Biologic Therapy
Biologics are a type of medical treatment derived from living organisms. They play a crucial role in treating various conditions, including autoimmune disorders like arthritis. Biologic therapies for arthritis, such as rheumatoid arthritis, work by targeting specific components of the immune system to help manage inflammation and pain. These treatments are often used when traditional medications like nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) are not sufficient.
Biologic treatments for arthritis can help manage symptoms, slow disease progression, and improve quality of life for many patients. At Essential Wellness Clinic, biologic treatments utilized include: Plasma Rich Protein (PRP), Stem Cells, and Exosomes.
Plasma rich protein (PRP) is a concentrate of platelet-rich plasma obtained from the patient’s own blood. It contains growth factors that promote tissue healing. Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that have the ability to differentiate into specific cell types. They can be obtained from various sources, including bone marrow, adipose tissue, and umbilical cord blood. Exosomes are small vesicles released by cells that contain proteins and genetic material, and they play a role in cell signaling and communication.
In regenerative medicine, PRP, stem cells, and exosomes can be used to promote tissue regeneration and repair. PRP can be injected into damaged tissues to promote healing, while stem cells can be used to regenerate damaged tissues or joints. Exosomes can be used to modulate the immune response and promote tissue repair throughout the body.
Individuals who benefit from biologic therapy include those with joint injuries or degenerative conditions, such as osteoarthritis, and athletes who require faster recovery times. Biologic therapy may also be used in wound healing and tissue repair after surgery.

Biologic therapy is a revolutionary form of medical treatment that harnesses the power of specialized, living cells to combat a range of diseases. When applied to brain and nerve conditions, such as multiple sclerosis and dementia, biologic therapy works by targeting and inhibiting certain disease-causing processes, effectively slowing disease progression. Similarly, in cases of joint diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, biologic therapy has demonstrated an impressive ability to reduce damaging inflammation by blocking key pathogenic pathways.
It is important to note that with this cutting-edge therapy, there are inherent risks associated with treatment, such as an increased susceptibility to illnesses. Therefore, healthcare providers must diligently monitor patients throughout the course of treatment. Despite these risks, it is indisputable that biologic therapy has revolutionized the treatment of these debilitating diseases, offering hope and healing to countless individuals.
