Animal study Suggests: Bone Marrow Injection Therapy as a Possible Non-Surgical Treatment Option for Meniscus Tears

Bone marrow concentrate, or BMC, therapy is being studied for its uses in the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders. Tears of the meniscus, for instance, are of great interest due to the lack of blood supply to meniscal tissue. BMC injections deliver immature cells that differentiate into cells that can potentially rebuild various types of tissue.

Fairly common in weight bearing joints, osteonecrosis is often treated with surgical procedures to re-establish blood supply or replace the entire joint. Recently, however, Victor Ibrahim, M.D. demonstrated that using a non-surgical injection of

Dr Steven Sampson, Orthohealing Center presents new research: International Scientific Tendinopathy Symposium in Canada. Treatment of Biceps Tendinopathy in Spinal Cord Injury with Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP).

In a recent study, PRP injections were tried as a treatment of biceps tendon (connects muscle to bone) abnormality in wheelchair-bound patients. These patients were athletes with spinal cord injury that experienced long-term shoulder pain. Patients underwent an ultrasound-guided PRP injection of one shoulder and were followed-up every two weeks for the total of eight
