Bellevue Bone Marrow Concentrate Stem Cell Therapy Surgery Alternative Launched
Nov 17, 2023
Summary
Interventional Orthopedics of Washington has launched bone marrow concentrate (BMC) stem cell therapy as an alternative to orthopedic surgery. The procedure involves the extraction of bone marrow from the hips and isolating specific components such as anti-inflammatory agents and growth factors, which are then injected into injured areas. Dr. Otoño Silva, the founder of Interventional Orthopedics of Washington, highlighted the role of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and their ability to stimulate healing and transform into cells of tendons, ligaments, muscles, and bones. The therapy aims to reduce pain, heal injuries, and strengthen joints, leading to improved mobility and quality of life. It is recommended for those suffering from joint, bone, or cartilage diseases, back or neck pain, and common sports injuries. The therapy reduces the need for surgery and steroid injections, which can have long-term complications. During the procedure, ultrasound and X-ray guidance are used to precisely deliver the stem cells to the affected area. Depending on the extent of the injury, clients may need multiple stem cell injections over a few months. Interventional Orthopedics of Washington also offers platelet-rich plasma treatments and image-guided prolotherapy. The goal of the clinic is to preserve joints, improve their function, reduce pain, and enhance quality of life through evidence-based practices that support the body's natural healing abilities.

Announcing the launch of the treatment, Dr. Otoño Silva highlighted the role of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and their ability to stimulate other cells to accelerate healing.
Mesenchymal cells can transform into cells of the tendons, ligaments, muscles, and bones. They also contain proteins and growth factors that reduce pain, heal injury, and strengthen joints. With regular treatments, BMC therapy can lead to better mobility and improved quality of life, explains Dr. Silva.
The anti-inflammatory agents in stem cells prevent overreaction to the pain caused by osteoarthritis or cartilage disease. The growth factors stimulate the body's healing and repair processes, improving wound healing and cartilage function.
The new therapy at Interventional Orthopedics of Washington is recommended for those who suffer from joint, bone, or cartilage diseases, back or neck pain, and common sports injuries such as ACL or Meniscus tears. The therapy reduces the need for surgery, which requires a more extended downtime and may result in various complications. It also minimizes the need for steroid injections, which can affect immunity and increase infection risk in the long run.
The clinic uses ultrasound and X-ray guidance during the procedure to ensure that the stem cells are precisely delivered to the affected area. Depending on the extent of the injury, clients may need to receive several stem cell injections over a few months.
Dr. Otoño Silva, an experienced orthopedic regenerative medicine specialist, founded Interventional Orthopedics of Washington. Board-certified in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Dr. Silva specializes in non-surgical regenerative injection therapies. Apart from performing stem cell injections, he offers platelet-rich plasma treatments and image-guided prolotherapy.
"Our goal here at Interventional Orthopedics of Washington is different: to preserve the joints you have, improve their strength and function, reduce or eliminate pain, and improve your quality of life for the long run," explained a practice spokesperson. "We use evidence-based practices to support your body's natural healing abilities."
