What are regenerative orthobiologic treatments?

Regenerative orthobiologic treatments use natural substances, often taken from your own body, to start a healing response in damaged or worn tissue. At the Michigan Center for Regenerative Medicine, they are minimally invasive outpatient procedures. Compared with surgery, they usually mean less downtime and lower cost.

Regenerative orthobiologics treatment in Michigan, a modern field of medicine, treats chronic pain at its source by healing injuries to the body’s tissues, such as those found in the musculoskeletal system.

This includes treatment options like platelet-rich plasma therapy, regenerative orthobiologics therapy, and prolotherapy. If you are weighing your options, our PRP injection cost guide explains what affects pricing.

We understand the financial concerns that can accompany medical treatments, and regenerative orthobiologics treatment in Michigan, offer a cost-effective option for pain management, allowing you to focus on your recovery without worrying about high costs.

What is Regenerative Orthobiologics Treatment in Michigan

Orthobiologics treatment in Michigan is a modern field of medicine that aims to restore damaged tissues of the body to restore their function and reduce patients’ pain levels. Several different types of chronic pain-causing conditions and ailments can be treated with regenerative orthobiologics treatment in Michigan, including conditions like:

  1. Osteoarthritis
  2. Tendon injuries
  3. Ligament injuries
  4. Cartilage damage

Unlike other pain management options, such as surgery, which is more invasive and requires a longer recovery time, regenerative orthobiologics treatment in Michigan is minimally invasive and has a quicker recovery time. This means you can return to your daily activities more quickly, providing you with peace of mind during your recovery. Let’s take a look at some of the regenerative orthobiologic treatments we offer to patients at The Michigan Center for Regenerative Medicine.

Platelet-Rich Plasma Orthobiologics Treatment in Michigan

Platelet-rich plasma orthobiologics treatment in Michigan is a minimally invasive and effective treatment option that can provide patients with adequate pain relief. With platelet-rich plasma therapy, a patient’s own blood is drawn and placed into a device called a centrifuge, which spins it at high speeds. This orthobiologics treatment process in Michigan causes the platelets and plasma in your blood to separate from other components, such as red and white blood cells, into a concentrated healing serum of plasma and platelets. Once this serum has been created, it is then injected into the target treatment site, where it stimulates a natural healing response in the body, restoring damaged tissues and cells to their proper state. Platelet-rich plasma orthobiologics treatment in Michigan is an excellent option for patients who are looking for a minimally invasive and medication-free way to treat their chronic pain directly at its source.

Prolotherapy Orthobiologics Treatment in Michigan

Prolotherapy orthobiologics treatment in Michigan is a modern way to treat pain caused by damaged or diseased tendons, ligaments, and joints. With prolotherapy, a solution is injected into the treatment site, causing mild inflammation. This inflammatory response, in turn, causes new collagen to be released into the treatment site, healing damaged tissues. The vast majority of patients generally tolerate prolotherapy well, and it is an excellent treatment option for patients who are looking for a minimally invasive solution to their chronic pain.

Dr. Nabity is awesome! He spent over an hour with my husband and me going over my MRI’s for hip issues and all other information. He explained everything about PRP and answered all my questions. While we were there, he even checked out my husband’s hip problem too and gave him suggestions as well. I am very pleased with the plan of action we chose together. Looking forward to healing!!

I found Dr. Santa Ana very helpful. I had a condition that is rarely seen and he did research on his own to make sure that I would receive the proper treatment. He’s very kind and his bedside manner is very spectacular. You can tell he really cares.

In an effort to use time at home towards bettering myself, I may have overdid it with the online workouts. I was able to get a telemedicine appointment with Dr. Santa Ana quickly and he was able to diagnose me online. His line of questioning showed me he was very knowledgeable and ultimately diagnosed me with a muscle strain which eased my fears. Great bedside manner. I highly recommended to anyone looking for genuine honesty and compassion in their care.

Dr. checked up on me soon after the injection, and was notably concerned about my pain levels and well being. I would consider Dr. Nabity at the top of the list of cutting edge treatments, a caring bedside manner, and someone that I would recommend to anyone that I care about.

FAQ

Regenerative Medicine Questions

Answers to common questions from Michigan patients. Your physician can address your specific situation during a consultation.

What does orthobiologics mean?

“Ortho” refers to the musculoskeletal system and “biologics” to materials from living sources, such as your own platelets or cells.

What is in a prolotherapy injection?

A natural sugar (dextrose) solution with a mild anesthetic.

Is regenerative medicine the same as stem cell therapy?

Stem cell therapy is one type of regenerative medicine. PRP and prolotherapy are others. Your physician will explain which fits your condition.

Which conditions are evaluated?

Common examples include osteoarthritis, tendon and ligament injuries, rotator cuff problems, bursitis, plantar fasciitis, and some back and neck conditions.

Are treatments done with imaging?

Yes. Our physicians use ultrasound or fluoroscopic (x-ray) guidance to place treatments precisely.

Is there downtime?

These are outpatient procedures. Most patients return to light daily activity soon after, and your physician will give you a plan for exercise and follow-up.

Will I need more than one treatment?

It depends on your diagnosis and how you respond. Some conditions are treated once, while others need a series.

Is regenerative medicine covered by insurance?

Coverage is often limited because many regenerative treatments are considered elective. Our team will give you cost information before you decide.

Where are your clinics?

We have a clinic at 355 Barclay Circle, Suite A, Rochester Hills, MI 48307, (248) 216-1008, and an office at 1000 E. Paris Ave SE, Suite 221, Grand Rapids, MI 49546, (616) 288-1109.
