Orthobiologics & Prolotherapy in New Orleans
At The Fascia Institute and Treatment Center™ (FIT) in New Orleans, we specialize in regenerative injection therapies like orthobiologics and prolotherapy to help patients heal naturally, relieve pain, and restore mobility. These non-surgical, minimally invasive treatments activate the body’s natural healing process to repair damaged tissues, ligaments, and joints—offering an effective alternative to steroids, pain medications, or surgery.
Advanced Regenerative Medicine for Pain Relief & Healing
What Are Orthobiologics and Prolotherapy?
Orthobiologic therapies use the body’s own healing mechanisms to repair and restore damaged tissues. Unlike medications or steroid injections that offer temporary relief, these treatments target the underlying causes of musculoskeletal pain and instability, promoting long-term healing and improved function.
Orthobiologics: Natural Healing with
Growth Factors
Orthobiologic treatments involve using biological materials derived from your own body to enhance tissue repair. These injections contain growth factors and bioactive molecules that:
- Reduce inflammation and pain
- Stimulate tissue regeneration and collagen production
- Accelerate healing of ligaments, tendons, and joints
- Improve mobility and function
Orthobiologic therapies are commonly used for:
- Joint pain relief (knee, hip, shoulder, ankle, and more)
- Tendon and ligament injuries (tennis elbow, rotator cuff issues, Achilles tendonitis)
- Soft tissue healing and recovery from sports injuries
- Arthritis and musculoskeletal degeneration
Prolotherapy: Stimulating Ligament and
Tendon Repair
Prolotherapy is a regenerative injection technique that strengthens ligaments and tendons by triggering the body’s natural repair process. A mild irritant solution (such as dextrose) is injected into the affected area, promoting collagen production and tissue regeneration.
Prolotherapy is commonly used for:
- Chronic joint instability and ligament laxity
- SI joint dysfunction and lower back pain
- Shoulder, knee, and ankle instability
- Tendon injuries and soft tissue degeneration
Orthobiologics and Prolotherapy can be combined for enhanced healing, helping patients recover faster and avoid surgery.
Am I a Candidate for Orthobiologics or Prolotherapy?
You may be a good candidate for Orthobiologics or Prolotherapy if you have:
- Chronic joint instability and ligament laxity
- SI joint dysfunction and lower back pain
- Shoulder, knee, and ankle instability
- Tendon injuries and soft tissue degeneration
Our team will conduct a comprehensive evaluation, including a medical history, physical exam, and imaging (X-rays or MRI if needed), to determine the best treatment plan for you.

Most patients see significant results with one to three treatments, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. The number of injections needed depends on the specific condition, severity of injury, and individual response to treatment.
During your consultation at The Fascia Institute™ in New Orleans, our specialists will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Many patients begin experiencing pain relief and improved mobility within 4 to 6 weeks after treatment. However, full results typically develop over several months as the healing process continues. The response time varies depending on the severity of the injury, overall health, and individual healing ability.
- Non-Surgical & Minimally Invasive – No incisions, no general anesthesia, and little to no downtime.
- Long-Term Pain Relief – Targets the root cause of pain rather than masking symptoms.
- Natural Healing – Uses your own cells, reducing the risk of adverse reactions.
- Faster Recovery – Promotes quicker tissue repair for athletes and active individuals.
- Alternative to Steroid Injections – PRP offers a regenerative approach instead of temporary pain relief.
Many PRP systems on the market contain red blood cells and inflammatory factors that can cause pain and slow healing. PurePRP® SP is unique because it:
- Provides an unmatched concentration of deliverable platelets (7 to 21 billion per 7mL sample).
- Eliminates harmful red blood cells, which are known to cause inflammation and discomfort.
- Allows physicians to control neutrophil levels, which can be beneficial for different types of injuries.
Avoids creating a diabetic-like condition at the injection site, a drawback of many other PRP products.
PRP therapy enhances the body’s natural healing process by delivering a high concentration of growth factors directly to the injured area. The process involves:
- Blood Draw – A small sample of your blood is collected.
- Platelet Concentration – The blood is spun in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelets.
- Injection – The growth-factor-rich PRP is injected into the targeted area, promoting tissue regeneration and reducing inflammation.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a non-surgical, regenerative treatment that uses a concentrated form of platelets derived from your own blood to stimulate healing. Platelets contain growth factors and bioactive proteins that accelerate tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and improve mobility.
At The Fascia Institute™, we use PRP to treat:
✔ Joint pain and arthritis (knee, hip, shoulder, ankle, and more)
✔ Tendon and ligament injuries (rotator cuff, Achilles tendon, tennis elbow)
✔ Sports injuries and overuse conditions
✔ Chronic pain and soft tissue degeneration
