What is Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate?

Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC) is a cutting-edge regenerative therapy used in sports medicine to promote tissue healing and regeneration. During the procedure, Dr. Petty withdraws a small amount of bone marrow from your hip. The bone marrow is then processed to isolate and concentrate the regenerative cells, growth factors, and proteins essential for tissue repair. These concentrated cells and growth factors are then injected directly into the injured area, such as joints, ligaments, or tendons, to accelerate the healing process and promote tissue regeneration. 

BMAC offers athletes and active individuals a non-surgical option for treating injuries and conditions such as osteoarthritis, tendonitis, and ligament injuries, allowing them to return to their activities faster and with reduced pain. As a minimally invasive and natural treatment option, BMAC has gained popularity in sports medicine for its ability to enhance healing and improve functional outcomes without the need for surgery or prolonged recovery periods.

How does BMAC therapy work?

Once Dr. Petty injects the BMAC into the site of your injury, the regenerative cells differentiate into the type of cells your body needs to repair your injury. 

In addition, the presence of regenerative cells and the healing substances they contain — including growth factors — stimulate your current cells to regenerate and repair themselves, too. 

They also promote the growth of vibrant new blood vessels, allowing for increased circulation to the injured area and accelerated healing.

Without surgery and with minimal intervention, your injuries begin to repair themselves. Dr. Petty uses BMAC to accelerate healing in:

• Fractures
• Strains and sprains
• Torn muscles
• Joint damage

BMAC also quiets down an overactive immune response, subdues inflammation, and alleviates pain by building fresh, healthy nerve tissue. 

Does BMAC hurt?

Dr. Petty numbs your hip area before withdrawing bone marrow for the BMAC. You may feel a slight twinge and be sore for a couple of days after the donation.

He delivers most BMAC treatments with simple injections into the site of the injury. You shouldn’t have side effects other than some swelling and redness. 

Within a couple of weeks, you should notice an improvement in your symptoms. Because BMAC helps increase function and reduce pain.
