Bone Marrow Therapy
Bone marrow is the spongy tissue located in the hip and thigh bones that is rich in growth factors and nutrients that can help replicate tissue as well as carry oxygen through the body. They also contain WBCs that fight infection and several others mechanisms that may promote healing. For example, substances contained in bone marrow concentrate secrete active proteins and metabolites that promote rapid healing. They synthesize tissue factors and they even signal the body to activate many of your body’s own reparative factors.
Technology
