Biologics are blood components and other natural substances that harness the body’s own power to promote healing and decrease inflammation. Midwest Orthopaedics at Rush (MOR) is committed to providing patients access to a promising collection of biologic treatments, including Platelet Rich Plasma, which involves isolating platelets in a sample of the patient’s blood, then injecting them into the damaged area to naturally aid in healing and repair.

Some of these procedures are considered experimental or investigational by insurance carriers, and thus may be considered a self-pay service. Please consult with your doctor’s administrative team for specific details.
Our orthopedic doctors and research staff are at the forefront of developing and vetting these emerging therapies. These techniques expand our offering of less invasive treatment options or augment our surgical solutions, and we can carefully and confidently apply them as a result of rigorous research and ongoing clinical trials.
Due to the proliferation of clinics offering regenerative medicine and alternative treatments for orthopedic conditions, we advise patients to be wary of providers offering biologic treatments that have not been scientifically proven or researched.
No two cases are alike. Because the level of discomfort and loss of function varies from patient to patient, so does our approach to each individual’s care. As part of this commitment to personalized care, your treatment may include biologics, either used alone as a more conservative method of intervention, or as a supplement to a surgical procedure. MOR doctors have the academic credentials, specialized training, and clinical experience necessary to recommend the best course of treatment for you.
