PRP or BMAC (stem cells)?
Both treatments use your own body's healing cells. Neither one uses donor tissue. Here is how they differ. Read more about PRP injections and BMAC (stem cells).
| PRP | BMAC (stem cells) | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Platelets from your own blood, concentrated to a high dose | Cells from your own bone marrow, concentrated during the same visit |
| Where it comes from | A blood draw from your arm | A small draw from the back of your hip bone, with numbing medicine |
| Your investment | Starts at $1,500 | Starts at $5,000 |

Can PRP help nerve pain?
Sometimes. It depends on what is irritating the nerve and where. Dr. Buford examines the area and uses ultrasound to see the nerve before deciding whether PRP makes sense for you.
Can PRP or stem cells help a rotator cuff tear?
For some partial rotator cuff tears and tendon problems, PRP or BMAC (stem cells) is an option. A large or full tear may need surgery. Dr. Buford is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon who does both, so he can tell you which path fits your shoulder.
How many injections will I need?
More than 90% of our procedures need only one injection (Texas Orthobiologics registry data 2022-2026). We use a high, measured dose so you don't need a series of shots.
What does a measured dose mean?
Many clinics never tell you how many platelets or cells are in your injection. We measure your dose and show you the number, so you know what you received.
Does insurance cover PRP or BMAC (stem cells)?
Most orthobiologic procedures are not covered by insurance. You may be able to use an HSA or FSA account, and CareCredit offers financing plans up to twelve months. We accept most insurance plans, including Medicare and Tricare, and our office will check your coverage before your visit.
