Stem Cell/BMCC Therapy
Bone marrow concentrate (BMC) therapy is an innovative, minimally invasive regenerative medicine treatment that harnesses the body’s natural healing capabilities. This therapy utilizes stem cells and growth factors derived from a patient’s own bone marrow to promote tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and enhance regeneration in various medical and orthopedic conditions.
What Are Stem Cells?
Think of bone marrow based stem cells as the foundation cells for every tissue and organ in the human body. Shortly after fertilization, stem cells start to form. Without stem cells, life cannot be conceived. We continue to rely on stem cells throughout our lives to replace injured tissues and cells lost every day. This includes the replenishing of our skin, hair, blood and the lining of our gut.
The three key properties that make bone marrow stem cell therapies so exciting in medicine are:
- The ability to self-renew, dividing in a way that makes copies of themselves
- The ability to differentiate, giving rise to the mature types of cells that make up our organs and tissues.
- They can give rise to specialized cell types (Pluripotent Stem Cells)
For more than 50 years, doctors have been using bone marrow transplants to transfer blood stem cells in patients. Now we are using more advanced techniques to collect and inject bone marrow based stem cells in area of the body that are injured.
What's Stem Cell Therapy?
Bone Marrow/UCT therapy is an exciting state-of-the-art procedure which takes advantage of our bodies natural ability to heal itself. Bone Marrow stem cells have the unique ability to transform and mimic other cells in our body. These stem cells can be found in various tissues and are naturally alert and ready to repair injuries when they occur. Over the past 20 years, advancements in medicine have allowed doctors to use stems cells as a key element in regenerative medicine therapies.
In cases where injuries or age-related degeneration occurs, our body can fail to deploy the adequate stem cells needed to the damaged area to potentially repair it. The patient can experience chronic pain as a result. This is where our stem cell therapy procedures can be used. By injecting stem cells back into the affected area and targeting where they are placed, we are able to treat a large variety of conditions and help the body heal itself.
Stem Cell Therapy Advances
With advancements over the past 20 years, bone marrow therapies have emerged as a key element in regenerative medicine. The Stem Cells are the basis for human development and have several distinguishing characteristics. Stem Cells are undifferentiated cells that have the potential to become specialized cells, meaning that they can develop into cells such as muscle tissue or organ tissue.
Stem cells from the bone marrow have remarkable potential to develop into many different cell types in the body. In addition, in many tissues they work as an internal repair system, dividing essentially without limit to replenish other cells. When a cell divides, each new cell has the potential either to remain a stem cell or become another type of cell with a more specialized function, such as a muscle cell, a red blood cell, or a brain cell.
Bone Marrow based Stem cells are distinguished from other cell types by two important characteristics. First, they are unspecialized cells capable of renewing themselves. Second, under certain physiologic or experimental conditions, they can be induced to become tissue- or organ-specific cells with special functions. In some organs, such as the gut and bone marrow, stem cells regularly divide to repair and replace worn out or damaged tissues.
An international clinical trial showed that a single injection of stem cells into degenerative discs reduced low back pain for approximately 12 months with pain relief as soon as 3-7 days and continued improvement over 4-12 weeks. It showed this treatment to be an effective means of alleviating back pain without surgical intervention.
Stem Cell Therapy Benefits
- Non-surgical procedure
- Minimally invasive
- Triggers your body to heal itself in a targeted area
- The stem cell’s natural growth factors promote healing
- Minimal to no recovery time
- Potential pain reduction in pain in just 3 – 7 days following the treatment, and continued improvement over 4 – 12 weeks.
Where Do Stem Cells Come From?
Aesura Regenerative Medicine sources its bone marrow based cells from an in-office procedure that may harvest stem cells from the patient’s iliac hip area if preferred. This is a minimally invasive technique utilized to potentially heal, repair, and regenerate damaged tissue.
Stem Cell Procedure - What To Expect
Aesura Health’s bone marrow stem cell procedures are done in-office over the course of one day. The goal of our bone marrow stem cell procedure is to deliver the greatest number of stem cells to the injured area so your body can heal faster. The stem cells therapy used may originate from bone marrow aspirate concentrate or adipose tissue provided from the patients autologous bone marrow or adipose tissue! This may also be used alone or in conjunction with platelet rich plasma which is rich in biologic substances called growth factors! These biological substances may also be used in conjunction to promote and provide patients with the best opportunity to achieve the results they are looking for in an attempt to avoid narcotic pills or surgical intervention!
On the day of your procedure, you will be welcomed and any additional questions about the procedure can be answered. We will then prepare you for the stem cell procedure and numb the area to be treated.
Your doctor will inject bone marrow stem cells into the affected area needing repair using advanced imaging guidance. By using imaging (live fluoroscopic guidance and or ultrasound), the doctor can pinpoint the exact location requiring the placement of the stem cells.
You will be asked to take it easy after the procedure, but no downtime is expected.
Stem Cell Therapy Recovery & Follow-up Care
We advise our patients to take time off from any strenuous activity.
Patients are advised to take it easy for a few days and avoid putting strain on the affected joint or treated area.
Doctors may require or suggest that a patient:
- Does not take anti-inflammatory pain medication; another pain medication may be prescribed by the doctor
- Wear a brace or sling to protect and immobilize the affected joint; a patient who receives an injection at the ankle, knee, or hip may be advised to use crutches
- Use a cold compress a few times a day for 10 to 20 minutes at a time to help decrease post-injection pain and swelling
Patients who do not have physically demanding jobs can usually go back to work the next day. Patients can resume normal activities when swelling and pain decreases, typically a few days after the injections. Patients should not begin taking anti-inflammatory medications until approved by the doctor.
