Orthobiologics
At Carolina Orthopaedic & Sports Medicine Center, we are committed to offering advanced solutions to provide pain relief for our patients. As a part of this effort, Dr. Erik Johnson and Dr. Tejas Parikh offer orthobiologic therapy, an innovative therapy treatment that promotes the body’s natural healing process.
What Is Orthobiologic Therapy?
Biologic substances like platelets have the potential to stimulate repair and speed healing. In orthobiologic therapy, a highly concentrated solution of a patient’s own platelets is injected into an injury site where it may induce the release of growth factors and stimulate rapid healing.
This process starts by withdrawing a small amount of blood from your arm. This sample is placed in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate the beneficial growth factors. The entire orthobiologic production process is usually done in less than 30 minutes.
