Orthopaedic sports medicine practice in Santa Barbara offering bone marrow concentrate and platelet-rich plasma injections alongside conventional joint surgery.
This is the orthopaedic sports medicine practice of Jervis Yau, MD, based at the Ryu Hurvitz Orthopedic Clinic in Santa Barbara, California, and serving patients from Santa Barbara, Goleta, Santa Maria and Ventura. It is a patient-treating practice that offers regenerative injections as one option alongside conventional orthopaedic surgery.
The regenerative treatment described is bone marrow aspirate concentrate, usually shortened to BMAC. Bone marrow is drawn from the patient's own hip bone, spun in a centrifuge to concentrate the cells it contains, and then injected into the damaged area. The practice also offers platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections, which are prepared from the patient's own blood in a similar way. The site presents these as options for people with soft tissue or bone injuries that have not settled with more conservative treatment, and for people with moderate joint arthritis.
The wider practice is surgical: knee arthroscopy and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, shoulder arthroscopy and rotator cuff repair, hip arthroscopy and labral surgery, and elbow and ankle procedures. That means an assessment here should include a discussion of surgical and non-surgical options rather than injections alone. No donor-derived material such as umbilical cord cells or exosomes is mentioned anywhere on the page.
Everything used comes from the patient's own body; no donor material is mentioned:
