If you’re dealing with chronic pain, sports injuries, or recovering from surgery, you may feel frustrated and concerned about how to achieve optimal healing and long-term wellness. OrthoBiologics are designed to assist your body in its natural healing process, utilizing biological substances derived from your own body or from carefully selected donor tissues. These treatments can be particularly beneficial for conditions such as arthritis, tendonitis, ligament injuries, and cartilage damage, among others.
At Mattalino Orthopaedic in Scottsdale, AZ, Dr. Angelo Mattalino is dedicated to providing his patients with the latest advancements in orthopedic care, including the use of OrthoBiologics. But what exactly are OrthoBiologics, and what kind of conditions can they be used to treat?
OrthoBiologics: Harnessing the Body’s Healing Power
OrthoBiologics is a term that refers to naturally derived substances used to aid in the healing of orthopedic tissues, such as bones, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. This innovative approach to treatment harnesses the body’s own regenerative capabilities to promote healing, reduce inflammation, and restore function.
The foundation of OrthoBiologics lies in the body’s natural inflammatory and healing responses. When an injury or condition occurs, the body rushes growth factors and other healing compounds to the affected area, initiating the repair process. OrthoBiologic treatments are designed to amplify and support this innate healing mechanism.
Some of the key OrthoBiologic therapies utilized at Mattalino Orthopaedic include:
- Exosomes: Extracellular vesicles that carry important signaling molecules, proteins, and genetic material between cells, helping to stimulate tissue regeneration.
- Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP): A concentration of the patient’s own platelets, which are a rich source of growth factors and other healing compounds.
- Amniotic Allograft: A regenerative biologic treatment derived from the amniotic membrane and fluid, containing a high concentration of growth factors, anti-inflammatory agents, proteins, and hyaluronic acid.
Conditions Treated With OrthoBiologics
OrthoBiologic treatments can be used to address a wide range of orthopedic conditions, both acute and chronic. Some of the most common applications include:
- Acute Injuries
- Sprains and strains
- Tendon and ligament tears
- Muscle injuries
- Fractures
Chronic Conditions
- Osteoarthritis
- Tendinitis
- Bursitis
- Degenerative joint disease
By stimulating the body’s natural healing processes, OrthoBiologics can help reduce inflammation, alleviate pain, and promote the regeneration of damaged tissues. This, in turn, can help patients avoid or delay the need for more invasive surgical interventions.
The Benefits of OrthoBiologic Treatments
One of the key advantages of OrthoBiologic therapies is their minimally invasive nature. Many of these treatments can be administered through simple injections, often with the guidance of imaging technologies to ensure precise delivery to the affected area. This helps reduce the risk of complications and shorten the recovery time compared to traditional surgical approaches.
Additionally, OrthoBiologics are generally well-tolerated, as they are derived from the patient’s own body or from ethically sourced, high-quality donor materials. This helps minimize the risk of adverse reactions or rejection.
Perhaps most importantly, OrthoBiologic treatments are designed to address the root cause of the problem, rather than just masking the symptoms. By stimulating the body’s natural healing processes, these therapies can help patients achieve long-lasting relief and restore proper function to the affected area.
