Orthobiologics

Orthobiologics is a cutting-edge approach in medicine that uses natural substances, or biologics, from one's own body to treat various issues. Ara Chitchyan, MD, and his team at American Rehabilitation Associates use an array of biologic therapies, including platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and growth factor injections, to help patients address many musculoskeletal injuries and reduce pain.

What are orthobiologics?

Orthobiologics is a rapidly advancing treatment modality that has immense capabilities in the fields of orthopedic medicine, physical rehabilitation, and interventional pain management. The treatment relies on your body's native healing substances, or biologics, to treat an array of orthopedic issues.

Biologic therapies utilize one's own platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or growth factors, which are collected before your procedure. In some cases, your provider uses bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) or adipose (fat) tissue as a mechanism for healing.

The collection process for PRP involves a simple blood draw, and the process for BMAC is completed via a simple outpatient procedure. You'll discuss both options and your goals at your appointment.

American Rehabilitation Associates is at the forefront of biologic therapy, enabling you to heal faster and return to normal function quickly.

What can orthobiologics treat?

Orthobiologics can help treat issues affecting your bones, muscles, tendons, and ligaments by bolstering your body's natural ability to repair itself. The state-of-the-art therapy works, in part, by jumpstarting the repair of torn or damaged tissues and inhibiting cartilage breakdown.

People experiencing the following can benefit from treatment with orthobiologics:

• Arthritis
• Inflammation
• Surgical pain
• Muscle strains
• Muscle sprains
• Muscle tears
• Broken bones
• Orthopedic fractures
• Overuse Injuries

Treatment with orthobiologics has been successful in addressing many diverse concerns.

The team at American Rehabilitation Associates routinely and successfully treats musculoskeletal injuries with this cutting-edge approach, allowing patients to return to the activities they love sooner than conventional therapies.

How can orthobiologics help me?

You might find relief with orthobiologics if you have an acute orthopedic issue or if you've been experiencing chronic pain.

If you have a moderate to severe injury, or if you've been told that you need surgery, you may be able to recover fully from your injury with dedicated biologic care. Alternatively, orthobiologics can help you return to function faster if you've already had surgery.
