A large northern Alabama orthopaedic group offering bone marrow concentrate and platelet-rich plasma injections alongside standard orthopaedic and sports medicine care.
The Orthopaedic Center, usually shortened to TOC, is a group orthopaedic practice with thirteen clinic locations across Alabama and Tennessee, together with twelve physical therapy sites. The Madison office is one of those locations. The practice covers general orthopaedics, sports medicine, joint replacement, spine surgery and pain management, children's orthopaedics, urgent orthopaedic care, and physical and occupational therapy.
Within its sports medicine service the practice offers two regenerative injection treatments. The first is bone marrow aspirate concentrate, which the site shortens to BMAC. Marrow is drawn from the back of the pelvis, an area called the posterior iliac crest, then concentrated and injected. The second is platelet-rich plasma, or PRP, which is prepared from a sample of the patient's own blood. Both use the patient's own tissue. The website does not mention donor tissue, umbilical cord material or laboratory-grown cells.
These injections are given by the practice's sports medicine physicians. TOC states on its website that bone marrow concentrate is not covered by insurance companies at this time, and that most insurers have not yet added platelet-rich plasma to their lists of approved procedures, so a patient should expect to pay out of pocket for either. No price is published for either treatment, and the site does not say what year the practice was founded.
Everything injected comes from the patient's own body. No donor or umbilical cord material is described.
The practice lists one physician group across all of its sites. The website does not state which doctors work at which individual office, so it is worth asking when you book.
This entry covers the Madison, Alabama office of The Orthopaedic Center. It is one of thirteen orthopaedic clinic locations the practice runs across Alabama and Tennessee, supported by twelve separate physical therapy sites. The website does not publish opening hours, a founding year or staffing details for each individual office, so confirm directly with the Madison clinic which services and which physicians are available there.
No prices are published. The practice states that bone marrow concentrate is not covered by insurance, and that most insurers have not yet approved platelet-rich plasma, so both are likely to be self-pay. Ask for a written quote before booking.
