Why Orthobiologics Are The Future of Joint & Musculoskeletal Pain
Are you overwhelmed by the complex choices in regenerative treatments? Wondering which patients are the right candidates for advanced regenerative orthopedics? Curious how to confidently integrate orthobiologics into your practice without relying on insurance-based models? In this in-depth episode of Conversations in Regenerative Medicine, I sit down with Dr. Chris Rogers—renowned expert in physical medicine and rehabilitation—to uncover the evolving science behind the Orthobiologics and DataBiologics breakthrough. This episode dives into the power of platelet rich plasma, the promise of culture-expanded adipose-derived stem cells, and the practical application of regenerative medicine in clinical practice. Whether you're curious about how to leverage regenerative orthopedics in a cash-based practice or need clarity on patient selection, this conversation provides valuable insight without overhyping results. You'll hear firsthand how PRP therapy evolved from guesswork to guided outcomes, thanks to real-time patient tracking through the DataBiologics registry. We discuss how evidence-backed regenerative medicine is gaining traction as a first-line option for musculoskeletal care, and what this means for the future of orthobiologics. From early-stage challenges to long-term outcome trends, we share stories, data, and strategies that help bridge science with practical clinical decisions. You'll also learn about misconceptions around stem cell science, including key differences between stromal vascular fraction, MFAT, and culture-expanded cells—and how regulatory pathways like FDA clinical trials shape treatment access. Plus, I reveal a few tools and resources—like the Regen Patient Magnet Method—that have helped me and others successfully integrate regenerative medicine orthopedics into our workflows, with an emphasis on quality outcomes and ethical transparency. Whether you're just getting started or aiming to grow your breakthrough regenerative orthopedics practice, this episode equips you with perspectives that matter.
