At Hawaii Wellness Clinic, we offer targeted biologic therapies to help reduce inflammation, protect joint health, and support natural repair in patients living with inflammatory large joint conditions. These non-surgical, regenerative treatments are designed to address the underlying causes of inflammation rather than simply masking pain.
What Is Biologics Therapy for Inflammatory Joints?
Biologics therapy for inflammatory large joint pathology uses advanced, cell-derived treatments rich in growth factors, proteins, and healing signals to help regulate immune response and repair tissue damage. These biologics are sourced from FDA-registered labs and are designed to be delivered directly to affected joints such as the knees, hips, or shoulders.
Unlike cortisone injections that provide only temporary relief, biologics aim to calm inflammation at the cellular level and encourage your body to heal and maintain joint function over time.
Who It’s For
This treatment may be ideal for individuals with:
- Rheumatoid arthritis affecting large joints
- Psoriatic arthritis
- Autoimmune-related joint inflammation
- Persistent swelling and stiffness in the knees, hips, or shoulders
- Chronic inflammatory joint pain that has not improved with medication alone
- A desire to avoid or delay joint replacement surgery
Biologics for inflammatory joints can be an option for patients seeking to complement or reduce reliance on oral or injectable medications that suppress the immune system.
How the Treatment Works
- Assessment: We review your diagnosis, medical history, and current treatment plan to ensure biologics therapy is appropriate for you.
- Preparation: Biologics are sourced from sterile, FDA-registered facilities and prepared for precise delivery.
- Injection: The biologic solution is injected directly into the inflamed joint under sterile conditions. Image guidance may be used for accuracy.
- Response: The biologics work by reducing inflammatory signals, improving cell communication, and supporting tissue repair.
Treatment plans vary, and some patients may benefit from a short series of injections over several weeks.
What to Expect
- Session length: Usually 30 to 45 minutes, including preparation
- Comfort: Most patients report only mild discomfort at the injection site
- Recovery: Light activity is usually possible the same day
- Follow-up: Your provider will schedule check-ins to monitor your response and adjust the plan as needed
Benefits of Biologics for Inflammatory Joints
- Helps calm inflammation in the joint
- Supports cartilage and tissue preservation
- May reduce joint stiffness and improve mobility
- Complements existing arthritis or autoimmune management plans
- Minimally invasive with little to no downtime
- May help delay or avoid surgery
Safety and Side Effects
Biologics therapy is performed using high-quality products from FDA-registered sources. Treatments are delivered by experienced medical providers who follow strict sterile procedures.
Side effects are typically mild and may include temporary soreness, redness, or swelling at the injection site. Because biologics are designed to support natural repair, they are generally well tolerated.

We are here to help you protect your joints and improve your quality of life.
Living the vibrant, active life Hawaii offers is difficult when you’re sidelined by persistent knee, hip, or shoulder pain. Whether it’s osteoarthritis, a sports injury, or the wear and tear of time, chronic pain in your large joints can keep you from surfing, hiking, or even enjoying a simple walk on the beach. While traditional options like steroid injections and surgery have their place, many are seeking a more advanced, minimally invasive approach.
At Hawaii Wellness Clinic, with convenient locations in Honolulu, Kailua Kona, and Wailuku, we are proud to offer state-of-the-art biologic therapies. This cutting-edge field of medicine harnesses your body’s own healing power to reduce inflammation, repair damaged tissue, and help you reclaim your active lifestyle.
What Are Biologic Therapies?
Biologic therapies, a cornerstone of regenerative medicine, are treatments derived from natural, biological sources—often from your own body. Unlike synthetic drugs that may only mask symptoms, biologics work by targeting the root cause of your joint pain. They aim to create a healing environment within the joint, encouraging the repair and regeneration of damaged cartilage, tendons, and ligaments.
These treatments are minimally invasive, administered through precise injections directly into the affected joint, offering a powerful alternative to more aggressive procedures.
How Biologics Target Knee, Hip, and Shoulder Pain
The large, weight-bearing joints of the body are complex structures. When cartilage wears down or tissues are injured, the result is inflammation, stiffness, and pain. Biologic therapies work on multiple levels to counteract this damage.
