Listen "When Our Own Cells Catalyze Healing"
Episode Synopsis
We're learning more about the growing field of orthobiologics, the use of treatments derived from individual patients' own cells and injected at the injury site to promote healing.

She joins Carolyn and Chris to explain how it works and what makes it effective.
