Bone marrow aspirate concentration is a procedure that involves taking a sample of the liquid part of the soft tissue inside your bones that contains a mixture of white blood cells (including progenitor cells, lymphocytes, and granulocytes) and platelets, as well as growth factors, and proteins. BMAC treatment uses a patient’s own bone marrow aspirate for its potential to reduce inflammation and help restore normal function in joints and tendons in some patients.
Patients with osteoarthritis and chronic tendon injuries may benefit from BMAC, an orthobiologic procedure that uses a patient’s own bone marrow aspirate for its potential to reduce inflammation and help improve pain. BMAC is an injection treatment option for those who are not interested in surgery or are not a surgical candidate.
Healthcare providers have used BMAC injections to promote healing of:
- Sports injuries, like bone fractures, tendonitis or partial tendon tears and osteoarthritis
- Chronic and nonhealing wounds, like diabetes related to foot wounds
- Musculoskeletal disorders, like degenerative arthritis and degenerative disk disease
- Reduce symptoms like inflammation, pain and stiffness
- Kick-start healing of nonhealing or chronic wounds
- Help you recover faster from injuries
- Potentially enhance your response to reconstructive surgery or grafting
