BONE MARROW ASPIRATION HURTS! Get it done right with ANESTHESIA

Unlocking the Power of BMAC: Advanced Regenerative Medicine with Comfort and Safety at DISC/OC Spine and Sports

At DISC/OC Spine and Sports, we are committed to offering the most advanced regenerative medicine treatments to help our patients recover from musculoskeletal injuries and chronic pain. One of the most promising therapies in this field is Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC). As a board-certified Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation specialist, Dr. Vivek Babaria, DO, is proud to provide this cutting-edge treatment in a setting that prioritizes both efficacy and patient comfort.

What is BMAC?

BMAC is a regenerative therapy that harnesses the body’s own healing potential. The procedure involves extracting a small amount of bone marrow, typically from the pelvic bone, and processing it to concentrate the stem cells and growth factors. This concentrated solution is then injected into the area of injury or degeneration, such as joints, tendons, or the spine, to promote tissue repair and reduce inflammation.

Why Choose BMAC?

Natural Healing: BMAC uses your own cells, minimizing the risk of rejection or allergic reaction.
Versatility: Effective for a range of orthopedic conditions, including osteoarthritis, tendon injuries, and spinal disc problems.
Minimally Invasive: The procedure is performed through a needle, reducing downtime and risk compared to surgery.

The Importance of Proper Anesthesia

One of the most significant barriers to patient comfort during BMAC procedures is the pain associated with bone marrow aspiration. Many cash-based or boutique regenerative medicine offices are limited in the type of anesthesia they can provide, often relying solely on local numbing agents. This can make the procedure uncomfortable and deter patients from pursuing this highly effective treatment.

At DISC/OC Spine and Sports, we are uniquely equipped to offer a full spectrum of anesthesia options, including conscious sedation and monitored anesthesia care. This ensures that our patients experience minimal discomfort and anxiety during their BMAC procedure. Our state-of-the-art facility and experienced medical team allow us to provide a level of safety and comfort that is not available in most cash-based clinics.

Why This Matters for Your Patients

Enhanced Comfort: Proper anesthesia means a more pleasant experience, making advanced regenerative treatments accessible to more patients.
Safety: Our facility is equipped to monitor and manage anesthesia safely, reducing risks and ensuring optimal outcomes.
Comprehensive Care: From consultation to post-procedure follow-up, our team is dedicated to supporting patients every step of the way.
