Orthobiologics Podcast
The Orthobiologics Podcast was born to separate fact from fiction in the branch of regenerative medicine where Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP), Stem Cells (BMAC), and Prolotherapy are used to improve Orthopedic outcomes with lower risk. Whether used in place of surgery or in combination with surgery, evidence-based Orthobiologics can help athletes with new injuries, weekend warriors with old injuries, or even elderly patients with degenerative conditions like arthritis enhance their function and improve the quality of their life.

Episode 1
This episode describes what the real definition of a stem cell is and how we obtain them for use in Orthopedics and Sports Medicine. We discuss the ways in which the current evidence shows that they help people with injuries with arthritis as an example. We also discuss whether getting stem cells from the bone marrow or the fat is the ideal source and where the FDA stands on all of this. Have questions?
