What are the benefits of Intraosseous Bone Marrow Procedures?
For many patients living with knee, hip, shoulder, or ankle arthritis, pain does not come only from cartilage deterioration inside the joint. An important source of pain and disease progression may also be the bone immediately beneath the joint surface, known as subchondral bone. This newer treatment protocol from Regenexx is designed to treat areas with a goal of reducing pain, improving function, and possibly delaying the need for joint replacement.
