Biologics
Heal Smarter, Not Harder with Orthobiologics
Regenerative Solutions for Joint Pain and Soft Tissue Injuries
If you’re tired of living with joint pain or lingering injuries—and not ready to jump into surgery—there’s good news: your body might already have what it needs to heal. At MASI Clinic, we offer orthobiologic treatments that use your body’s own healing power to reduce pain, improve mobility, and help you get back to what you love—naturally.
What Are Orthobiologics?
Orthobiologics are advanced, non-surgical treatments made from natural substances found in your body—like platelets, stem cells, and hyaluronic acid. These therapies are designed to kickstart healing, reduce inflammation, and even help rebuild damaged tissue.
Whether you’re dealing with arthritis, a sports injury, or chronic joint pain, orthobiologics can be a powerful alternative to surgery or long-term medication.
- Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)
- Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC)
- Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Injections
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)
Think of it as healing—on fast-forward.
What it is:
PRP is an autologous biologic treatment that uses the healing of your own blood to support the body’s natural repair process. Platelets contain variety of growth factors and signaling proteins playing a role in the body’s response to injury or chronic conditions. PRP stimulates a healing signal, supporting tissue repair, and helps calm the inflammatory environment that can contribute to pain and dysfunction.
What it treats:
- Tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow (nerve conditions)
- Tendon sprains/tears (rotator cuff, biceps, patella, etc)
- Osteoarthritis- inhibits progression of cartilage wear
- Muscle or ligament sprains/tears (ACL, MCL, meniscus, etc)
How PRP works:
Blood is drawn in the same manner as a standard blood sample. The blood is then placed into a centrifuge to separate the platelets from other blood components. At MASI Clinic, we use a double-spin processing system designed to concentrate platelets and other biologic components. These platelets are then prepared in a syringe and injected in and around the injured site under precise ultrasound guidance..
How to prepare:
- No fasting needed but avoid a heavy meal the morning of your procedure
- Discontinue NSAIDS (Advil, Ibuprofen, Aleve, Naproxen, etc), antiplatelet medications, blood thinners (Aspirin), fish and krill oil supplements for 7 days before your procedure.
- Stay well hydrated, aim for 64 oz of water daily
- Avoid strenuous physical exercise immediately before your procedure
- Avoid nicotine for 2 weeks before and after your procedure
Why patients love it:
- Natural and minimally invasive (comes from your own blood, no rejection risk)
- Speeds up healing
- Great for active lifestyles
Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC)
Powerful stem cells. Personalized healing.
What it is:
Bone marrow is the soft, spongy tissue found inside certain bones. It contains blood-forming cells as well as other cell populations, including mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). These cells have the ability to self-renew and differentiate into different cell types. Bone marrow-derived cellular and biologic components play roles in tissue repair, inflammation, cartilage, tendon, bone, and would healing.
What it treats:
- Moderate to advanced arthritis
- Cartilage damage
- Tendon and ligament tears
- Chronic joint injuries
How BMAC works:
After local anesthesia is administered, your physician harvests bone marrow from the back of your pelvis (iliac crest) using a specialized needle. We use a double-spin process to concentrate the cellular and biologic components of the bone marrow aspirate. The resulting BMAC is prepared in a syringe for targeted injection into the treatment area under precise ultrasound guidance.
How to prepare:
- No fasting needed but avoid a heavy meal the morning of your procedure
- Discontinue NSAIDS (Advil, Ibuprofen, Aleve, Naproxen, etc), blood thinners (Aspirin), fish and krill oil supplements for 7 days before your procedure.
- Avoid strenuous physical exercise immediately before your procedure
- Avoid nicotine for 2 weeks before and after your procedure
Why it works:
- Uses your own stem cells
- Promotes tissue repair and regeneration
- Ideal if you want to delay or avoid surgery
Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Injections
Your joint’s natural shock absorber—restored.
What it is:
HA is a gel-like substance naturally found in your joints that helps keep them lubricated and moving smoothly. In arthritis, that cushioning wears down. We can restore it with an injection.
What it treats:
- Mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis
- Joint stiffness and grinding
- Pain with movement
How HA is injected:
A local anesthetic is used to minimize discomfort. Using ultrasound guidance, a sterile needle is used to inject HA into the joint. You may experience a brief pinch or pressure during the injection.
Why it helps:
- Adds cushion and lubrication
- Reduces pain and stiffness
- Can delay the need for joint replacement

Dr. Masi’s four-pillar approach to healing and performance integrates soul, structure, biology, and mindset. Mana is the life force that encompasses and is at the root of all, inherent in each individual and honoring the deeper connection between spirit, purpose, and healing. The Anatomical pillar focuses on structural care through orthopedic expertise, surgery, and rehabilitation. The Systemic pillar addresses cellular and physiological healing with regenerative therapies such as stem cells, PRP, peptides, and anti-inflammatory protocols. Finally, the Interoception pillar centers on mindset and self-awareness—cultivating belief, agency, and resilience as essential drivers of recovery and long-term performance.
