Some tendon and joint problems don’t need surgery—and a few may benefit from biologic injections that support your body’s natural healing response. Nathan Boes, MD is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon fellowship-trained in Sports Medicine, offering select PRP, hyaluronic acid (HA), and bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) treatments for appropriate patients in Frisco and the North Dallas area. Care is conservative-first and evidence-guided, with clear expectations and structured rehabilitation.
Who Might Benefit
- Tendinopathy
Tennis/golfer’s elbow, patellar/quad, proximal hamstring, select Achilles issues - Joint pain/early arthritis
Especially knee osteoarthritis (HA, and in select cases PRP) - Focal soft-tissue irritation
Where rest/therapy and activity modification haven’t solved symptoms
Not every patient or condition is a candidate. Dr. Boes will review your history, exam, and imaging to determine best-fit options
Treatments Offered
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Injections
- Concentrates your own platelets and growth factors to be injected at the target site.
- Typical use: chronic tendinopathy, select joint pain.
- What to expect: blood draw → centrifuge → same-day injection; 1–3 sessions depending on response. Expect soreness for a few days; rehab is progressed in phases over 2–6+ weeks.
HA (Hyaluronic Acid) Injections
- A “viscosupplement” that adds lubrication/cushioning to the joint, most often the knee.
- Typical use: mild–moderate knee osteoarthritis symptoms that persist after therapy/activity changes.
- What to expect: depending on product, 1–3 injections over several weeks; many patients notice gradual symptom relief.
BMAC (Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate) Injections
- Uses a small volume of your own bone marrow, processed and concentrated, then injected under sterile technique.
- Typical use: select chronic tendon or focal joint problems when other options have not provided relief.
- What to expect: outpatient procedure with local anesthesia; temporary soreness; structured activity ramp. Evidence is evolving—Dr. Boes will discuss realistic goals and alternatives.
Technique & Safety: Injections are performed using sterile technique and image guidance when appropriate. Post-procedure instructions and a rehab plan are provided to support recovery.
