Orthobiologic Injections Q & A
What are orthobiologic injections?
Orthobiologic injections use naturally occurring substances from your own blood or tissue to support the body's natural healing process. These treatments may help reduce pain and improve function in people with musculoskeletal injuries and degenerative conditions.
Orthobiologics are commonly used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan to help patients avoid or delay more invasive procedures.
What conditions can orthobiologic injections treat?
Dr. Foremny may recommend orthobiologic treatments for a variety of orthopedic conditions, including:
Osteoarthritis
Orthobiologics may help reduce joint pain and support joint function in patients with degenerative arthritis.
Tendon injuries
Conditions such as tendonitis and chronic tendon degeneration may benefit from orthobiologic treatments that support the body's natural healing process.
Ligament injuries
For certain ligament injuries — particularly partial tears that have not responded to conservative care — orthobiologic injections may be considered as an option to support healing.
Sports and overuse injuries
Athletes and active individuals often seek orthobiologic treatments which may help address injuries while supporting the body's natural repair mechanisms.
What types of orthobiologic injections are available?
Depending on your condition and treatment goals, Dr. Foremny may recommend:
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP)
PRP is created from a small sample of your blood. After processing, the concentrated platelets are injected into the treatment area to deliver growth factors that support healing.
Cell-based therapies
Bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC), sometimes called a 'stem cell' treatment, uses cells and growth factors from your own bone marrow to support healing and recovery. While often referred to as 'stem cells,' BMAC contains a mix of cells and growth factors that play a role in the body's natural healing process.
Why choose orthobiologic injections?
These therapies are used with the goal of:
- Supporting your body's natural healing process
- Reducing pain
- Improving function and mobility
- Minimizing downtime, with a minimally invasive approach
Because every patient and condition is unique, Dr. Foremny performs a thorough evaluation to determine whether orthobiologic injections are an appropriate option for your needs.
