Author: Dr. Pamela Mehta, MD

Dr. Pamela Mehta is an experienced orthopedic surgeon renowned for her expertise in sports injuries and regenerative medicine. She is the founder of Resilience Orthopedics.

An aching joint can affect every part of your day. Your run shortens. Your golf swing stiffens. Even walking the dog becomes something you have to think about before you take the first step.

Rest, pain relievers, and surgery are common options, but they don’t always help your body repair the underlying damage.

At Resilience Orthopedics in San Jose, Dr. Pamela Mehta offers bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) therapy to support that repair. This treatment uses concentrated cells from your own bone marrow to support your natural healing and promote tissue recovery.

What is BMAC and How Does It Work?

BMAC therapy is a form of regenerative medicine that uses stem cells from your own bone marrow. Because the cells come from your body, the therapy carries almost no risk of rejection.

At Resilience Orthopedics, the entire procedure is done in-office under local anesthesia and follows three steps:

Bone Marrow Aspiration

Dr. Mehta numbs the area and draws a small sample of bone marrow and stem cells from a large bone, usually the pelvic bone.

Bone Marrow Concentration

Your sample is processed to separate and concentrate the regenerative cells. Within half an hour, the marrow is concentrated into a solution with many more healing cells than the original marrow.

BMAC Injection

Dr. Mehta injects the concentrated cells directly into the injured joint or tissue.

Your visit takes about two hours, and you’ll be able to go home as soon as you’re done. Mild soreness is common, but applying ice and taking simple pain relievers for a day or two can help.

What Conditions Can BMAC Treat?

At Resilience Orthopedics, we use BMAC for conditions like:

Osteoarthritis in the knee, hip, or shoulder, including conditions like hip arthritis
Tendon and ligament injuries, like rotator cuff tears, Achilles tendonitis, or chronic tendonitis
Cartilage degeneration, including meniscus and focal chondral injuries
Ligament sprains and partial tears, such as the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and meniscus tear
Sports injuries that haven’t fully healed
Chronic joint or soft-tissue pain that hasn’t improved with conservative care

BMAC may also help you avoid or delay joint replacement surgery. By supporting your body’s natural ability to repair tissue, it can restore movement and reduce pain without the downtime or risks of surgery.

BMAC Treatment Process at Resilience Orthopedics

Here’s what you can expect when you visit Resilience Orthopedics:

1. One-on-One Consultation

Your appointment will start with a discussion of your condition. Dr. Mehta goes through your history to find the cause of your pain.

2. Advanced Diagnostic Imaging

Next, Dr. Mehta combines a hands-on exam with advanced imaging to pinpoint the injured tissue and determine if BMAC is right for you.

3. Bone Marrow Harvesting

On treatment day, you’ll relax in a private room while a small amount of bone marrow is collected from your pelvis. The procedure is done under anesthesia, so you won’t feel a thing.

4. Sample Processing

Your bone marrow sample goes straight into a specialized system that isolates and concentrates the most active repair cells. This concentrated solution is the BMAC used for your treatment.

5. Follow-Up & Recovery Plan

You leave the office the same day with a recovery plan tailored to your condition and goals. Periodic follow-ups help you stay on track and gradually return to your daily activities.

The entire procedure happens in the office, with Dr. Mehta by your side every step of the way.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Pamela was amazing. She was so thorough and knowledgeable, and when my son got injured, she acted quickly instead of taking a wait-and-see approach. Her team got us in for an X-ray the very same day, which I really appreciated.

What stood out most was that she took the time to really understand what happened and what was causing the problem. I never felt rushed during our appointment. She listened, answered all of our questions, and made us feel like we were her only patients. That level of attention and care is hard to find these days.

Everyone in the office was professional, kind, and efficient. As soon as the imaging results were ready, Dr. Pamela personally called to go over everything, explain the plan, and discuss the next steps.

I would recommend her to anyone looking for orthopedic care. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, genuinely kind, and you can tell she truly cares about her patients and their families. She truly cares from the heart, and it shows.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. So thankful to have been recommended to Dr. Mehta a few years ago! My first experience with her was the meniscus surgery, which she performed perfectly, and I was back to my former fitness level in a short time! What she has helped me with even more are my low back problems, including three bulging discs and stenosis. I’ve had three stem cell injections over the years. (In the middle of these, I tried a different procedure with a different provider, and it was awful!) Had my most recent injection yesterday and the relief was immediate! My son has also been to her for a sports shoulder injury and my husband with his knee. We really appreciate Dr. Mehta, her expertise, and the helpful people she has chosen for her office!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dear Dr. Mehta,
Thank you for your wonderful care.
Age and injuries often times create a long road back, requiring more patience than I would like.

Since your PRP injection — (Platelet-Rich Plasma) I have road a mountain bike, hard. I’ve ridden my peloton, hard. I’ve surfed big waves.  I’ve hiked uphill with a weight vest, far. I’ve done yoga, but I had not run…

Titled: I ran today.

I ran today.
Not far,
But I ran.
Not fast,
But I ran.
Walk/run intervals,
but I ran.
Andddddd Pain free

5 minute ice plunge after

No Advil needed

Cautiously optimistic with spring in my step.

So appreciative of your care and advice(even the parts I didn’t want to listen to)

Andrew

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As an patient with a sharp disability on the same leg as my ACL tear, Dr Mehta not only performed a flawless specialized surgery but also provided my family and I with clarity and confidence in my recovery process. She took the time to explain everything in a way that made sense, answer my questions thoroughly and ensure I'm properly set up with PT that helps

Because of her I've been able to make a full recovery in a tough situation, I'm extremely thankful to her and the secs for writing all the notes/prescriptions I needed swiftly .. !!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr Mehta was fantastic. She assessed my knee pain, listened to my concerns and scheduled my surgery promptly. The surgery went well and I am postop six weeks and just returned from a four day trip to San Antonio where I did a lot of walking. I feel like my knee is progressing well. She was thorough and has a great bedside manner. I would 10 out of 10 recommend her.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My shoulder injury was mis-diagnosed by another practitioner and I struggled with pain, mobility issues and PT for 6 months. After one visit with Dr. Mehta, 4 weeks later I am pain free and back in action!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Saw Dr. Mehta for debilitating hip pain. She prescribed PRP and physical therapy, and I am happy to report that I have very little pain now. She was very thorough and patiently answered all my questions. I would recommend her very highly to anyone needing an Orthopedic specialist.
