Orthobiologics: How does this work?
Patients often ask, "What are these procedures and how do they work?" Orthobiologic procedures use substances naturally occurring in the body to accelerate repair of tissue.
Regenerative Orthopedics
Tendinitis and Tendinopathy
The complex structure of ligaments and tendons that support our joints provides stability. They are composed of collagen, the most abundant protein in the body. Their tough, collagenous structure give the joint strength. This structure, however, also causes these tissues to have poor blood supply, making the joint prone to chronic conditions.
CBD Oil: What’s the hype about?
The endocannabinoid system regulates balance in the body, which means it affects functions like blood pressure, sleep, immune responses, mood, and more. When the endocannabinoid system is in balance, you’re likely to function – and feel – your best!
Muscles... how do they work and how can we make them work better?
Every time you move, your muscles contract and relax. This process only takes a few seconds, but it is actually a quite complex process.
PRP and Arthritis
As we age, chronic injuries, along with normal wear and tear on our joints, often lead to arthritis. The smooth articular cartilage between the joints that cushions and protects begins to wear down, causing bones to rub against each other. Bone spurs often develop. The resulting friction leads to pain and swelling. This chronic inflammation results in arthritis and further degeneration of tissue.
