Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC) Stem Cell Therapy
Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC) therapy involves extracting a small sample of bone marrow, concentrating the body’s own healing stem cells, and injecting them into the joint to repair and regenerate tissue. Though slightly more invasive than PRP or steroid injections, it remains far less aggressive than surgery and supports the body’s natural restoration of cartilage, bone, ligaments, and tendons.
What Is Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate Therapy?
Steroid injections reduce inflammation and pain in joints, tendons, and bursae. They are useful for flare-ups and short-term pain relief. Steroids are potent materials used to reduce the inflammatory cascade and to reduce a selective cartilage cell death. Steroids are highly useful to reduce an excruciating pain following sudden joint inflammation following an injury or an acute flare up. However, the after-injection physiotherapy or shock wave therapy and training are highly important factors.
Conditions BMAC Therapy Can Help
Early to moderate osteoarthritis of the knee hip or shoulder
Cartilage defects or joint wear in active individuals
Sports-related tendon or ligament injuries and partial tears
Patients who wish to delay or avoid joint replacement surgery
Those who want high-performance results with minimally invasive care

Aftercare and Results
Following your BMAC Stem Cell Therapy you can return home the same day and resume light activity within 24 hours. Some mild soreness or stiffness around the injection site is expected for a few days as your body begins its natural healing response.
For the first week avoid high-impact exercise heavy lifting or deep stretching. Gentle movement is encouraged to support circulation and prevent stiffness. Most patients resume normal activity within one to two weeks depending on comfort.
