SDOMG’s Patient Guide to PRP Therapy for Orthopedic Conditions

For more than a decade, the physicians at San Diego Orthobiologics have treated thousands of people just like you, using innovative cell-based therapies. These treatments use a patient’s own cells or substances produced by those cells and are known as orthobiologics. Regenerative Medicine is a medical specialty that is based on the fact that the body has an innate ability to heal itself using orthobiologics, such as platelets, plasma, stem cells, and many others.

Rather than merely alleviating symptoms, Regenerative Medicine has the potential to heal chronic injuries such as tennis elbow, rotator cuff tendon tears, osteoarthritis, sciatica, and low back pain due to disc or joint degeneration. They are safe and effective alternatives to standard medical treatments such as steroid injections or surgery. Over the years, our patients have asked hundreds of questions about cell-based therapy, so we decided to assemble the most common questions, and their answers, here.

We are physicians that make medical decisions based on the most current scientific evidence. Therefore, we’ve included the relevant scientific publications that we use to help our patients in this review.
