The resulting material is then placed into the area being treated. The bone marrow does not get cultured, and it comes from the patient’s own tissue. Therefore, it is a very low risk and effective procedure.
The bone marrow stem cell therapy provides incredible potential for regeneration and repair with its high concentration of stem cells and growth factors!
How is the procedure performed?
Initially, the Santa Barbara stem cell doctor performs the bone marrow harvesting procedure from the iliac crest, which is part of the pelvic bone. This procedure takes ten to fifteen minutes and can be performed under local numbing and/or conscious sedation. About sixty cc’s of bone marrow is obtained in a sterile manner.
