Orthobiologics in Durango, CO

Blood derived: Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is strategically concentrated from your own blood to produce a powerful combination of growth factors or bioactive proteins in addition to stem cell markers vital for tissue repair. Since these are derived from your own blood, there is little to no risk for an allergic or immune reaction, and carry minimal side effects in general. These procedures can be performed in the office and are minimally invasive to enable a quick recovery. We carry a combination of PRP products that will be recommended based on your injury location, past medical history, current medications, and age. 

Alpha-2-Macroglobulin (A2M) is gaining recognition as a potential game-changer in the field of cartilage regeneration. This naturally occurring protein, found in our blood, possesses remarkable properties that can help mitigate the effects of osteoarthritis and promote cartilage repair. A2M works by binding to and neutralizing harmful enzymes responsible for cartilage breakdown. In osteoarthritis, enzymes like matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) play a key role in cartilage degradation. A2M acts as a shield, capturing and inactivating these enzymes, thereby slowing down the destructive processes in the joint. Furthermore, A2M has been investigated for its ability to stimulate the production of cartilage-building molecules like collagen and proteoglycans. This dual-action approach makes A2M a potential therapeutic option for individuals suffering from cartilage damage or osteoarthritis, offering the prospect of pain relief and improved joint function. A2M can be used with PRP for a synergistic effect.

Stem cell containing products: Bone Marrow Concentrate is processed to achieve the perfect mixture of viable platelets and growth factors derived from stem cells (hematopoietic, total nucleated, and mesenchymal), all which are crucial in active tissue repair and regeneration. Bone marrow cells are highly protected, redundant, and reside deep inside our bone cavities. Their preferential locations reflect the significant role these cells play in survival. We are able to transplant these cells from certain locations of your body to specific injury sites to optimize healing.
