How to avoid meniscus surgery AND knee replacement!
At Texas Orthobiologics we have regenerative medicine solutions that other orthopedic surgery and regenerative medicine clinics simply don't offer or cannot do. Why not investigate ALL your treatment options? We have evidence based solutions that are non-surgical...but if you need surgery we can do that too!
What is the Best Type Of PRP For Knee Arthritis? High dose PRP!
If you want ACP results, use ACP.
If you want PRP results then you need to draw 6x more blood and use a system that concentrates about 4x more than the ACP system.
How to know which Regenerative Medicine clinics to avoid
Patients, get at least two opinions from different clinics before spending money on a cash pay regenerative medicine procedure. We encourage that at Texas Orthobiologics....we don't try to pressure patients into a same day procedure with a low down payment. If you have felt pressured to purchase a months long "package" with "easy financing" and didn't have a physical exam or even imaging.....that clinic's opinion is probably worthless.
There are now many excellent clinicians and clinics in this field it is not too hard to find out who and where they are.
Most of us do not have celebrity spokespeople!!!You deserve personalized regenerative medicine options that are cost effective! We offer platelet rich plasma (PRP) and stem cell injections from your own bone marrow!
At Texas Orthobiologics, we have an in office lab where we can personalize our regenerative medicine treatments for patients. You deserve better than a one size fits all approach to your healthcare!

Does PRP work for hand pain and wrist pain? Carpal Tunnel? De Quervain's? Yes!
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is a regenerative medicine or orthobiologic injection that is made from a patient's own blood in the office.
There is a lot of ongoing research to determine what conditions PRP works best for and also to determine the best dose of this biologic "drug".
The good news is that we have enough research published to use PRP to help patients with many hand and wrist conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome and De Quervain's tenosynovitis. Previously, the main non surgical injection for these conditions was a steroid shot....which worked sometimes but also had other effects on the soft tissues that we would rather avoid! All of these injections are done in the office under ultrasound guidance so we can precisely place the injection.
Why do patient reviews matter?
15-20 years ago most new patients came from other clinician referrals and other patient referrals.
With the rise of the internet and doctor review sites.....along with the increasing cost of insurance and rising deductibles...things have been changing over the last 15 years.
Now, most common referral source listed by our new patients at Texas Orthobiologics is the insurance company website (searching for local in network docs) and then online patient review sites (to see who is highly ranked) like doctor.com, healthgrades.com, vitals.com, usnews.com, trustpilot.com, google.com, and even yelp(ugh!).
So, like it or not, we have to care about reviews if we want to take care of patients..'
Using Ultrasound Instead Of MRI To Diagnose Meniscal Tears In The Office!
This brief presentation shows how we can use ultrasound in the office to diagnose a meniscus tear and avoid the time and expense of a MRI scan. It is faster and cheaper for the patient and allows us to have a diagnosis and treatment plan at the very 1st office visit! No fighting with insurance companies for pre-authorization either! Not every tear and not all knee pathology can be seen with ultrasound so there is still a need for MRI scans....but when we can use ultrasound....everybody loves it!
