Subchondral Biologics

This presentation explores the emerging role of subchondral biologic injections—including PRP and BMAC—in treating osteoarthritis and chronic low back pain, particularly in patients with Modic changes. Dr.Sudhir Diwan emphasizes the physiological rationale for targeting subchondral bone to restore cartilage and disc health, citing multiple clinical studies and case reports. Outcomes suggest improved pain relief, especially when combining intra-articular and intraosseous injections. Early results from Dr. Diwan’s clinic show promising reductions in pain and improved mobility following intracept procedures combined with biologic injections. The talk calls for further research and highlights upcoming international conferences for continued knowledge sharing.
