ORTHOBIOLOGIC TREATMENTS IN WICHITA, KS
Meet our orthopedic doctors and orthopedic surgeons and learn about orthobiologic treatments.
What are orthobiologics? Orthobiologics is the use of naturally occurring (biological) substances found in the human body to help treat broken bones, injuries, and certain chronic conditions. Due to their regenerative properties, orthobiologics are used by orthopedic specialists to help heal injuries more quickly. It is a highly versatile form of treatment that can be used for healing injuries to muscles, tendons, ligaments, as well as broken or fractured bones. Orthobiologic treatments have become quite popular in sports medicine to help athletes speed up their recovery time.
Common orthobiologics include platelet rich plasma (PRP), bone marrow concentrate, certain fat grafts, and other tissues. Other popular types include stem cell treatments and stem cell therapy, all of which are forms of regenerative medicine. Since orthobiologic treatments use biological substances, they are a very safe treatment solution offered by reputable orthopedic doctors and orthopedic surgeons.
Orthobiologics continue to evolve and are significantly influencing modern orthopedic surgical practices, including ours. Below are the Mid-America Orthopedic surgeons and doctors who specialize in orthobiologics. Schedule an appointment with one of our orthopedic specialists to discuss how orthobiologics could help you recover from your injury.

PLATELET-RICH PLASMA (PRP) THERAPY
PRP injections are a form of regenerative medicine that use your own healing system to improve musculoskeletal issues. This 45-minute in-office therapy is safe and convenient. It is used to help treat strains, sprains, and partial tears of muscles, tendons, joints, and ligaments by accelerating the healing process.
HOW IT WORKS:
COLLECT: Your provider will draw a sample of blood.
CONCENTRATE: A centrifuge separates and concentrates the cellular components of the blood. The resulting product is a highly concentrated suspension of platelets and cells (PRP).
DELIVER: The PRP is returned to the designated site(s) during the same office visit.
HEAL: The PRP will activate and accelerate your body’s natural healing process. The average patient reports a 50% improvement within the first six weeks and 100% improvement in twelve weeks. However, every patient is unique, and some require additional rounds of PRP treatment to see the full benefit.
