We interviewed two of the leading orthopedic surgeons in the country,โ€ฏ Dr. Nikhil Vermaโ€ฏ andโ€ฏ Dr. Jorge Chahla โ€ฏof โ€ฏMidwest Orthopedics at Rush โ€ฏto discuss biologics. Biologics like PRP, stem cells, corticosteroid injections, and hyaluronic acid are all the rage in medicine right now โ€“ and for good reason. Instead of having to reconstruct or repair damaged or torn tissues in the body through surgery, what if we could help relieve pain and improve function with a minimal invasion biologic injection? That is the promise of biologic injections. While significantly more research needs to be done to better understand how to best deliver biologics and what patients they may benefit the most, the future is very promising. As physical therapists, we will always be advocates of more conservative measures like physical therapy or biologic injections prior to more invasive options like surgery when warranted to potentially give our patients the upper hand in their rehab.ย
