Natural Support for Joint Health, Mobility & Recovery

Orthobiologics are natural biologic substances used to help support tissue repair, enhance joint comfort, and reduce
inflammation. These therapies may assist the body’s natural healing processes and offer a non-surgical option for
individuals managing chronic pain, overuse injuries, or early degenerative changes.

At Sikora Integrative Medicine, we utilize orthobiologics to help patients restore mobility, enhance function, and
alleviate discomfort through evidence-informed, minimally invasive approaches. Each treatment is customized and
performed with ultrasound or fluoroscopic guidance for accuracy and safety.

Key Benefits of Orthobiologic Therapy

Orthobiologic treatments may offer:

Support for tissue repair and regeneration
Reduction in inflammation and joint irritation
Enhanced cushioning and lubrication within joints
Improved mobility and function
Non-surgical treatment alternative
Option for patients seeking to delay or avoid more invasive procedures

Your provider will help determine which orthobiologic(s) best align with your needs.

Conditions Commonly Treated with Orthobiologics

Orthobiologics may be considered for:

Osteoarthritis (knee, hip, shoulder)

Orthobiologics may help support joint cushioning and comfort in areas affected by cartilage wear and tear.

Tendonitis or chronic tendinopathy

Their biologic components may help promote a healthier environment around irritated or overworked tendons.

Ligament sprains

Orthobiologics may help reinforce tissue stability and ease discomfort as overstretched ligaments recover.

Rotator cuff irritation

These therapies may help calm inflammation and support the soft tissues involved in shoulder movement.

Degenerative joint changes

Orthobiologic materials may help maintain tissue integrity as joints weaken or stiffen with age.

Overuse injuries

They may help reduce strain and support recovery in tissues stressed by repetitive motions or high-demand activities.

Chronic inflammation or stiffness

Orthobiologics may help regulate inflammatory signals, contributing to improved comfort and mobility.

Your provider will determine whether orthobiologic therapy is appropriate for your condition.

What to Expect During Orthobiologics Treatment

Orthobiologic injections are completed in the office and typically take 20–40 minutes.

Step-by-step:

Preparation:
Your provider evaluates your symptoms, reviews the imaging results, and recommends the most appropriate orthobiologic therapy.
Injection:
The selected biologic is injected into the targeted tissue under ultrasound or fluoroscopic guidance.
Recovery:
Most patients can resume normal daily activities shortly after the procedure. Temporary soreness may occur for 24 to 48 hours.
Treatment Plan:
Some treatments require a series of injections for optimal benefit. Your provider will outline a personalized plan tailored to your needs.

When to Expect Results

Orthobiologics support healing gradually over time.
Typical improvement timelines:

Early improvements: 2–4 weeks
More noticeable results: 6–8 weeks
Full benefit: 3–6 months

Results vary based on age, injury severity, and lifestyle factors.

Orthobiologic Options We Offer

These three orthobiologic therapies are part of our regenerative medicine framework, each serving a distinct purpose:

Hylagan (Hyaluronic Acid Injections)

Hylagan is a hyaluronic acid (HA) injection used to improve joint lubrication and cushioning—particularly for
osteoarthritis of the knee. HA helps reduce friction within the joint and may support improved comfort and mobility.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)

PRP uses concentrated platelets from your own blood to deliver growth factors that may support soft-tissue healing,
tendon recovery, and early joint degeneration.

Stem Cell Therapy (Allograft & Autologous Options)

Stem cell–based biologics and supportive regenerative materials may help enhance the healing environment in joints
and soft tissues. This includes options such as Wharton’s Jelly (WJ), adipose-derived cellular therapy, exosomes,
and other biologic products.

Frequently Asked Questions

Steroids temporarily reduce inflammation, while orthobiologics provide supportive biologic materials that may promote longer-term tissue recovery.

Some patients benefit from a single injection, while others require a series depending on the specific therapy and severity of symptoms.

Yes. These therapies use naturally derived biologic substances supported by clinical experience for joint comfort and tissue support.

Stem cell–based products can be considered part of the orthobiologic spectrum; however, we offer a comprehensive section on Stem Cell Therapy, which includes several specific treatment options.

Some hyaluronic acid products may be covered by insurance. PRP and regenerative therapies typically are not. Transparent pricing is available upon your visit.
