A regenerative option drawn from your own bone marrow, considered for certain joint, tendon, and tissue concerns.
The plain-language overview
Learn about BMAC therapy in Nashville, TN, at Dr. Ethan Kellum Regenerative Solutions. A marrow-derived option discussed for some joint and soft-tissue concerns.
Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC) is a regenerative therapy derived from a patient’s own bone marrow. It contains a rich combination of mesenchymal stem cells, growth factors, and healing proteins that work together to restore damaged tissues and reduce inflammation. The bone marrow is collected from the hip using a minimally invasive technique, then processed to concentrate the most potent regenerative components. Once injected into the injured area, these healing cells stimulate repair and renewal, helping patients recover strength, mobility, and comfort without the need for surgery.

From marrow aspiration to guided placement
BMAC is collected from bone marrow, concentrated, and then placed into the discussed area under sterile technique.
During the BMAC procedure, bone marrow is aspirated from the pelvis using sterile techniques and processed in a specialized centrifuge to separate and concentrate the regenerative cells. This concentrated solution is then carefully injected into the affected area under imaging guidance for accuracy. Once introduced, the stem cells release growth factors and bioactive molecules that signal the body to repair…
Talk with the teamA small sample is typically taken from the pelvis using sterile technique.
The sample is processed to concentrate regenerative cell components.
The concentrate is placed into the affected joint or tissue when appropriate.
The concentrated cells and signals may support the body’s repair processes over time.
What the visit includes
Requesting a consultation does not commit you to a procedure. The steps below are how a plan is discussed, carried out, and followed.
By phone or in person. The visit covers your history, the joint, and whether bone marrow aspirate concentrate is appropriate.
If bone marrow aspirate concentrate is appropriate, the visit is the procedure described above.
The team checks the response and the next step. Results vary, and follow-up is part of the plan.

The practice approach

Questions patients ask
Clear starting points for a more specific conversation with the clinical team.
Yes, BMAC therapy in Nashville, TN, can be used alone or in combination with other regenerative treatments, such as PRP or A2M injections, to enhance healing and recovery outcomes.
While both promote regeneration, PRP uses platelets and growth factors from blood, whereas BMAC includes stem cells, making it more potent for advanced tissue repair.
Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate releases growth factors that signal cells to rebuild damaged tissue, reduce inflammation, and restore normal joint and muscle function.
BMAC injections in Nashville, TN, can help treat arthritis, tendon injuries, ligament tears, joint degeneration, and chronic musculoskeletal pain.
Most patients notice gradual improvement within a few weeks, with continued gains in strength, mobility, and comfort over several months as tissue regenerates.
