Orthobiologic Therapy
At Iowa Ortho, we offer orthobiologic therapy, an innovative, nonsurgical treatment that uses components derived from a patient’s own body to help support the body’s natural healing processes. This approach is designed to aid recovery and manage symptoms associated with various orthopedic conditions.
How Orthobiologic Therapy Works
The orthobiologic therapy process is straightforward and minimally invasive:
- Sample Collection: A small sample is taken, typically from the patient’s blood.
- Preparation: The sample is processed to concentrate specific biological components.
- Injection: The prepared orthobiologic material is carefully injected into the targeted area.
- Recovery: Most patients are able to resume normal daily activities soon after the procedure.
- Follow-Up: Depending on the condition, results may develop gradually over several weeks or months.
Conditions Commonly Addressed With Orthobiologic Therapy
Orthobiologic therapy may be recommended as part of a treatment plan for certain orthopedic concerns, including:
- Tennis elbow and other tendon-related issues
- Osteoarthritis of the knee, shoulder, or hip
- Tendon and ligament injuries
- Muscle strains
By addressing these conditions early, Orthobiologic therapy can significantly reduce the need for surgical intervention.
Benefits of Orthobiologic Therapy
- Nonsurgical: A conservative treatment option that does not require surgery.
- Low Risk: Performed using the patient’s own biological materials under sterile conditions.
- Minimal Downtime: Most patients return to normal activities shortly after treatment.
- Symptom Management: Designed to help reduce discomfort and support improved mobility.
