BONE MARROW INJECTIONS
Boost The Body’s Natural Healing Processes
Reduce pain and gradually heal damaged areas of your body
One of the most powerful healing agents within the human body comes in the form of stem cells. These cells have the amazing ability to become a variety of different kinds of cells, from tissue to bone to blood cells. At VCOM Sports & Osteopathic Medicine, we can kick-start your body’s natural healing processes to reduce pain and gradually heal damaged joints, ligaments, cartilage and more by borrowing these stem cells from the place they can most reliably be found: the bone marrow.
Why We Use Bone Marrow
Bone marrow is the soft, spongy tissue that resides in the hollow portions of the long, flat bones in your body such as the sternum and hip bones. It contains stem cells that ultimately become other types of cells such as red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets, which each have their own part to play in the healing process.
Stem cells, when collected from the bone marrow, have the ability to self-replicate and become different types of cells such as cartilage cells, bone cells, muscle cells and fat cells. When we harness the stem cells’ ability to become healthy new cells with healing qualities, we can boost the body’s natural healing processes to treat arthritis, joint injuries and joint pain.
