What Are Biologics?

Biologics are a class of medications that come from living organisms. This type of medication can come from bacteria, viruses, or human cells. To produce Biologics, scientists extract proteins or genetic materials from organic life and reproduce them.

These treatments are used to address a wide range of conditions, including:

Autoimmune diseases
Arthritis
Lupus
Severe asthma
Mascular degeneration
Osteoporosis
Inflammatory bowel diseases
Multiple sclerosis
Blood disorders
Certain cancers

How Are Biologics Effective?

Biologics are effective because they can target the underlying cause of the disease rather than treating the symptoms. For instance, autoimmune diseases attack healthy cells, which causes inflammation. Biologics can block the proteins that cause this inflammation to protect your healthy tissue. Since this class of medications comes from living organisms, it generally leads to fewer side effects. Using components from your own body also minimizes the risk of rejection. Generally, Biologics are safe for many people.

Benefits of Biologics

When traditional medications haven’t been effective, Biologics may be able to help. They can treat injuries and reduce the need for pain medication. With minimally invasive treatments, Biologics can cause less disruption to the tissues than surgery, making your recovery faster and easier.

The benefits of Biologics include:

Treats Pain and Injuries: Biologics can repair damaged tissues, which can reduce pain and improve mobility.
Minimally Invasive: Since these treatments are less invasive than surgery, they involve less tissue damage, minimal downtime, and a quicker recovery.
Manages Chronic Disease: Biologics can treat and delay the progression of many chronic conditions, including autoimmune diseases.
Helps Treat Cancer: These medications can be used in addition to chemotherapy to repair damaged cells and boost the immune system.
Safe and Effective Treatment: Using the patient’s cells, tissues, or blood reduces the risk of rejection and generally leads to a successful outcome.

Treatment Options

At Forest Wellness M.D., we don’t just treat your symptoms. We determine the underlying cause of your chronic condition to help your body heal. By using your platelets or stem cells, Biologics uses your body’s natural healing abilities to repair damaged tissue and relieve chronic pain. Explore our treatment options below.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)

PRP creates a concentration of platelets from the patient’s blood to promote healing. Platelets are small cell fragments in the blood that form clots. When they are concentrated, they can help boost the body’s healing response. During treatment, a small amount of blood is taken and spun in a centrifuge to separate the platelets. This process produces PRP, a high concentration of platelets in a small amount of plasma. Then, your provider will inject PRP into the injured area. PRP contains growth factors and cytokines, which are molecules that can help reduce pain, grow new tissue, and heal the body.

Benefits of PRP

Reduces Pain and Inflammation: As PRP’s growth factors help repair damaged tissue, they decrease inflammation and pain.
Promotes Tissue Regeneration: The growth factors and cytokines in PRP help repair and grow new tissue.
Improves Mobility: As PRP repairs tissues and reduces inflammation in the body, this treatment can help you enhance your range of motion.
Accelerates Healing: Injecting concentrated platelets directly into the injured area can boost your body’s healing response and lead to a quicker recovery.

Stem Cell Therapy

Stem cell therapy is a treatment that replaces or repairs damaged tissue with stem cells. These cells can make copies of themselves and become different cell types, depending on the body’s needs. Stem cells can come from a donor or the patient’s body. They are usually harvested from the bone marrow or fat tissue. During stem cell therapy, they are infused into the bloodstream through an IV or injection. After the infusion, your provider will monitor your blood count to ensure the success of the treatment. Recovery is usually quick with minimal downtime. Most people experience pain relief and renewed mobility within a few weeks as stem cells regenerate and treat damaged tissue.

Benefits of Stem Cell Therapy

Relieves Pain and Inflammation: As stem cells repair injured areas in the body, they reduce pain and inflammation as they heal the body.
Regenerates Damaged Tissue: Stem cells regenerate and become the type of cells your body needs for tissue repair.
Helps Regulate Immune System: This treatment suppresses immune cell activity and decreases inflammation in the body.
Treats Many Chronic Conditions: Stem cells can help treat many chronic conditions, including blood disorders, arthritis, Parkinson’s disease, and cancer.

Biologics FAQs

What Conditions Do PRP And Stem Cell Therapy Treat?

Both treatments can help relieve chronic pain in musculoskeletal conditions like arthritis and tendon or ligament injuries. They may also help promote healing after surgery.

How Long Does It Take To See Results?

Individual results may vary from these treatments. Your condition and the severity of it will affect how long it takes to see results. Generally, clients who receive PRP experience pain relief in about a month. Stem cell therapy may take several months before results develop since it takes time for cells to regenerate and repair tissues.

Are There Any Side Effects?

Using the patient’s own platelets or stem cells helps reduce side effects. Common side effects include temporary discomfort at the injection sites, which usually subside within a few days.

What Should I Expect After My Biologics Treatment?

Your doctor will advise you to avoid strenuous activities for at least two weeks after treatment. Usually, follow-up appointments are scheduled so your provider can monitor your progress and let you know if you need further treatment.
