BONE MARROW ASPIRATE CONCENTRATE

Image
An Introduction to Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC) BMAC, or bone marrow aspirate concentrate, is a regenerative medicine approach that is gaining favour in Dallas, Frisco, and Fort Worth, Texas. This autologous stem cell therapy has the potential to speed up the body's natural healing process after an injury. The Texas Sports Medicine team uses BMAC therapy in patients with chronic tendon, ligament, and cartilage injuries, as well as bone fractures, who want to delay, prevent, or improve their recovery after surgery. What is BMAC Therapy? BMAC is a unique, creative, and nonsurgical therapy option that uses a patient's own autologous stem cells to enhance the body's healing powers. Bone marrow contains a considerable proportion of the body's stem cells. Autologous stem cells, also known as adult stem cells, are used in bone marrow aspirate concentrate to promote healing. Texas Sports Medicine might potentially increase a patient's healing time by using BMAC t

Bone Marrow Concentrate (BMC)

  Bone marrow is a soft, fatty substance found in the internal of the bones, containing a dense concentration of stem cells used in regenerative medicine. Red bone marrow produces blood cells and platelets. Yellow bone marrow produces fatty tissue.  What is Bone marrow concentrate (BMC)?  BMC is a biological treatment that is derived from your bone marrow. It contains a diversity of bioactive cells, such as M2 macrophages, and progenitor cells, such as mesenchymal stem cells. Tiny spaces in the bone marrow hold blood and stem cells, the primitive cells that can grow into various types of blood cells. Under certain conditions, some stem cells can create new tissue like bone, cartilage, fat, and blood vessels. It can stimulate healing for soft tissue injuries involving tendons, ligaments, and muscles. It can also be used for joint injuries, including labrum and meniscus tears.  The first step in producing BMC is to collect bone marrow aspirate through a minimally invasive method that
