For patients with conditions of the connective tissue, like Achilles tendonitis and degenerative arthritis, amniotic membrane stem cell treatment can offer cutting-edge results.
Amniotic stem cell therapy uses stem cells from amniotic tissues to heal your body. These stem cells have anti-inflammatory properties, similar to cortisone and steroids, which our sports medicine podiatrists introduce into your body. Stem cell therapy offers pain-relieving benefits that far exceed standard treatments.
While cortisone and other anti-inflammatory drugs only provide temporary pain relief, stem cells actually restore damaged tissue while providing pain relief. The growth factors in amniotic stem cells stimulate cell growth and may replace damaged cells in your body. Additionally, stem cell treatment contains hyaluronic acid, which lubricates joints and tendons, offers pain relief, helps restore mobility.
BENEFITS OF STEM CELL THERAPY
Amniotic stem cell therapy is safe, effective, and offers many benefits:
- Amniotic stem cell therapy relies on naturally occurring anti-inflammatory agents, such as cytokines.
- Amniotic stem cells contain a natural lubricant, hyaluronic acid, which coats the cartilage and promotes new growth.
- Amniotic stem cells contain growth factors, which stimulate tissue growth.
- With amniotic stem cells, patient rejection is not an issue.
- Amniotic fluid is a highly concentrated source of stem cells, which makes it preferable over other sources, such as embryonic stem cells and the patient’s own stem cells derived from fat or bone marrow.
IS STEM CELL TREATMENT SAFE?
Yes. Over 10,000 stem cell treatment procedures have been performed at Weil Foot and Ankle Institute with no reported negative side effects.
- Amniotic stem cell therapy is a preferred method because the cells come from an immunoprivileged site, which means patient-rejection is rare.
- Ophthalmologists and plastic surgeons have been using amniotic stem cells for over 20 years. Their use is well-researched, safe, and proven to be effective.
- Amniotic stem cell donors must all go through an extensive screening process, as determined by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and American Association of Tissue Banks (AATB).
