What Is Orthobiologic Treatment?
At our pain control clinic in Spring Hill, KS, orthobiologic treatment uses biologic substances in orthopedic and musculoskeletal care for selected joint, tendon, ligament, and soft tissue conditions.
Orthobiologics include different types of biologic therapies, and each one can serve a different purpose depending on the diagnosis and tissue involved. They may be considered to support the local healing environment, reduce symptoms, or complement a nonsurgical management strategy for an injured or degenerative area.
Dr. Ptacek determines which option fits the condition being evaluated and the goal of care. When the therapy is delivered by injection, musculoskeletal ultrasound can be used to visualize the anatomy in real time and guide placement to the intended location.
