Did You Know?

🔹 Did you know that in a study of 26 patients with disc-related back pain that were offered spinal fusion but instead chose BMAC therapy, 88% had significant pain relief after BMAC therapy, and only one required spinal fusion surgery after a year?

🔹 Did you know that in a 12-year study, patients who had BMAC in one knee and a knee replacement in the other reported similar pain relief and function, but the knee replacement group had far more complications?

🔹 Did you know that traditional treatments like steroid injections and joint replacements are destructive therapies, while BMAC is constructive, promoting natural healing instead of breaking down tissue?

Key Supporting Points:

✅ Multi-Purpose Use: BMAC can be applied to large joints (hips, shoulders, knees) as well as the spine (discs, epidural space, sacroiliac joints).
✅ Comprehensive Healing: BMAC contains mesenchymal stem cells (M-stem cells), PRP, and anti-inflammatory proteins, making it a constructive (not destructive) therapy.
✅ Research-Backed Results: Studies show BMAC can significantly reduce pain, improve function, and even regenerate tissue in both spinal discs and arthritic knees, reducing the need for surgery.
✅ Precision Matters: The quality and effectiveness of BMAC depend on how the cells are obtained, processed, and delivered, emphasizing the importance of an expert physician.

🎯 Main Takeaway

BMAC (Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate) therapy is an autologous regenerative medicine treatment that harnesses your own stem cells in cases of moderate to advanced joint arthritis, spinal conditions, and musculoskeletal injuries. It offers a minimally invasive alternative to major surgeries like spinal fusions, knee replacements, and hip replacements, with promising long-term pain relief and functional improvement when performed by an experienced physician.

Tip of the Day💡: BMAC contains mesenchymal stem cells (M-stem cells), PRP, and anti-inflammatory proteins, making it a constructive (not destructive) therapy.

❓Q & A ❓

Q1: Does Insurance Cover PRP or Bone Marrow Treatments?

A: Short answer: No.

Insurance covers destructive procedures—steroids, nerve-burning (radiofrequency ablation), joint replacements, and spinal fusions. These interventions often weaken muscles and accelerate joint deterioration, leading to more invasive surgeries down the road. PRP and bone marrow treatments work to restore and heal tissue, but because they don’t fuel the medical industry’s profit model, they aren’t covered.

At Precision Regenerative Medicine, we focus on keeping you active, mobile, and out of the operating room—not on waiting for insurance to dictate your care.

Q2: What Does the Treatment Feel Like?

A: Most patients describe PRP or bone marrow injections as a strong sense of pressure in the treated area. This lasts about five minutes, after which it dissipates.

• No general anesthesia needed – Over 95% of patients don’t require sedation.

• No numbing agents mixed in – Local anesthetics destroy the very platelets and growth factors that make PRP or BMAC effective.

• Options for comfort – For larger procedures, we offer nitrous oxide or oral medication for relaxation.

Your body is healing, not being numbed. That’s a key difference.

Q3: How Long Does It Take to Work?

A: This isn’t a quick-fix steroid shot—it’s a process of true healing.

PRP and bone marrow therapies activate your body’s own repair mechanisms, recruiting healing cells to the injured area. Because of this, we don’t even begin to evaluate success or failure until at least 3-4 MONTHS post-treatment, but we see you again to assess for progress at 6-8 weeks post-treatment. Unlike steroids, which provide temporary relief but degrade tissue over time, regenerative treatments aim for long-term improvement.

We track your progress with pain assessments, range-of-motion testing, and functional improvements, ensuring that your recovery is on the right path.
