How Bone Marrow Cell Therapy Works

When the body experiences an injury, it naturally releases medicinal signaling cells (MSCs) to initiate healing. However, in cases of chronic pain or severe tissue damage, this process may be insufficient. Bone marrow cell therapy enhances healing by extracting and concentrating these powerful cells from the patient’s own bone marrow and reinjecting them into the affected area. This accelerates tissue repair and improves function.

Conditions Treated with Bone Marrow Cell Therapy

This therapy is widely used to support healing and relieve pain in various musculoskeletal conditions, including:

  • Knee osteoarthritis – Degeneration of cartilage causing stiffness and pain; therapy may slow progression and improve mobility.
  • Tendon injuries –Chronic tendinitis or tendinopathy affecting areas like the elbow, shoulder, or Achilles tendon.
  • Hip joint pain – Conditions such as gluteal tendinosis and labral tears, which cause stiffness and discomfort..
  • Degenerative disc disease –Spinal disc dehydration leading to pain and limited movement.
  • Meniscus tears –Knee cartilage damage, often resulting in swelling and instability.
  • Ligament injuries –Partial ligament tears in the knee, ankle, or shoulder that need accelerated healing.

What to Expect During Treatment

  • Consultation & Assessment: A thorough evaluation, including imaging, helps determine the best treatment plan.
  • Bone Marrow Extraction: A small amount of bone marrow is drawn from the hip using ultrasound or X-ray guidance for precision.
  • Cell Processing:The sample is spun in a centrifuge to isolate and concentrate healing cells.
  • Injection Procedure: The regenerative cells are carefully injected into the affected area under guided imaging for accuracy.
  • Recovery: Mild soreness may last for a few days, but most patients return to light activities quickly.

FAQ's

What is PRP therapy, and how does it work? +
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy is a regenerative treatment that uses a patient’s own blood to promote healing. A small amount of blood is drawn, processed to concentrate platelets, and then injected into the affected area to stimulate tissue repair and reduce inflammation.
What conditions can PRP treat? +
PRP is commonly used for joint pain, arthritis, tendon injuries, and muscle strains. It is also applied in aesthetics and dermatology for skin rejuvenation and hair restoration.
How long does it take to see results from PRP injections? +
Results vary, but many patients notice improvements within a few weeks, with continued healing over several months as the body responds to the treatment.

Request a consultation and visit the Orthohealing Center for a complete assessment of your condition and to determine the suitability of PRP injections.
Are there any risks or side effects of PRP therapy? +
PRP is generally safe since it uses the patient’s own blood. Mild side effects may include temporary swelling, redness, or discomfort at the injection site, but serious complications are rare.
Is PRP a good alternative to surgery? +
PRP is a minimally invasive option that may help reduce pain and support healing without the risks and recovery time associated with surgery. However, its effectiveness depends on the condition being treated and the patient’s overall health.
