STEM CELL INJECTIONS

Amniotic stem cell therapy treats osteoarthritis, tendon injuries, and wounds. This FDA-cleared option promotes healing and reduces inflammation, offering an alternative to steroid injections.

What Are Amniotic Stem Cells?

Amniotic fluid is highly concentrated in stem cells, proteins, cytokines and other important compounds, which are some of the most fundamental cells in our bodies. Studies have shown this fluid to be naturally regenerative and can reduce inflammation and scars. Amniotic fluid is the fluid surrounding a fetus in pregnancy. During most pregnancies, this fluid is thrown away after birth. Now, however, consenting mothers of c-section babies can donate this fluid because of its amazing regenerative process. It is important to note, that these cells come from the amniotic sac and are not part of the embryo.


What Benefits Can This Treatment Offer?

Amniotic stem cell therapy is a very safe and effective treatment. They are FDA cleared and is considered experimental. The fluid contains the growth factors that help to stimulate tissue growth, stem cell activity and naturally reduce inflammation.
