Bone Marrow Aspirate (BMAC)

The Bone Marrow Aspirate (BMAC) procedure in an innovative approach that uses the regenerative power of a patient’s own bone marrow – making it a powerful tool across various medical fields.

The BMAC procedure involves extracting a small bone marrow sample, usually from the hip or pelvis region, with the patient under local anesthesia. This bone marrow sample is full of essential regenerative cells, growth factors and platelets that play a pivotal role in tissue repair and regeneration. Once the sample is processed to concentrate these regenerative components, it is reintroduced into the patient’s body at the targeted site, initiating healing and regeneration.

One of the standout benefits of the bone marrow aspirate procedure is in its versatility. It has shown remarkable outcomes in orthopedics, sports medicine and wound management. Patients struggling with joint pain, arthritis, or ligament and tendon injuries can experience tissue repair and the growth of healthy cells through BMAC injections. This results in reduced pain, improved joint function and an overall improvement in their quality of life.

Athletes in particular can greatly benefit from the BMAC procedure. Sports-related injuries such as tears, strains and sprains can be effectively treated with BMAC therapy. By utilizing the regenerative power of their own bone marrow, athletes can expedite healing and recovery which allows for a quicker return to sports and activities.

Bone Marrow Aspirate therapy can also be tremendously useful for patients struggling with chronic wounds that have proven resistant to other treatments. The regenerative cells and growth factors injected during the procedure stimulate the formation of new blood vessels and healthy tissue, helping the healing process. This holds the potential for significant improvement and closure of non-healing wounds.
