BMAC Therapy

Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC) Therapy

What Is BMAC Therapy?
Bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) therapy is a regenerative treatment that uses a patient’s own bone marrow to support healing. Bone marrow contains stem cells and other cellular components essential for tissue repair and regeneration.

How Is Bone Marrow Collected?

Bone marrow is typically extracted from the iliac crest, a part of the pelvis. To ensure comfort, the patient receives oral or twilight sedation, and the area is numbed with a local anesthetic. A specialized needle is then used to withdraw the liquid bone marrow safely.

Processing & Concentration

Once collected, the bone marrow undergoes multi-step filtration and centrifugation—a high-speed spinning process that separates and concentrates the most valuable regenerative cells while removing unnecessary components.

Injection & Treatment Application

The concentrated bone marrow is carefully prepared and injected directly into the affected area, such as damaged joints, fractures, or other orthopedic conditions. This increases the concentration of regenerative cells in the injury site to enhance the body’s natural healing process.

Potential Benefits of BMAC Therapy

BMAC therapy may accelerate recovery, reduce pain, and promote tissue repair by harnessing the body’s own healing mechanisms. It is a promising, minimally invasive option for patients looking to support healing without surgery.

Is BMAC Therapy Right for You?

BMAC therapy is ideal for individuals with joint pain, sports injuries, fractures, or degenerative conditions seeking a natural, minimally invasive treatment. However, a thorough evaluation by a medical specialist is necessary to determine if this regenerative therapy is the best option for your condition.

In Summary

Bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) therapy is a regenerative treatment that uses a patient’s own bone marrow to promote healing. The procedure involves extracting bone marrow from the iliac crest, processing it to concentrate valuable regenerative cells, and injecting it into damaged areas such as joints or fractures.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some of the questions that we are asked most frequently at Total Spine and Wellness

Regenerative medicine aims to replace damaged tissue or organs caused by factors like age, disease, trauma, or congenital issues, as opposed to focusing solely on symptom management. This is achieved through the use of tissue engineering, cellular therapies, medical devices, and artificial organs.

By combining these approaches, we can enhance our body’s natural healing process where it is most needed. Regenerative medicine brings together experts from various specialties who wish to be on the cutting edge of medicine.

When our bodies are injured or affected by disease, they possess an innate ability to heal and defend themselves. What if we could harness this inherent power and accelerate the healing process in a clinically relevant manner? What if we could aid the body in healing more effectively?

The promising field of regenerative medicine strives to restore the structure and function of damaged tissues and organs. It also aims to develop solutions for organs that have sustained permanent damage. Ultimately, the goal of regenerative medicine is to create transformative healthcare solutions that could potentially help injuries and diseases that were previously deemed untreatable.

Stem cells are undifferentiated cells in our bodies that have the remarkable ability to develop into various types of specialized cells. They can divide and renew themselves to form more stem cells or differentiate into specific cell types, such as muscle, nerve, or blood cells. Stem cells play a crucial role in the development, growth, and repair of tissues and organs in our bodies. They hold great potential for medical research and regenerative medicine, as they may be used to treat a wide range of diseases and injuries.

Stem cells have the remarkable ability to develop into different cell types in the body and can also repair damaged tissues. When introduced into a specific area, they can promote healing through various mechanisms. Stem cells can differentiate into the desired cell type, replacing damaged cells directly. They can also secrete growth factors and proteins that stimulate the surrounding cells to regenerate and repair themselves. Additionally, stem cells can modulate the immune response and reduce inflammation, creating a more favorable environment for healing. These combined effects make stem cells a valuable tool for treating degenerative conditions.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a promising source for the treatment of OA due to their multipotency for differentiation into chondrocytes and their ability to modulate the immune system.

These surgical procedures are considered part of a physician’s practice of medicine, allowing both the physician and patient to freely consider their preferred treatment options. While the FDA does provide guidelines for the treatment and manipulation of a patient’s own tissues, Total Spine adheres to these guidelines by offering same-day treatment using the patient’s unaltered cells, which are inserted during the procedure.

Not everyone is a good candidate for stem cell treatment. We offer a complimentary consultation and imaging review to determine if someone is likely to benefit from our treatments. If the severity of the condition is too great and a successful outcome is not likely, the patient will be told that in consultation.

We use all autologous cells (the patients own cells). We utilize bone marrow stem cells and Stromal cells (from adipose). Each person will be evaluated individually before a specific treatment modality is suggested.
 
If we are using Bone Marrow stem cells the procedure is usually 2.5 hours from start to finish. If using “adipose” stem cells, the procedure is generally around 4 hours from start the finish. Each procedure can vary slightly depending on what areas are being treated.
