Orthobiologics refers to a group of treatments that use natural substances to help heal injuries and improve the function of bones, joints, and soft tissues. These treatments often involve the use of materials derived from the body, such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or stem cells, to promote healing and reduce inflammation.
The goal of orthobiologics is to enhance the body’s natural healing processes. They are commonly used in sports medicine, orthopedics, and rehabilitation to treat conditions like tendon injuries, osteoarthritis, and ligament tears. By harnessing the body’s own healing capabilities, orthobiologics aim to provide safer and more effective treatment options.
