Our Approach to Orthobiologics and Regenerative Medicine

Orthobiologics, also known as regenerative medicine, is a rapidly advancing field that offers new options to treat acute orthopaedic injuries and chronic or degenerative conditions without surgery. It is one of multiple promising treatments for muscle, joint, and soft tissue injuries.

Stanford Health Care providers are on the leading edge of regenerative medicine treatments. We work with a multidisciplinary team of orthopaedic surgeons, sports medicine doctors, advanced practice providers, and physical therapists to help patients find the most effective and least invasive options for a wide range of injuries and conditions.

Our providers have been using orthobiologics for more than 10 years, leading the way in researching and applying these medical advances to improve patient care.

What Is Orthobiologics and Regenerative Medicine?

Techniques for Orthobiologic Injections

Our doctors complete additional training for orthobiologic injections and teach other doctors. Doctors often use ultrasound to guide injections. Ultrasound is an imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to create an image on a computer screen. The ultrasound shows tissues and bones under your skin so your doctor can guide a needle to the exact injury site in your joint or soft tissue.
