Overview
Desert Spine and Sports Physicians is a large spine and sports medicine practice operating six clinics across the Phoenix area, in Scottsdale, Phoenix, north Phoenix, Mesa, Gilbert and Peoria, together with its own ambulatory surgery centre.
This page covers bone marrow aspirate concentrate, usually shortened to BMAC. Bone marrow is drawn from the patient's pelvis and concentrated, and the resulting material, which contains mesenchymal stem cells, is injected into the affected joint or tissue. Platelet-rich plasma and prolotherapy are also offered. Injections across the practice are placed using either X-ray (fluoroscopy) or ultrasound guidance.
The practice also provides a full range of conventional interventional spine procedures, including epidural and facet joint injections, spinal cord stimulation, radiofrequency treatments and several branded devices and procedures, as well as nerve conduction testing and bracing. It lists a large medical staff of physicians and physician associates.
