What is BMC, Bone Marrow Stem Cell Therapy?

By Dr. Matthew Watson

Bone Marrow Concentrate (BMC) Therapy, also known as Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC) Therapy, is a promising cutting-edge regenerative therapy to help accelerate healing in moderate to severe osteoarthritis and tendon injuries. While similar to Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) in its ability to harness the bodys ability to heal itself through the aid of growth factors, BMC also utilizes regenerative cells that are contained within a patients own bone marrow. The marrow contains a rich reservoir of pluripotent stem cells that can be withdrawn from the patients hip bone and used for the procedure. Unlike other cells of the body, stem cells are undifferentiated, meaning they are able to replicate themselves into various types of tissue.

In the past, the process of removing and harvesting these cells was often difficult and expensive. With recent medical advancements in both the aspiration of the bone marrow and harvesting of the regenerative cells, the procedure can be done with minimal discomfort and patients are sent home the same day. The process is relatively simple. The patient is first numbed using a mixture of local anesthetics. Under the guidance of an X-Ray machine, the physician then removes a small amount of the patients bone marrow from the hip bone which is then placed into a centrifuge to separate the regenerative cells and platelets from the rest of the blood products. The final product is a concentrate which has approximately 5-10 times the baseline levels of regenerative cells and growth factors. This point of care treatment allows for minimal manipulation of cells which are then injected to the injured area. The entire process takes approximately 2 hours and patients go home the same day.