- Reducing Harmful Inflammation
Chronic inflammation is a primary driver of pain and joint degeneration in conditions like osteoarthritis. Biologics contain powerful anti-inflammatory agents that can significantly reduce swelling and irritation in the joint, providing lasting pain relief without the side effects associated with long-term steroid use.
- Signaling and Recruiting Healing Cells
The components used in biologic therapies are rich in growth factors and signaling proteins. When introduced into an injured joint, these elements act like a construction manager, sending out signals that recruit your body’s own repair cells to the site of damage.
- Promoting Tissue Repair and Regeneration
By creating an optimal healing environment, biologics can help stimulate the repair of damaged cartilage, tendons, and other soft tissues. The goal is not just to manage pain, but to support the structural integrity of the joint and potentially slow the progression of degenerative conditions.
Conditions We Treat with Biologics
Our specialists at Hawaii Wellness Clinic utilize biologic therapies to treat a wide range of large joint conditions, including:
- Knee Pain: Osteoarthritis, meniscus tears, ligament sprains (ACL, MCL), and tendonitis.
- Hip Pain: Osteoarthritis, labral tears, bursitis, and tendon injuries.
- Shoulder Pain: Rotator cuff tears, osteoarthritis, labral tears, and biceps tendonitis.
If you are suffering from chronic pain in these joints and have not found relief with conservative treatments, you may be an excellent candidate for biologic therapy.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is the biologic injection procedure painful?
The procedure is generally well-tolerated. We use a local anesthetic to numb the treatment area, so most patients experience only minimal discomfort, similar to a standard joint injection.
How long does it take to see results from biologic therapy?
Every patient is different. While some may notice improvement within a few weeks, it’s more common for the full benefits to become apparent over two to three months as the body’s healing and regenerative processes take effect.
How many treatments will I need?
For many patients, a single treatment is sufficient to provide significant and long-lasting relief. However, the optimal treatment plan is unique to each individual and will be determined during your consultation.
Is biologic therapy covered by insurance?
While biologic therapies are becoming more common, insurance coverage can vary. Our administrative team will work with you to discuss payment options and determine any potential coverage.
At Hawaii Wellness Clinic, we offer biologic therapy as a non-surgical option for people living with discogenic pain. This advanced treatment uses targeted regenerative injections to help calm inflammation, improve tissue health, and restore mobility so you can get back to the activities you enjoy.
What Is Discogenic Pain?
Discogenic pain refers to pain that originates from a damaged intervertebral disc in the spine. These discs act as cushions between vertebrae, and when they degenerate or develop tears, they can cause persistent lower back or neck pain.
Common causes include age-related wear, injury, repetitive strain, and disc dehydration over time.
What Is Biologics Therapy for Discogenic Pain?
Biologics therapy uses cell-derived, growth factor-rich treatments that are injected into or near the damaged disc. The goal is to stimulate the body’s natural repair processes, reduce inflammation, and support healthier disc function.
Our biologics are ethically sourced from FDA-registered facilities and delivered under strict clinical protocols for safety and precision.
Who It’s For
Biologics for discogenic pain may be appropriate for patients who:
- Have chronic low back or neck pain confirmed to be disc-related
- Experience pain that worsens with sitting, bending, or twisting
- Have degenerative disc disease or disc tears
- Have not found lasting relief from medications, physical therapy, or injections
- Want to avoid or delay spinal surgery
How the Treatment Works
- Evaluation: We confirm discogenic pain through a review of your history, imaging, and symptoms.
- Preparation: The biologic solution is prepared from FDA-registered sources.
- Injection: The biologic is injected into or near the affected disc under sterile, image-guided conditions.
- Healing Response: The biologics deliver anti-inflammatory and regenerative signals to help reduce pain and support disc health.
Treatment plans are individualized. Some patients benefit from a single injection, while others may require a short series.
What to Expect
- Session length: 45 to 60 minutes
- Comfort: Most patients experience mild pressure or soreness during and after the injection
- Downtime: Light activity is possible the same day; avoid heavy lifting for several days
- Follow-up: Your provider will schedule progress checks and recommend any supportive care
Benefits of Biologics for Discogenic Pain
- Targets the source of pain, not just the symptoms
