The Safety of Orthobiologics
Are orthobiologic therapies safe? Orthobiologics, a regenerative therapy that uses the body’s own stem cells to promote healing, is newer than many other orthopedic treatments. However, we believe this therapy has been demonstrated to be safe and effective through:
- Research studies, including clinical trials
- Comparison to other available therapies
- Experience of our physicians and patients
At Summit Orthopedics, our team of experts is dedicated to safety and expertise in regenerative medicine therapies. We provide innovative Orthobiologics therapies for patients in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area looking for an alternative to traditional treatments.
How We Evaluate the Safety of Orthobiologics
Researchers are currently exploring several types of orthobiologics for orthopedic conditions. Summit Orthopedics offers the primary options that meet Food and Drug Administration guidelines for regenerative therapies.
We Follow the Latest Research and Guidelines
Our specialists are highly trained and educated on the topic of orthobiologics. They’ve done the research, studied the results and performed the procedures. They know as much about orthobiologics as any specialist in the region or beyond. In clinical trials and countless patient cases, orthobiologics has shown great progress and promise in treating orthopedic injuries and issues.
We Compare Treatments to Offer the Safest, Most Effective Ones
Doctors have used cortisone injections to relieve pain in arthritic joints for more than 70 years. That treatment works and can offer effective pain relief, although the relief is typically short lived. In addition, long-term use of cortisone injections can potentially have negative side effects.
In comparison, orthobiologic treatments, such as platelet-rich plasma injection therapy (PRP) or a bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) injection, may be safer for the joint over time. Orthobiologics not only significantly reduces pain and have anti-inflammatory properties, but they also stimulate healing.
We Have the Experience
Our specialists perform a high volume of orthobiologic treatments. We continue to learn from our experiences and those of our patients. We refine our processes and monitor every patient closely to make sure they’re thriving, not just in the days after the procedure but for the months to follow.
Although regenerative therapies can’t replace surgical interventions in all cases, orthobiologics offers a safe and effective alternative for people looking for lasting relief from pain and inflammation.
