Advanced Bone Marrow Therapy for Joint Healing
Harness the regenerative potential of your own bone marrow cells to accelerate healing, rebuild cartilage, and restore function. A cutting-edge alternative when surgery isn't the answer.
What is BMAC Therapy?
Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC) therapy is a cutting-edge regenerative treatment that taps into the natural healing potential of cells found within your bone marrow. These include mesenchymal stem cells, chondrogenic cells, and powerful growth factors that work together as a catalyst for repairing damaged tissues and fostering new tissue growth. In cases where the body's natural healing proves insufficient after injury—often due to decreased regenerative cell activity—BMAC therapy provides a concentrated dose of these healing cells directly to the affected area. This heightened concentration expedites your body's innate healing mechanisms, facilitating faster recovery for damaged regions. Clinical and research studies have documented significant improvements in cartilage and tendon function, enhanced bone healing, pain reduction, increased range of motion, and diminished joint stiffness. BMAC therapy is particularly effective for moderate-to-severe joint osteoarthritis, promoting wound healing, slowing disease progression, and assisting in the repair of bone fractures.
How BMAC Therapy Works
Understanding the science behind bone marrow regeneration
Biological treatment options utilizing stem cells have received growing interest in recent years. Bone marrow-derived stem cells can be aspirated from the iliac crest and contain powerful regenerative components. In laboratory settings, these cells can differentiate into various cell lines such as bone, fat, cartilage, and muscle while secreting numerous cytokines and growth factors. Isolating, concentrating, and injecting these stem cells and associated healing factors is a biological way of supporting the body's natural regenerative efforts in patients with arthritis and musculoskeletal injuries.
Mesenchymal Stem Cells
Multipotent cells that can differentiate into bone, cartilage, fat, and muscle tissue to repair damaged areas.
Chondrogenic Cells
Specialized cells that support cartilage formation and repair, essential for joint health and function.
Growth Factors & Cytokines
Powerful signaling molecules that reduce inflammation, promote circulation, and accelerate tissue regeneration.
Natural Healing Cascade
When injected into affected areas, the concentrated cells activate your body's innate healing mechanisms for faster recovery.
Tissue Scaffolding Proteins
Structural proteins that provide a framework for new tissue growth and support long-term healing.
Anti-Inflammatory Action
Cells within bone marrow actively diminish inflammation while promoting improved blood flow to damaged tissues.
What to Expect
Your journey from consultation to renewed mobility
Step
Duration
Consultation & Assessment
Begin with a comprehensive consultation with Dr. SNA. Discuss your specific health concerns, medical history, and treatment goals. Our team will assess your suitability for this regenerative treatment through medical record review, blood tests, and imaging evaluation.
Step
Duration
Treatment Day
The procedure is performed in theatre under general anaesthetic. Bone marrow is aspirated from your iliac crest (pelvic bone) through a tiny incision. The sample is processed in a specialized closed-circuit system to concentrate the regenerative cells.
Step
Duration
Injection & Same-Day Discharge
The concentrated bone marrow preparation is precisely injected into the targeted area under X-ray or ultrasound guidance. This minimally invasive procedure initiates your body's natural healing process. You can go home the same day.
Step
Duration
Recovery & Results
Experience gradual improvements in pain relief, joint function, and tissue rejuvenation as regenerative effects unfold. Most patients notice changes around 2 months, with continued improvement for 12-24 months. Physiotherapy is integral to optimal recovery.
Conditions We Treat
Moderate to Severe Joint Osteoarthritis
Proven effective for knee, hip, and shoulder arthritis where conservative treatments have failed. Helps rebuild cartilage and improve joint function.
Rotator Cuff & Tendon Injuries
Effective for rotator cuff repairs, labral tears, and tendon injuries. Enhances healing and tissue regeneration for lasting results.
Cartilage Defects & Bone Fractures
Accelerates healing in bone fractures that haven't healed properly (non-unions) and supports cartilage defect repair.
Benefits of BMAC Therapy
Minimally invasive and non-surgical
A same-day outpatient procedure performed without general anesthesia in most cases.
Natural therapy using your own cells
Utilizes your own regenerative cells, eliminating risk of adverse side effects or disease transmission.
Faster recovery than surgery
Promotes expedited healing with minimal or no downtime required.
Excellent surgery alternative
Helps avoid long-term painkillers and cortisone injections while potentially delaying or preventing invasive surgery.
Documented improvements
Clinical studies show enhanced cartilage and tendon function, bone healing, pain reduction, increased range of motion, and diminished joint stiffness.
Harnesses regenerative properties
Repairs injuries and accelerates natural healing through your body's own stem cells and growth factors.
