Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate
BMAC Injections in Tampa, FL
Concentrated healing signals from your own bone marrow power, BMAC injections in Tampa, FL, are part of our approach to regenerative medicine in Tampa, FL, centered on your spine, your goals, and your recovery.
What It Is
Understanding Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC)
BMAC stands for Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC), a regenerative treatment made from a small sample of your own bone marrow. Bone marrow carries cells and natural signals that support tissue repair and renewal. After collection, we concentrate those cells and signals, then place them exactly where your body needs support.
Our Approach
Why We Map Your Spine Before Every BMAC Injection
Wear or injury in the spine and joints rarely comes from a single cause. At DR²SPINE, every BMAC plan starts with our Spine as a System evaluation, mapping the disc, nerves, joints, stability, and movement patterns together, so the concentrate goes exactly where your body needs it instead of a guess.
BMAC may be considered for a range of spine, joint, and soft tissue conditions, including facet joint wear, tendon and ligament injury, disc-related pain, and areas with slow or incomplete healing. Explore the full list of conditions we treat through BMAC to see whether your diagnosis may respond to this approach. A complete evaluation remains the only way to know for certain.
The Process
How BMAC Therapy Works
- The collection site, usually the back of the pelvis, is numbed first for your comfort.
- Bone Marrow Aspiration. Using imaging guidance, we collect a small sample of bone marrow directly from the bone.
- The sample is processed to separate and concentrate the healing cells and signals.
- Image-Guided Injection. The concentrate is placed into the affected disc, joint, tendon, or ligament with ultrasound or fluoroscopic guidance for precision.
How It's Delivered
Image-Guided Harvest and Injection
Every step of your BMAC procedure, from harvest to placement, is guided by ultrasound or fluoroscopic imaging, so the concentrate reaches the exact structure driving your pain.
What It May Help With
Conditions and Concerns BMAC May Support
BMAC may be considered for spine structures, joints, tendons, ligaments, and other areas affected by wear or injury. As part of regenerative orthopedics, it is designed to help reduce inflammation and support your body's own recovery process. Because it uses your own tissue, it is classified as an autologous treatment.

Could BMAC Help You Avoid Surgery?

Good candidates typically show early to moderate tissue damage instead of advanced structural failure requiring surgical repair. Candidacy is determined only after a complete evaluation, including a review of your imaging when appropriate.

Your BMAC Visit: Recovery Timeline and Aftercare
BMAC is performed in the office in a single visit. Your care team will explain aftercare specific to the treated area and whether more than one session may help your particular condition. Most patients return to light activity within a few days, with a graded return to full activity based on your treatment plan. Individual results vary, and not everyone is a candidate.

BMAC vs. Protein Concentrate from BMAC
Some patients ask whether BMAC is the same as protein concentrate from BMAC. The two are related but serve different purposes. BMAC delivers a concentrate of whole cells and healing signals, while Protein Concentrate from BMAC isolates specific proteins for a more targeted anti-inflammatory effect in certain conditions. During your consultation, Dr. Díaz-Ramírez will explain which option, or combination, fits your diagnosis and goals.
