Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC) is a regenerative procedure that uses your own bone marrow as a source of cells and signaling molecules to support joint and soft-tissue health.
How BMAC Is Performed
- Consultation and imaging review: We confirm that your diagnosis and overall health make you a reasonable candidate.
- Bone marrow draw: Under local anesthesia and sterile conditions, bone marrow is typically taken from the back of the pelvic bone.
- Processing: The aspirate is placed in a specialized device that concentrates key components (including progenitor cells and growth factors).
- Targeted injection: Using image guidance when appropriate, the concentrate is injected into the affected joint or soft tissue.
Most patients go home the same day. Soreness at the donor and injection sites is common for a few days.
When We Consider BMAC in Columbus
BMAC may be discussed when:
- Arthritis is moderate to advanced, but you want to try non-surgical options first
- Standard treatments (NSAIDs, basic injections, PT) are no longer enough
- You understand the procedure is elective, paid out of pocket, and not guaranteed
It is not meant to replace emergency care, oncology treatment, or necessary surgeries; it’s an additional option for certain degenerative problems.
Expectations and Follow-Up
- Improvements tend to be gradual, evaluated over months.
- You’ll typically have follow-up visits to monitor progress and adjust your plan.
- If your imaging or symptoms suggest the likelihood of benefit is low, we will say so directly and steer you toward more appropriate solutions.
