Hospital-run orthobiologics service across six Louisiana sites offering bone marrow and fat-derived cell injections, platelet-rich plasma and other joint injections.
This is Ochsner Health's orthobiologics and advanced injection service, run inside a large hospital system rather than by a standalone clinic. It offers injection treatments for joint, tendon and soft tissue problems at six locations in Baton Rouge, Lafayette and Jefferson.
The cell-based options are drawn from the patient's own body. Stem cells are taken from bone marrow, and mesenchymal stem cells are prepared from fat tissue using the Lipogems system. Platelet-rich plasma is made from the patient's blood. Ochsner states it was the first in Louisiana to use the Arthrex Angel system for stem cell injections. The service also lists a donor-derived amniotic tissue product, Amniox.
Around these sit a full range of conventional injections: hyaluronic acid and viscosupplementation, alpha-2-macroglobulin, corticosteroid and bursal and tendon sheath injections, trigger finger treatment, the Iovera cold nerve treatment, Tenjet, and nerve and fascial hydrodissection. Importantly, the site states plainly that orthobiologic therapies are not currently covered by insurance, which means patients pay for them directly. No individual physicians are named on the page.
Most preparations come from the patient's own body; one listed product is donor-derived amniotic tissue.
