Orthobiologic Medicine

Orthobiologic medicine in Addison — PRP, PPP, BMAC & A2M

Autologous orthobiologic procedures prepared from your own blood or bone marrow — minimally manipulated, delivered same-day with ultrasound and fluoroscopy guidance, by a provider with 27 years of clinical experience.

At Innovare Tx in Addison, TX — minutes from downtown Dallas — we offer autologous orthobiologic procedures: PRP, PPP, BMAC, and A2M, each prepared from your own blood or bone marrow. “Autologous” means the biologic material comes from you and is returned to you — from you, for you.

These are procedures we perform in-office, the same day, using precise image guidance. They are considered investigational and are not FDA-approved for the treatment of any specific orthopedic condition. Whether one of these procedures is appropriate for you is a decision to make together with your provider after a clinical evaluation.

An autologous-only approach

Everything we offer uses your own tissue — blood or bone marrow — that is minimally manipulated. We do not use donor, amniotic, umbilical, cultured, or expanded cells, and we do not offer adipose stromal vascular fraction (SVF). We do not market “stem cell” products for orthopedic use.

What we offer

Autologous orthobiologic procedures

Four in-office procedures, each prepared from your own biologic material. Descriptions below explain what each procedure is and how it is performed.

PRP — Platelet-Rich Plasma

A concentration of platelets prepared from a small sample of your own blood. Blood is drawn, spun in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelet fraction, and delivered by injection with image guidance — all in the same visit.

PPP — Platelet-Poor Plasma

The platelet-poor plasma fraction separated from the same autologous blood sample during processing. It is prepared and used in-office as part of the same-day procedure.

BMAC — Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate

Prepared from your own bone marrow. A small aspirate is drawn (typically from the iliac crest / hip) under local anesthetic, concentrated, and delivered by image-guided injection during the same appointment. Autologous and minimally manipulated.

A2M — Alpha-2-Macroglobulin

A broad-spectrum protease-inhibitor protein that occurs naturally in your blood. It is concentrated from your own autologous blood sample and delivered by injection in-office.

PRP, PPP, BMAC, and A2M are autologous procedures prepared from your own blood or bone marrow. They are considered investigational and are not FDA-approved for the treatment of any specific orthopedic condition, including osteoarthritis. Individual results are not guaranteed. Any decision to pursue an orthobiologic procedure should be made with your provider after a clinical evaluation.

Step by step

How an orthobiologic procedure is performed

The workflow is straightforward and always completed in a single visit.

  1. 1

    Clinical evaluation

    Charles Ortega, PA-C reviews your history, imaging, and goals to determine whether an orthobiologic procedure is an appropriate option for you.

  2. 2

    Collect your own material

    A small blood draw for PRP, PPP, or A2M — or a bone-marrow aspiration under local anesthetic (typically from the hip) for BMAC.

  3. 3

    Concentrate

    The autologous sample is minimally manipulated and it is processed using a centrifuge.

  4. 4

    Image-guided injection

    The prepared material is delivered by injection using ultrasound or fluoroscopy for precise placement.

  5. 5

Why autologous matters

Every procedure we offer uses only your own biologic material. Because it comes from you, there is minimal risk of allergic reaction or rejection. We keep the material minimally manipulated — and we never substitute donor or laboratory-cultured products.

  • Autologous only — your own blood or bone marrow
  • Minimally manipulated
  • Same-day, in-office procedures
  • Ultrasound- and fluoroscopy-guided placement
  • No donor, amniotic, cultured, or SVF products

Questions, answered

Frequently asked questions about orthobiologic medicine

Orthobiologic medicine refers to procedures that use biologic material — here, always your own (autologous) blood or bone marrow — prepared and delivered by injection in the musculoskeletal setting. At Innovare Tx this includes PRP, PPP, BMAC, and A2M. These are procedures we offer; they are considered investigational and are not FDA-approved for the treatment of any specific orthopedic condition.
Yes. Every orthobiologic procedure we offer is autologous — the material comes from you and is returned to you ("from you, for you"). We prepare PRP, PPP, and A2M from your own blood and BMAC from your own bone marrow. We do not use donor, amniotic, umbilical, cultured, or expanded cells, and we do not offer adipose stromal vascular fraction (SVF).
No. These autologous procedures are considered investigational and are not FDA-approved for the treatment of any specific orthopedic condition, including osteoarthritis. Whether an orthobiologic procedure is appropriate for you is a decision to make with your provider after a clinical evaluation.
After a clinical evaluation, we collect the autologous material — a simple blood draw for PRP/PPP/A2M, or a bone-marrow aspiration under local anesthetic for BMAC. The sample is processed using a centrifuge to concentrate the target fraction, then delivered by injection using ultrasound or fluoroscopy guidance for precise placement. All procedures are completed in one visit, same day, within 45 to 90 minutes.
Because the material is your own, there is minimal risk of allergic reaction or rejection. Using only autologous, minimally manipulated material is also central to how these procedures are handled from a regulatory standpoint. We do not market or provide donor or 'stem cell' products for orthopedic use.
Because these procedures are considered investigational, most health plans do not cover them. Your consultation, evaluation, and imaging may be covered. We provide a transparent cost estimate at your consultation, and Affirm and CareCredit financing are available. Military, veteran, and first-responder discounts are offered.
