Orthobiologics Q & A

What are orthobiologic treatments?

Orthobiologic treatments use substances derived from your own body to support the body’s natural healing processes. These therapies are designed to help reduce inflammation, promote tissue repair, and support recovery in areas of the body that are injured or degenerating.

At South Texas Pain Institute, orthobiologic treatments may be used as part of a comprehensive pain management approach for patients recovering from auto accidents or personal injuries, or those experiencing persistent musculoskeletal pain.

What conditions may orthobiologic treatments help address?

Orthobiologic treatments are commonly used to support healing for musculoskeletal injuries and degenerative conditions, including:

Joint pain related to osteoarthritis
Tendon injuries, such as rotator cuff or Achilles tendon issues
Shoulder pain
Ligament injuries
Muscle strains or tears
Cartilage damage
Chronic joint inflammation
Sports-related injuries

Your care begins with a thorough evaluation to determine whether orthobiologic treatment may be an appropriate option for your specific condition.

What can I expect from an orthobiologic treatment plan?

Your provider will review your medical history, perform a physical exam, and may order imaging studies such as X-rays or MRI scans. If conservative treatments, such as physical therapy, medications, or traditional injections, have not provided sufficient relief, orthobiologic therapies may be considered.

For some patients, these treatments may help support healing and delay or reduce the need for more invasive procedures.

What happens during orthobiologic treatment?

Orthobiologic treatment plans are individualized but often involve the following steps:

Biologic material collection

Depending on the treatment type, biologic material may be collected from your own body using a minimally invasive technique.

Preparation

The collected material is processed to concentrate the biologic components used for treatment.

Injection

Your provider carefully injects the orthobiologic material into the targeted area using precise techniques.

Recovery and follow-up

Most patients return home the same day. Your provider will give you personalized recovery instructions, which may include temporary activity modifications and follow-up visits to monitor progress.

Recovery and outcomes vary, but many patients experience gradual improvement over time as the body responds to treatment.
