Dr. Brian Cole, based in Chicago, IL, is a pioneering figure in the field of OrthoBiologics, specializing in stem cell therapy, stem cell injections, regenerative medicine, and bone marrow aspiration to treat damaged tissues.

His work primarily focuses on utilizing the body’s natural healing mechanisms through stem cell therapy to renew and repair diseased or damaged tissues. This innovative approach has shown promising results in the treatment of various orthopedic, cardiovascular, neuromuscular, and autoimmune conditions.

Dr. Cole’s goal with stem cell therapy is to amplify the patient’s natural repair system by increasing the number of stem cells at the site of injury. He harvests adult stem cells from multiple body areas, including adipose tissue (fat), bone marrow, and peripheral blood, with the mesenchymal stem cell being the most commonly harvested.

These stem cells, particularly those from bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC), are used in his practice as an adjunct to various surgical procedures such as rotator cuff repair, superior capsular reconstruction, osteochondral allograft, and chondral debridement.

Dr. Cole emphasizes that while the direct regenerative outcomes of these therapies in orthopedics are still under investigation, the indirect benefits from growth factors that modulate inflammation and the immune system may improve symptoms and healing processes for several orthopedic conditions.

His commitment to advancing the field of regenerative medicine is evident through his use of stem cells during rotator cuff repairs and other procedures, as well as in his educational efforts, including lectures on the use of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to treat osteoarthritis.

As a leader in his field, Dr. Cole’s work in stem cell therapy and regenerative medicine represents the forefront of efforts to harness the body’s healing capabilities, providing new hope and innovative treatment options for patients with a variety of conditions.
