Biologics are a group of treatments that can up-regulate your body’s cells to diminish inflammation and decrease symptoms. These treatments will be focused on the specific joint or tissue involved in your orthopedic problem.
MOSH Biologics offers 3 types of treatments to help with your orthopedic needs:
-
1. Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)
Blood is taken from your vein, like a routine blood test, and placed in a centrifuge. This is then separated into reparative aspects of the plasma, healing proteins and growth factors. The PRP is then injected into the affected joint or tissue to reduce inflammation and improve healing. This process takes about an hour.
-
2. Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC)
Bone marrow is removed from bone (typically the pelvis) and is placed in a centrifuge. The fluid is then divided into the reparative aspects of the bone marrow, like PRP. The BMAC is then injected into the joint or tissue to help reduce symptoms and improve your body’s ability to heal itself.
-
3. OrthoLazer
This painless treatment uses photons (light energy) to stimulate cells to diminish inflammation in the region of pain. The photons are provided by a state-of-the-art robotic MLS M8 laser. This is a non-invasive treatment that can be used repeatedly and in conjunction with PRP or BMAC to ease musculoskeletal inflammation and pain.
These biologic treatments are designed to:
- Reduce pain
- Improve motion
- Help restore activity and mobility
- Reduce soreness and inflammation from arthritis
- Increase stability and steadiness
- Improve sleep
- Delay the need for surgery
