Still battling joint pain even after PT, meds, or cortisone—but not ready for surgery?
Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC) at NexGenEsis Healthcare – Jersey Village (Houston) uses a small sample of your own bone marrow to deliver a concentrated mix of cells, platelets, and signaling factors to worn joints or stubborn tendon/ligament injuries—aimed at supporting tissue repair and easing pain without an operation.
What BMAC is
We concentrate components from your bone marrow and inject them precisely under ultrasound/fluoro guidance into the target area. It’s typically considered when degeneration is beyond PRP territory, but you want to explore biologic care before joint replacement.
Who it may help
- Mild–moderate osteoarthritis (knee, hip, shoulder)
- Chronic tendinopathies/partial tears that failed conservative care
- Patients hoping to delay or avoid surgery while improving function
What a visit looks like
- Candidacy review: history, exam, imaging, alternatives
- Harvest (pelvis) under local anesthesia: pressure more than sharp pain
- On-site concentration of the sample
- Image-guided injection to the specific tissue; home the same day
Recovery & expectations
- Temporary soreness 24–72 hours; gradual activity build
- Improvements often develop over weeks to months (sometimes a series is advised)
- Responses vary; advanced instability or end-stage arthritis may need other options
Safety notes
Typical injection risks (pain, bruising, rare infection). We’ll review your medical history and discuss realistic outcomes, costs, and alternatives.
