Orthobiologics for chronic muscoskeletal pain

Dr. Steve M. Aydin presents an overview of the evidence for the use of orthobiologics for chronic musculoskeletal pain. Dr. Aydin introduces the topic of joint pain and degeneration and describes the reinitiating of the healing cascade to promote regeneration. He explains that orthobiologics use a patient’s cells and natural substances to treat injuries such as osteoarthritis, tendinopathy, and ligament injuries. He highlights common chronic injuries and musculoskeletal issues that can be treated and notes that more research is required to determine safety and efficacy, and which patients can benefit the most.
