Orthobiologics: The Future of Regenerative Joint and Spine Care
Orthobiologics are the healing agents already present in your body—platelets, stem cells, growth factors. When harvested, concentrated, and reinjected at the site of damage, they jumpstart tissue regeneration.
Think of them as a microscopic surgical team that stitches and scaffolds new tissue from within—no scalpels needed. The result? Faster recovery, reduced inflammation, stronger joints.
Types of Orthobiologics at OCSS
We offer a curated menu of regenerative therapies: - Leukocyte-Poor PRP – Ideal for joints, tendons, ligaments - Leukocyte-Rich PRP – Best for muscle tears or robust inflammatory repair - Exosomes/Platelet Lysate – Nerve-safe, used for neuropathy or spine - BMAC – Bone marrow stem cells for advanced joint degeneration - Adipose Tissue Scaffold (ATS) – Fat-derived support matrix for complex repair
All procedures are outpatient, ultrasound-guided, and tailored to your biology.
The PRANA Method: Our Regenerative Framework
OCSS uses a 5-pillar framework to guide patient outcomes: 1. Preparation: Pain mapping, diagnostics, and lab work to understand what’s broken 2. Regeneration: Orthobiologic procedures to jumpstart healing 3. Activation: Movement medicine, PT, laser and shockwave therapy 4. Nutrition: Anti-inflammatory diet, hydration, and targeted supplementation 5. Alignment: Optimizing hormones, sleep, mindset, and stress resiliency
This method builds biological resilience and sustainable repair for long-term function.
What to Expect After Your Procedure
• Most patients resume activity within 2-5 days
• Regeneration begins at 4-6 weeks; results peak at 12 weeks
• You may require physical therapy and follow-up biologic support depending on severity
• Avoid NSAIDs 2 weeks before and 4 weeks after procedures to protect your healing cascade
Nutrition & Lifestyle to Support Healing
Maximize your healing response with these key guidelines: - Eat: Clean protein (wild-caught fish, pasture- raised meats), leafy greens, healthy fats - Avoid: Sugar, dairy, gluten, processed foods, alcohol - Hydrate: Half your body weight in oz. of water daily - Supplement: Omega-3s, Vitamin D3/K2, Magnesium, Collagen, Curcumin - Optimize: Sleep (7-9 hrs), stress reduction, red light therapy, IV nutrition
OCSS offers IV protocols to support regeneration pre- and post-treatment.

Are You a Candidate?
You are a great candidate for regenerative therapy if: - You want to avoid surgery - You’ve tried PT, meds, or cortisone without relief - You’re proactive about your long-term health - You’re optimizing performance or longevity
Contraindications include uncontrolled autoimmune conditions, active cancer, or severe infection.
FAQs
Is this covered by insurance? Not currently, but we offer payment plans and HSA eligibility.
How many injections will I need? Most cases require 1-3 injections depending on the severity and tissue type.
Will I need time off? Usually just the day of the procedure. High-level athletes and executives often return to work the next day.
Is it safe? Yes. We use your body’s own biologics. All procedures are performed by board-certified, fellowship-trained physicians.
