The Promise of Orthobiologics for Pain Management
Orthobiologic treatments are revolutionizing the field of pain management by harnessing the body's natural healing abilities to accelerate tissue and organ repair. These innovative treatments hold great promise for addressing and managing pain. Already, orthobiologics for pain management have made significant strides for patients with arthritis, athletic injuries, and chronic joint pain. The treatments have resulted in improved healing time for many patients, thereby enhancing mobility and reducing the need for surgery.
Spine LLC, located in Columbus, Ohio, with offices in Dublin and Gahanna, offers two innovative orthobiologic treatments: platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy and stem cell therapy. These treatments show promise in not only promoting healing but also effectively addressing arthritis and stimulating the body's innate healing process for a range of orthopedic conditions.
Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is an orthobiologic treatment that utilizes the patient's own blood to accelerate healing. The procedure involves extracting a small amount of blood from the patient, which is then processed to separate the platelets from other blood components. Platelets, rich in growth factors and proteins, play a crucial role in tissue repair. Once concentrated, the platelet-rich plasma is injected directly into the damaged area, stimulating the body's natural healing response. PRP therapy has shown remarkable results in reducing pain, improving joint function, and promoting tissue healing.
Stem Cell Therapy
Stem cell therapy is a groundbreaking orthobiologic treatment that utilizes the body's own stem cells to stimulate the repair of damaged tissue. Stem cells have the unique ability to differentiate into various cell types, making them ideal for tissue healing. At Spine LLC, stem cells are harvested from the patient's bone marrow or adipose tissue. These cells are then processed and injected into the affected area, such as a joint or tendon, to stimulate the body's natural healing process.
Stem cell therapy has shown promising results in the treatment of various orthopedic conditions, including arthritis, injury, and age-related damage. By introducing stem cells into the damaged tissue, the therapy can encourage cell and tissue healing, which can lead to improved function and reduced pain. However, research in the field of stem cell therapy is ongoing, and it is important to note that while stem cell therapy shows exciting potential, it is still considered a relatively new and evolving field. While the use of stem cells in pain management holds great promise for the future and may revolutionize the treatment of chronic joint pain and arthritis, further research and clinical trials are needed to fully understand its long-term effectiveness and safety profile.

Step away from chronic pain.
Orthobiologic treatment does not help everyone and may not provide adequate or expected benefits, therefore a consultation is important to determine if you would even be a candidate. This treatment does not regenerate tissues but may promote the body's natural healing process, as well as help reduce inflammation and pain.
