PRP, BMAC, Anti-Inflammatory, and Stem Cell Injections available.
In recent years, many non-surgical options have emerged to help people recover from joint pain, tendon injuries, arthritis, and more. Some of the most commonly used injections include Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC), Anti-inflammatory injections, and Stem Cell Injections.
1. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) PRP is made from your own blood. A small amount is drawn, then spun in a machine (centrifuge) to separate out the platelets, which are rich in healing factors.
Platelets release growth factors that can help repair damaged tissue, reduce inflammation, and speed up healing in tendons, ligaments, and joints.
2. Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC) BMAC is taken from your own bone marrow, typically from the pelvic bone. It contains stem cells, platelets, and healing factors. After collection, it’s processed and injected into the damaged area.
Stem cells in BMAC may help regenerate tissue, reduce inflammation, and support long-term healing—especially in cartilage and tendon problems.
3. Anti-Inflammatory Injections (Corticosteroids) These are steroid injections that reduce inflammation and pain quickly. They don’t repair tissue, but they provide temporary relief.
Steroids suppress inflammation, which helps reduce swelling, pain, and stiffness—often very effective in acute flare-ups.
4. Stem Cell Injections Stem cell injections use your own regenerative cells, usually taken from bone marrow or fat tissue. These cells have the potential to develop into other types of tissue and promote healing.
Stem cells may help repair or slow the progression of cartilage damage, support tissue regeneration, and reduce inflammation.
