Natural Biologic Injections at Alliance Orthopedics
Natural biologic injections are gaining popularity for various conditions, from
sports injuries to spine complications. This therapy uses a patient’s own blood cells to accelerate healing in a specific area.
What Are Natural Biologics?
Natural Biologics are a form of regenerative medicine that harnesses the body’s abilities to amplify the natural growth factors it uses to heal tissue. Natural biologics consists of a concentration of a patient’s platelets to expedite the healing of injured tendons, ligaments, muscles, and joints. In essence, natural biologic injections utilize each individual patient’s own healing system to improve musculoskeletal issues.
