Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC)
The body’s highest concentration of adult stem cells are found in bone marrow. These stems cells are known as the body’s repair kit as they have the unique ability to replicate themselves for use in any tissue or organ found throughout the body.
Bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) stem cell therapy works much in the same way as the platelet-rich plasma therapy. A physician extracts bone marrow from the patient’s hip. The bone marrow is then spun in a centrifuge, separating the adult stem cells and platelets from the rest of the blood. The platelets and stem cells are then injected into the affected area of the body initiating a regenerative response from the body.
BMAC stem cell therapy has shown to be effective in the treatment of a variety of pain conditions, including: joint degeneration, sacroilitis, knee, hip and shoulder injury, osteoarthritis, cartilage injury, tendon injury, ligament injury, facet joint injury and disc injury.
