Our physicians require that you have an X-ray or MRI done before you visit our office for the first time. Why is an X-ray ordered before I see the doctor? We offer patient financing through CareCredit. Most insurance companies do not cover these procedures and consider them investigational. The success rate of our regenerative techniques depends on many factors and these will be discussed at your initial appointment. Many soft tissue injuries and degenerative conditions of muscle, tendon, ligament, joints, bone, and nerves, as well as many eye issues, can be treated. What can be treated with the PRP/BMA injections? The physicians use our clinic's experience as well as the experience of other practitioners who perform regenerative therapies around the world. Some diagnoses require PRP alone, some BMA alone. It is an individualized decision, made by the doctor based on the severity of the injury and/or disease involved and your medical history. The doctor uses ultrasound or fluoroscopic guidance and aseptic techniques to inject the PRP or BMA into the injured tendon, ligament, muscle, joint, bone, or nerve. How is the PRP/BMA delivered to the injured area? The concentration of regenerative cells works directly at the site of injury or degenerative tissue to increase the healing potential tenfold. The concentration of platelets in PRP allows your body to recognize the injury as a priority and heals it more quickly and more thoroughly than your body can by itself.īone marrow aspirate (BMA) is a procedure in which the doctor removes your own body's bone marrow, concentrates regenerative cells in an FDA approved device and injects them into the area(s) of injury with ultrasound guidance to ensure exact placement. The platelets release proteins that promote healing to the injured area. Platelets are what naturally begin the healing process in your body anytime an injury occurs. Platelet-rich plasma is a concentration of your platelets (a part of your blood) obtained by spinning your whole blood in a special centrifuge.
