Repairing Joint Damage Non-Surgically
Minimally invasive, cutting-edge therapies known as “biologics” can now replace the scalpel in some cases— and the months of rehab that follow.
Biologic resurfacing can enhance the body’s natural ability to heal, reduce inflammation in arthritic joints, and accelerate the repair of damaged tendons and ligaments. Cartilage that is worn, torn or cracked can heal.
