Ask Your Doctor About STEM CELL INJECTION/BONE MARROW ASPIRATE

Bone Marrow Aspirate Stem Cell Concentrate (BMAC) is a component of your bone marrow that contains growth factors and anti-inflammatory proteins which have been shown to promote bone and soft tissue healing as well as reduce symptoms of pain related to injuries, tendinitis and arthritis. Some of these cells have the capacity to regenerate tissue, reduce inflammation and enhance wound healing.

This procedure is performed in the office. A bone marrow sample is typically taken from the back side of the pelvic bone. This is a sterile procedure, performed under a local anesthetic. Side effects can be localized pain over the pelvic bone. The bone marrow sample is “spun down” in a centrifuge machine, and the concentrated marrow cells are then injected into the problem area. Ultrasound is used for accurate placement. Patients should rest the treated area for 1-2 weeks and then can gradually return to normal activities usually by 6 weeks.

• Typically not covered by insurance (see pricing sheet for cost).
• Must be off anti-inflammatory medication 7-10 days prior to injections and for 2-3 weeks after injection. Cannot be on blood thinners. Must be at least one month since last cortisone injection.
• Commonly treated problems include: Rotator cuff tendonitis/partial and full thickness tears, Tennis/Golfer’s Elbow, Hip bursitis, Achilles tendinosis, Plantar fasciitis, Ligament injuries, Arthritis
