Dr. Joshua John-Ram Schacter explains how bone marrow aspirate treats joint pain. The procedure collects bone marrow, concentrates it in a centrifuge, then injects it into the damaged joint. Stem cells, platelets, and growth factors in the concentrate reduce inflammation and promote tissue repair.
You've got platelets which are packed with growth factors and signal and accelerate the healing process.
So why bone marrow? Well, because inside your own bone marrow is a powerful natural blend that your body already uses to heal itself. In there, you've got stem cells, which are your body's raw repair material. These are cells capable of transforming into the specific cells that you need to rebuild damaged tissue. You've got platelets which are packed with growth factors and signal and accelerate the healing process. You've got cytokines, which are natural messengers that help reduce inflammation and guide regeneration. And you've got healing proteins and growth factors, the catalysts that support repair, restore mobility and project your joints long term. So here's how we use it. Well, we collect a small sample of your bone marrow and it's processed using an advanced centrifuge technology to really concentrate those regenerative components. Then we precisely inject it into your painful joint, tendon or ligament.
