Why inject contrast before the actual treatment?

Because a needle that feels right is not the same as a needle that is right.

Contrast is visible under x-ray, so a small test injection reveals exactly where the fluid is traveling. If it spreads into the space I want, I proceed.

It takes seconds and it prevents the kind of miss you cannot undo once the real injection is in.

This sheath isn’t going to sheath itself

That small amount of heparin going in first has a specific job.

I am drawing bone marrow, and marrow clots fast. A minute amount of heparin coats the space and keeps the cells suspended so they do not clump before I can concentrate them.

That concentrate is what becomes BMAC, a bone marrow aspirate concentrate carrying the cells and growth factors your body uses to repair tissue. Every step before the draw is about protecting what comes out of it.

Nerve roots live in small spaces, which is exactly why this step exists.

The outline you are looking at is the transforaminal epidural space at L5-S1. The nerve passes through that opening on its way down the leg, and when it becomes compressed or inflamed, patients feel it everywhere below.

Confirming that outline means I know the injection will distribute along the nerve root where the problem actually is.

This is the moment I confirm I am actually in the bone.

I am positioned at the superior portion of the acetabular rim, just under the ASIS, treating bone marrow edema. Before anything else goes in, I inject contrast and watch the x-ray.

What I am looking for is a soft, cloudy spread through the bone rather than a sharp defined pool. That diffuse pattern tells me the contrast is dispersing into marrow space, which means I am exactly where I need to be.

Prep is where a comfortable procedure actually begins.

Before I touch the hip, I set up a femoral acetabular nerve block. The goal is numbing the nerves that innervate the front of the hip so the injections that follow are far easier on the patient.

I buffer it with platelet poor plasma, which smooths out the sting of the anesthetic going in. None of this is the headline part of the treatment, but it is the part patients feel the most.

This small bend does more than it looks like it should.

A needle does not travel in a perfectly straight line through tissue. The bevel at the tip meets resistance unevenly, which causes a predictable drift as it advances.

Putting a slight bend in that tip takes an unpredictable variable and turns it into a tool. Rotate the needle and you change direction, which means I can navigate around structures instead of pushing straight through them.

The hip is a ball and socket joint, and the problem usually sits right where the two meet.

I navigate to that interface between the femoral head and the cup, work my way to the front of the hip, and once I am confident in my placement, I deliver high dose cells into the area.

Precision and dose have to work together. One without the other does not get you very far.

Facet joints are small, but they carry a lot of your spine’s workload.

These little joints guide how your vertebrae move against each other, and when they degenerate they become a common driver of back pain. Here I am delivering bone marrow concentrate alongside PRP directly into the joint.

The marrow brings cells, the PRP brings growth factors, and together they create a more complete healing environment than either one on its own.
