What Are Orthobiologics?
ORTHOBIOLOGICS are substances derived from cells and cell products found in your own body. They are designed to heal bones, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, muscles, nerves and intervertebral discs. We use them to permanently heal injured tissues more quickly and naturally. Examples of Orthobiologics include platelets, plasma, fibrin, protease inhibitors, growth factors and stem cells.
