Orthobiologics for Healing Explained

When it comes to healing from injuries, your body possesses an incredible, natural ability to repair itself. But what if you could accelerate your recovery without invasive surgeries or pills?

At Tadje Orthopaedics, our specialty lies in maximizing your body’s healing potential. Jared Tadje, MD, and our experienced team harness this potential with orthobiologics, a type of regenerative medicine that’s becoming increasingly sought-after among pro athletes, celebrities, and everyday people recovering from injury or surgery.

These cutting-edge treatments use natural substances derived directly from your own tissues, including stem cells or blood platelets, for healing and repair. Here, learn how orthobiologics work to speed your recovery.

Understanding orthobiologics

Our team at Tadje Orthopaedics uses orthobiologics to treat acute injuries and chronic conditions that affect the joints, muscles, and soft tissues, such as your tendons, ligaments, and cartilage. 

We take cells from your body to improve recovery outcomes after an injury, surgery, or to ease symptoms of degenerative disorders like osteoarthritis.

To address your needs, we offer the following orthobiologic treatment options:

Platelet-rich plasma therapy

Platelets are tiny blood cells that are full of growth factors, proteins that stimulate tissue repair and regeneration. During platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, we process a small blood sample of your blood to isolate and concentrate the platelets.

When we inject PRP into the healing area, it delivers a potent dose of growth factors, accelerating your body’s healing response. 

Why choose orthobiologics?

Orthobiologics promote healing with a high success rate in regenerative applications. Studies show that orthobiologic treatments are effective in up to 80% of patients. Here’s why they’re gaining popularity:

Easing pain

By stimulating the body’s natural repair processes, orthobiologics can reduce pain and inflammation associated with conditions like tendinitis, ligament injuries, and arthritis.

Accelerating healing

These therapies can speed the healing process substantially, allowing you to return to your active lifestyle sooner.

Helping you move

By promoting tissue regeneration and repair, orthobiologics can improve function and mobility in your joints.

Minimally invasive

Orthobiologic treatments are minimally invasive, typically involving a simple needle puncture to collect a blood sample and a series of injections to deliver the biologic solution back into your body. 

This means less downtime and a quicker recovery compared with traditional surgeries.
