Stem Cell Therapy for Orthopedics in Dallas, TX Using Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC)

At RegenOrthoSport in Dallas, TX, Dr. Venkatesh Movva specializes in advanced orthopedic regenerative medicine treatments that harness your body’s own healing power. One of the most common procedures that we use for joint injuries and arthritis is stem cell therapy created from bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC). This innovative non-surgical injection treatment is designed to promote the natural repair of injured joints, tendons, ligaments, and cartilage—helping patients avoid unnecessary surgery, reduce pain, improve function and return to an active lifestyle.

Dr. Venkatesh Movva, a leader in sports medicine and regenerative orthopedic care, is fellowship-trained in Sports Medicine and board-certified in Pain Management. He founded RegenOrthoSport to pioneer non-invasive regenerative treatments and their use in orthopedics.

Why is Bone Marrow Aspirate the Perferred Source for Stem Cells?

Bone marrow is a rich source of mesenchymal stem cells that play a key role in orthopedic healing and tissue regeneration. During a BMAC procedure, Dr. Movva carefully harvests the required amount of bone marrow from the illiac crest (back of the hip area / pelvis. The marrow is then processed using a centrifuge to concentrate stem cells, growth factors, and healing proteins.

The resulting bone marrow aspirate concentrate is then precisely injected into the injured or arthritic area under image guidance (ultrasound or X-ray), where it begins the process of stimulating the body’s natural repair response.

What is a BMAC Stem Cell Procedure Used For?

Stem cell therapy with Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate can be a non-surgical treatment option for patients dealing with painful orthopedic conditions, especially when traditional approaches have not provided lasting relief.

Common conditions treated include:
Arthritis & Joint Pain – Knees, hips, shoulders, and ankles
Cartilage Damage – Early to moderate osteoarthritis or focal cartilage injuries
Ligament & Tendon Injuries – Rotator cuff tears, tennis elbow, Achilles tendon issues, ACL/MCL sprains
Sports & Overuse Injuries – Chronic joint or tendon pain from repetitive stress

Benefits of Stem Cell Therapy with Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate

Orthopedic stem cell procedures using BMAC are a minimally invasive alternative to orthopedic surgery and may offer several important advantages:

Minimally Invasive – Outpatient procedure with no general anesthesia required
Promotes Natural Healing – Uses your own cells to stimulate repair at the source of pain
May Avoid or Delay Surgery – May help patients improve function and reduce pain without joint replacement
Faster Recovery – Shorter downtime and faster recovery compared to surgical procedures

What to Expect Following Treatment

Patients go home the same day of the procedure. You will likely experience mild soreness at the bone marrow collection site and the injection area(s) for several days. This is expected in both stem cell procedures and platelet-rich plasma procedures as the healing process begins with an inflammatory response in the area.

Recovery Timeline:
- First few days: Mild soreness or stiffness is common
- Weeks 2–6: Gradual improvements in pain, function, and mobility
- Months 2–6: Continued improvement as stem cells and growth factors improve tissue health in the problem area

Patients typically notice improvement in pain and function over several weeks to months, depending on the severity of their condition. Dr. Movva will provide a personalized rehabilitation plan to help maximize your results.
