What Is OrthoBiologics & Wharton's Jelly?

OrthoBiologics is cellular or regenerative therapy that enhances our bodies' own natural healing processes, creating viable alternatives to invasive surgeries and prescription painkillers. These minimally invasive procedures are ideal for patients looking to avoid long recovery times and narcotics following a traumatic joint replacement surgery.

OrthoBiologics uses healthy cells to rebuild body tissue where degeneration or injury has occurred. It can be particularly effective in treating conditions related to a loss of cartilage or damage to tendons and ligaments, whether it is caused by injury or aging. The result is an accelerated and natural healing process.

OrthoBiologic Procedures We Offer

We offer a full range of minimally invasive OrthoBiologic and regenerative therapies. Your physician will recommend the approach best suited to your specific condition.

Umbilical Cord/Wharton’s Jelly

Wharton’s Jelly is rich in growth factors, cytokines, and hyaluronic acid, supporting regeneration in joints with significant cartilage loss or advanced degeneration.

Platelet Rich Plasma

Concentrated platelets from your own blood are injected into the damaged area, delivering growth factors that accelerate tissue repair and reduce inflammation.

Amniotic Allograft

Amniotic tissue contains powerful anti-inflammatory and regenerative properties, providing a natural scaffold for new tissue growth in moderate to severe joint damage.

How It Works

From consultation to recovery, here's what to expect at Bellevue Pain Institute.

The restorative therapies within the scope of OrthoBiologics stem from optimizing our bodies’ own natural healing processes and utilizing them to repair degenerating cartilage, muscle tissues, tendons and ligaments. These minimally invasive procedures take naturally occurring cells that have the ability to differentiate — meaning they can transform into any other cell in the body — and apply them to damaged areas; allowing them to promote the regeneration and repair of damaged tissues. Sourcing healthy, high-functioning cells from other areas of our bodies and relocating them to these damaged areas allows them to signal repair and restore the system for healthy function.

What are Stem Cells?

Stem cells are special cells in our body that can replicate and differentiate — meaning they can transform into any type of cell found in your body including but not limited to ligament, tendon, cartilage or muscle tissues. They seek out areas of injury, disease and degeneration and regenerate new, healthy cells, therefore accelerating the natural healing process. Stem cells have been especially effective in healing degenerative joint conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about treatment options at Bellevue Pain Institute.

How long does it take to see improvement? +
Regenerative cell therapy relies on the body’s own regenerative healing to occur. The regenerative process may take time, particularly with orthopedic patients, who may not see results for several months. In some cases, more immediate responses have been seen.
Is everyone a candidate for OrthoBiologics? +
No. Only certain orthopedic problems are currently being treated at BPI. Patients need to be medically stable enough to have the treatment in our facility. Some patients may be declined due to the severity of their problem. Other patients may not have conditions appropriate to treat or may not be covered by our specialists or our protocols.
What is the cost of consultation and treatment? +
Patients who are candidates based on information provided in the candidate application form will be invited for a consultation, which may be associated with a consultation/examination fee of $150–$250.00 depending on complexity of the case. Consultation with a physician may include office evaluation, physician’s evaluation of X-Rays, review of records, or telephonic consultations. Unfortunately, insurance will not cover the cost of regenerative cell treatment in most cases since it is still considered investigational. The cost varies depending on the disease state being treated and complexity of deployment.
BPI may perform one or more therapies that have not yet been approved by the FDA. You are encouraged to consult with your primary care provider prior to undergoing a cell therapy. Statement in compliance with Washington State RCW 18.130.180 February 12, 2018.
