Orthobiologic therapies fall into three types: focused shockwave therapy, platelet-rich plasma and micro-fragmented adipose tissue.
Specialized equipment applies focused acoustic waves directly over the injured area. Unlike radial waves, focused waves concentrate energy at a specific depth, allowing precise treatment of the affected structure.
The number of sessions and the intensity used are determined according to the diagnosis, the location of the injury and each patient's response.

Up to 30 days
Focused shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy acoustic waves directed precisely at the injured tissue. It is used mainly in certain chronic musculoskeletal injuries, especially when pain persists despite other conservative treatments.
Its aim is to stimulate a biological response in the treated tissue, support repair processes and help reduce pain and improve function, without surgery.
It may be considered as part of the treatment of conditions such as:
The indication is established after a medical evaluation to determine whether this treatment is appropriate for the injury and the particular characteristics of the patient.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is an orthobiologic therapy that uses components obtained from the patient's own blood. Through a specialized preparation process, a concentration of platelets is obtained containing biological factors involved in the natural tissue repair processes.
In orthopedics it is used as a therapeutic alternative in certain joint, tendon and musculoskeletal injuries, with the aim of modulating pain and supporting a biological environment that favours the natural recovery processes of the tissue.
A small amount of the patient's own blood is drawn and processed by centrifugation to separate and concentrate the platelets. The preparation is then injected precisely into the structure to be treated.
The type of PRP, its concentration and the number of applications may vary depending on the injury and the characteristics of each patient.
It may be considered in patients with conditions such as:
PRP does not replace surgery when there is a clear surgical indication, nor does it guarantee complete tissue regeneration. Its use must be based on an individual medical evaluation.
Micro-fragmented adipose tissue is an orthobiologic therapy that uses adipose tissue obtained from the patient, processed through a specialized system to preserve the cellular and structural components naturally present in this tissue.
The resulting product is used in certain musculoskeletal conditions with the aim of drawing on the biological properties of the patient's own tissue and supporting an environment that favours joint function and its natural repair processes.
A small amount of adipose tissue is obtained from the patient through a minimally invasive procedure. This tissue is then processed and micro-fragmented using a specialized system, and applied to the area requiring treatment.
The entire procedure is performed under controlled conditions and the indication is established individually according to the diagnosis and the characteristics of the patient.
It may be considered in selected patients with:
This treatment does not mean a damaged joint returns to its original state, nor does it guarantee cartilage regeneration. Results may vary between patients and the indication requires a specialist medical evaluation.
Normally no. The usual discomfort of an injection and, in a few cases, post-injection irritation that can last 48 hours.
In these cases we are emphatic that biological processes can take up to 30 days to begin offering therapeutic responses.
Our protocol includes 3 sessions.
No. Metabolically decompensated patients do not usually show significant clinical improvement. There are no contraindications in pregnancy or breastfeeding.
