On your treatment day, if you are having the procedure done with sedation, we will first place an IV in your hand or arm. If you choose not to have sedation, we will not place an IV. For the Stem Cell Therapy harvest, we will have you lay either on your stomach or your back and position yourself to your comfort. If you are having sedation, that will be started once you are positioned. Your skin will be washed and draped to keep it sterile. We will inject your skin with a local anesthetic. The bone marrow is then harvested using specialized equipment, including either ultrasound or fluoroscopy for visualization during the procedure. This process is usually not painful, with only mild discomfort. After the bone marrow is harvested, we then employ our propriety process of separation and concentration to produce the Stem Cell Therapy product. Once we have the final product, we will then inject the Stem Cell Therapy product at your site of injury. Following the procedure, we will briefly monitor you in our recovery area before discharging you home.
