What is Bone Marrow Concentrate?
In simplest terms, bone marrow is a soft substance that fills the inner cavities of your bones where blood is made. And inside of this marrow, there are incredibly small holes brimming with blood and stem cells. For those unaware, stem cells are very primitive cells that are able to transform into a wide variety of different types of blood cells. In this way, they can also aid in the creation of bone, fat, blood vessels, cartilage, and other body tissues. Blood marrow concentrate, itself, is a versatile fluid obtained from these stem cells within the bone marrow. To learn more about the many ways bone marrow concentrate (BMC) may be useful for you, schedule a consultation with a member of our experienced team at Vitality Health & Wellness Center in Toledo, OH today.
How Does Bone Marrow Concentrate Work?
First, our staff will bring you into one of our private treatment rooms where we will sanitize the area surrounding the extraction site. We will use a local anesthesia to ensure you stay comfortable while we insert a needle into the bone and extract the marrow. Once this process is complete, we'll transfer the fluid into a centrifuge that will separate it into the beneficial components necessary for the rest of the treatment. At that point, we'll be able to inject it into the affected area of your body. The stem cells from the solution will then, over time, begin their transition into other forms of blood cells to help the regeneration of the area.
What Can I Expect After BMC Treatment?
Recovery after a bone marrow concentrate (BMC) procedure typically involves a period of rest and gradual return to normal activities. Patients may experience mild discomfort or soreness at the site where the bone marrow was harvested, but this usually subsides within a few days. It's important to follow post-procedure instructions, such as avoiding strenuous activities, to ensure optimal healing and results. Most patients can resume light activities within a day or two, with a full return to normal activities within a week, depending on the individual’s response to the treatment.
What Are the Benefits of Bone Marrow Concentrate?
While science is constantly advancing and we're learning more and more about stem cells each and every day, BMC has helped to decrease inflammation and form new tissue for many of our patients in Toledo, OH. Some additional benefits of this treatment include:
- Enhanced function of cartilage and tendons
- Faster healing of wounds
- Combats bone death
- Treatment of bone fractures that have no healed
- Can improve osteoarthritis
- Slows progression of some bone diseases, including arthritis
Vitality Health and Wellness Center Reviews
I absolutely LOVE the staff and Amanda has changed my life for the better! She reviewed my labs and figured out my issue and I could not be happier! 10/10 recommend!
I received my first ever Botox injections from Gabrielle Parr and I had an amazing experience. I was nervous and unsure of exactly what I was looking for at first, but with an in depth consultation I felt confident that she was going to be able to provide great results! She is so kind and knowledgeable. I am extremely happy with my results and I feel like they enhance my natural beauty. I can’t wait to book my next appointment with her!
I went to Vitality and was seen by Gabrielle P RN and had a wonderful experience ! She was professional, knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable for my treatment. I would recommend her for any and all of your health, regenerative and wellness needs! All of my questions were answered and the information that was shared was very helpful! I will definitely be coming back ! Thank you Gabrielle and Vitality!
Earlier this Spring my husband and I were researching HRT, what it might do for us, weighing the pros & cons, cost, etc. Vitality came up the top result, and we scheduled our appointment. The staff at The Vitality Center is very welcoming. Amanda (NP) is the best. She shared with us her own story, answered all of our questions, the serious and the ridiculous. She addressed our concerns, possible side effects, nothing was left on the table. We decided to move forward. We both responded very well soon after our first round, and now living with amazing results. Energy is back, also better sleep, metabolic function is improved, sharper mental focus, confidence. If you are lacking in any of the above, or just don't feel "right" in your body & mind as I did, stop reading this review and call Vitality. You will be glad you did. We are both mid-50's and feel 20 years younger. It's incredible.
I could go on and on about how Vitality Health and Wellness saved me! I have been seeing Amanda and the team for 2 years and have seen and felt nothing but great results! I have referred family, friends and co workers, who also have had great results! Feeling foggy, lethargic and unmotivated doesn't have to be you, see Amanda for a better life!!

Am I A Candidate for Bone Marrow Concentrate Therapy?
Bone marrow concentrate therapy might be ideal for you if you're struggling with joint pain, tendon injuries, or arthritis and looking for an effective, nonsurgical option to manage your discomfort. It's also suitable for individuals with chronic conditions like osteoarthritis or degenerative joint diseases who want to reduce inflammation and promote healing. Ideal candidates are generally in good overall health and have not found sufficient relief from traditional treatments like physical therapy or medications.
Bone Marrow Concentrate (BMC) FAQ
What kind of conditions can you treat with bone marrow concentrate?
Bone marrow concentrate therapy is commonly used to treat a variety of conditions, including osteoarthritis, tendonitis, ligament injuries, and degenerative joint diseases like knee or hip arthritis. It's especially beneficial for individuals seeking a non-surgical option to promote healing and reduce inflammation.
How does BMC therapy compare to PRP?
While both BMC and PRP therapies use your body's natural healing properties, BMC contains a higher concentration of stem cells and growth factors, making it more potent for treating more severe or chronic conditions. PRP is typically used for milder injuries or as a complementary treatment.
How often should I schedule BMC injections?
The frequency of BMC injections depends on your specific condition and response to treatment. Most patients may require a follow-up session after several months, but your provider at Vitality Health & Wellness Center will recommend a schedule tailored to your needs to achieve the best results.
What kind of results can I expect from bone marrow concentrate therapy, and how soon will I see them?
Results from bone marrow concentrate therapy can vary depending on the condition being treated and the individual's healing response. Some patients may begin to notice improvements within a few weeks, while for others, it may take a few months to experience the full benefits. The therapy is designed to support the body's natural healing process, which means that improvements are often gradual. Many patients report a significant reduction in pain and improved function over time, particularly in joint and soft tissue injuries.
How does bone marrow concentrate therapy compare to surgical options for joint pain?
Bone marrow concentrate therapy offers a minimally invasive alternative to surgical interventions for joint pain. Unlike surgery, which often involves significant downtime and rehabilitation, BMC therapy involves a simple injection with a much shorter recovery period. While surgery may be necessary for severe cases, BMC can provide substantial relief for many patients without the risks and recovery time associated with surgical procedures. Additionally, BMC therapy can be repeated if necessary, whereas surgery is often a one-time intervention with more permanent consequences.
Can bone marrow concentrate therapy be combined with other treatments?
To enhance results, bone marrow concentrate therapy can often be combined with other regenerative treatments, such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy or physical therapy. Combining treatments can provide a more comprehensive approach to healing, addressing tissue repair and inflammation. Our team will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that may include multiple therapies to achieve the best possible outcome. Combining treatments is often tailored to a specific condition and the patient's overall health status.
