Bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) therapy is a regenerative treatment that uses your own bone marrow to support healing. Bone marrow contains stem cells and other cells essential for tissue repair. Concentrated and injected into the damaged area, they may reduce pain and promote repair without surgery.
BMAC therapy is completed in a single outpatient visit:
Comfort first
You receive oral or twilight sedation, and the area is numbed with a local anesthetic.
Collecting marrow
A specialized needle withdraws liquid bone marrow from the iliac crest of the pelvis.
Processing
Filtration and centrifugation concentrate the regenerative cells.
Injection
The concentrate is injected under image guidance into the damaged area.
Bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) therapy uses your own bone marrow, which contains stem cells and other cells essential for tissue repair, to support healing.
Bone marrow is usually drawn from the iliac crest, part of the pelvis, using a specialized needle after the area is numbed and you receive oral or twilight sedation.
The marrow goes through filtration and centrifugation, a high-speed spinning process that concentrates the most valuable regenerative cells and removes unnecessary components.
BMAC may help joint pain, sports injuries, fractures, and degenerative conditions, including disc degeneration and arthritis in major joints such as the knee, hip, or shoulder.
We use only autologous cells, meaning your own cells: bone marrow stem cells and stromal cells from adipose (fat) tissue. Each patient is evaluated individually before a specific treatment is recommended.
Procedures using a patient's own tissue are considered part of a physician's practice of medicine. The FDA provides guidelines for the treatment and manipulation of a patient's own tissues, and Total Spine follows these guidelines by offering same-day treatment using the patient's unaltered cells.
Some patients notice improvement within weeks, while full results may take several months as healing progresses.
Not everyone is a good candidate. We offer a complimentary consultation and imaging review, and if a successful outcome is not likely, you will be told that during the consultation.
By harnessing the body's own healing mechanisms, BMAC therapy may:
