Advanced Rejuvenation is one of the first clinics to offer the combination of bone marrow and adipose cells in a combination treatment. Why is this important? As we age, our bone marrow produces fewer stem cells. However, there are types of stem cells that both favor differentiation into cartilage, as well as help to create new blood supply (called neovascularization). By combining these factors, you are receiving the best science and stem cell orthopedic treatment available. In addition to it being extremely difficult to find a clinic that will offer you both of these therapies together, when you do find one, the expense might surprise you. Advanced Rejuvenation has decided to keep our costs so reasonable, that you might be able to receive this treatment for 2 or 3 joints at the same time. We have seen promising results from pain and dysfunction associated with cartilage loss in the hip, ankle, knee, and shoulder using MarrApose.
Our tissues are rich in growth factors and stem cells. When used therapeutically, they are called “autologous stem cells”. “Autologous” means donor and recipient are the same people. Autologous stem cells are not embryonic stem cells; they are ‘adult’ stem cells, or more accurately, ‘tissue’ stem cells that come from your own body.
MARRAPOSE IS — USED FOR:
“Bone-on-bone” arthritis
Chronic Back and neck pain
Overuse and sports injuries
BONE MARROW ASPIRATE CONCENTRATE (BMAC)
Bone marrow is rich in growth factors and stem cells; primarily hematopoietic stem cells. Bone marrow is harvested from the iliac crest (low back/hip), using a local anesthetic and a specialized needle. The bone needle is placed using X-Ray guidance, to ensure safety and maximum cell harvest. It is important to understand that bone marrow harvesting for BMAC is vastly different from bone marrow harvesting for transfusion for cancer therapies. In bone marrow harvesting for transfusion, a surgeon removes a very large amount of bone marrow from many puncture sites. BMAC requires only a very small amount of bone marrow from one or two puncture sites. The procedure is extremely safe; we have performed many of them without a single adverse outcome. Surprisingly, it is not painful, takes under twenty minutes, and causes only mild soreness afterward. It has an excellent safety profile.
ADIPOSE-DERIVED STROMAL TISSUE (ADSC) Also X Cells
Adipose tissue (fat) consists of adipocytes (fat cells) and adipose-derived stem cells. The adipose tissue is made up largely of mesenchymal cells (1 out of each 100 cells). In addition to the potential therapeutic benefit of these cells when injected into joints, the adipocytes have the potential to act as a scaffold to allow for the regeneration of connective tissue. X Cells or ADSC are from healthy donors in their early 20’s. Non vaccinated and highly tested for any diseases. They have been through hundreds of peer reviewed studies and have been shown to be among the most powerful stem cells available. These cells are kept frozen and added to your bone marrow with the MarrApose treatment.
COMBINING BONE MARROW ASPIRATE CONCENTRATE WITH ADIPOSE
In 2006, David Crane, M.D. and Robert Alexander, M.D. first blended bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) with adipose tissue into a localized injection for the treatment of musculoskeletal pain conditions. Crane and Alexander’s thinking was that the combination of the two tissues could potentially render a superior outcome to either of the tissues individually. Their clinical experience supported the hypothesis. In 2008 the team at Advanced Rejuvenation began providing this treatment. Take a look at this recent study on using both BMAC and ADSC (both).
Of the small number of doctors performing autologous stem cell therapies in the US, few of them combine BMAC with adipose. Most Prolotherapists use platelet-rich plasma with adipose only and most surgeons use BMAC only. Many who use adipose claim it to be superior to bone marrow and point to the higher volume of stem cells in adipose. Many who use bone marrow claim bone marrow to be superior to adipose and point to the much larger body of scientific data supporting bone marrow’s use. The truth is, there is currently no sufficient research to definitively say that one is superior to the other. Advanced Rejuvenation is among the very small number of clinics in the US that combine BMAC with ADSC’s. Although we do not yet have publishable data, we have been pleased with our degree of patient satisfaction since early 2010.

Avoid Surgery Using Stem Cells
This was a 2 yr follow-up with a woman who had osteoarthritis of her knee joints. After stem cells from fat and bone marrow and PRP, which is using one’s blood factors to stimulate a regenerative effect in the body, she was pain-free. This is a way for you to avoid painful surgery. Stem cells are minimally invasive, with little to no downtime needed.
