“After struggling to find success with post-surgical stiffness and pain in my ankle, their treatments worked wonders. I now don't think about my ankle at all while I run, ski, hike, play basketball, and play tennis.”

Our services
One principle: autologous.
Our therapies are primarily autologous, which means they're made from your own blood or tissue. Our orthopedic treatments include bone marrow aspirate (BMA), microfragmented adipose (mFAT), the full range of PRP, and complementary treatments. We also provide biologic care for complex systemic conditions.
02
PRP treatments
Platelet-rich plasma, prepared and tuned to the target tissue.
03
Additional treatments
Other treatments we use alongside biologics, including prolotherapy, nerve hydrodissection, and iron infusions for low iron stores.

The Apeiron Research Center · 501(c)(3) non-profit
1745 38th St., Boulder, Colorado
Clinical research through the Apeiron Research Center.
Dr. Glowney founded the Apeiron Research Center, a non-profit that runs IRB-approved clinical trials of treatments made from a participant's own bone marrow. Its current studies are in Parkinson's disease.
Independent non-profit
The Research Center is a separate 501(c)(3) non-profit in its own facility. It studies autologous cellular therapy.
IRB-approved trials
Investigator-led, protocol-driven studies on bone marrow–derived cellular therapy and adjacent biologics, with formal ethics review and outcome tracking.
Separate from clinic care
The trials are separate from clinic care, and the treatments they study are investigational.
Featured therapy
Bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC).
We draw a small amount of bone marrow from the back of your hip, using local anesthetic and image guidance. Our on-site lab concentrates it in a centrifuge, so the sample holds more of the marrow's cells, including mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), along with platelets and growth factors. We then inject the concentrate into the target tissue under ultrasound or fluoroscopic guidance.
- In-clinic · single visit · local anesthesia
- On-site lab · sample never leaves the building
- Image-guided delivery to the target tissue
- Functional follow-up at 6 and 12 weeks
Also featured
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP).
We spin a small amount of your blood in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets and the growth factors they carry. The platelet-rich portion is then injected under ultrasound guidance into the injured tendon, ligament, or joint.
- In-clinic · single visit · local anesthesia
- First-line autologous biologic for mild-to-moderate conditions
- Often used in combination with hyaluronic acid for knee OA
- Functional follow-up at 6 and 12 weeks
One patient's imaging
MRI from one patient, before and after PRP.
Imaging from one of our patients before and after a course of PRP therapy at our Boulder clinic.
This is an example of a patient's results from PRP therapy at Boulder Biologics. We caution that these results are the exception and would not be expected in more advanced or diffuse arthritis. Outcomes depend on patient selection, joint stage, and biological response.

Start with the overview →Frequently asked
Questions patients ask us most.
Cost, candidacy, recovery, and other common questions. If yours isn't here, ask us at consultation.
How much does it cost? Is it covered? +
Most insurance plans don't currently cover autologous biologic therapies: this is a patient-pay practice. We discuss the cost with you when you book your service, supply documentation for HSA / FSA reimbursement where applicable, and never bill you for anything that wasn't discussed up front.
What is BMAC, and how does it differ from PRP? +
PRP uses concentrated platelets and growth factors from your blood. BMAC uses MSC-containing material from your bone marrow. PRP is the first-line tool for many tendon and mild-to-moderate joint conditions; BMAC is typically considered when disease is more advanced or when subchondral bone is involved.
Is the procedure painful? +
Procedures are performed in-clinic under local anesthesia and ultrasound guidance. Most patients report mild post-procedural soreness for 24 to 72 hours. An oral sedative is available for bone marrow aspiration if you ask for it ahead of time.
Am I a candidate? +
Candidacy depends on your imaging, condition stage, prior treatments, and overall health. Every patient is evaluated by Dr. Glowney before any procedure is offered. We'll tell you honestly whether biologics fit your case or whether another path makes more sense.
How long does it take to see results? +
Biological response varies. When improvement comes, it is usually gradual, over 4 to 12 weeks. We schedule follow-up at 6 and 12 weeks to check your progress, and results depend on the stage of your condition and how your body responds.
Are you doing research too? +
Yes, Dr. Glowney also founded the Apeiron Research Center, our affiliated non-profit running clinical-trials research on cellular therapy. The clinic and the research center are separate entities; trial participation, when available, follows IRB protocols.
