, helps to overcome the harmful effects of chronic inflammation and other conditions that delay wounds from healing.
Replacement
Replacement HCTP treatment uses the process of differentiation to replace damaged or injured tissue.
Regeneration
This process involves injecting HCTP cells that restore the normal function of injured tissue, reinstating normal range of motion and movement patterns. Regeneration cushions and lubricates the joint allowing for better mobility and decreased pain.
What injuries can OrthoBiologics heal?
The FDA has approved OrthoBiologics for healing the following body parts:
- Knees
- Ankles
- Elbows
- Hips
- Shoulders
- Wrists
OrthoBiologics can treat all major body joints, which are the places that most commonly sustain injury. Researchers hope that human cellular tissue products can someday treat even the most complex conditions, such as spinal cord injuries and heart failure. At present, regenerative medicine treats these conditions:
- Chronic joint pain
- Inflammation
- Muscle pain
- Muscle tears or strains
- Ligament tears or sprains
- Cartilage damage caused by trauma or arthritis
Our medical team determines if OrthoBiologics is right for your condition by conducting a comprehensive physical exam and medical history. OrthoBiologics may be combined with therapies such as physical therapy and chiropractic care.
