Amniotic Injections Specialist

What are amniotic injections?

Stem cells can be found throughout your body and typically come from two sources: adult tissues and embryos. These cells have the unique ability to create the cells that make up your muscles, cartilage, blood, and skin. With their regenerative capabilities, stem cells can aid in repairing foot and ankle injuries and healing degenerative conditions such as osteoarthritis.

Amniotic injections are a treatment option that uses a mixture of stem cells taken from amniotic fluid and amniotic membrane. Injections of these stem cells can be used to treat your foot and ankle complications.

When other treatment methods have failed or are not a viable option for your condition, Dr. Patel may recommend amniotic injections may be recommended.

What complications can amniotic injections treat?

Amniotic injections are a treatment option that can help remedy the injuries or conditions you may be having with your feet and ankles, without the use of steroids or surgery. With its healing properties, this treatment option is commonly used for complications such as:

• Tendonitis
• Pain associated with arthritis
• Plantar fasciitis
• Achilles tendinopathy

Amniotic injections help reduce inflammation, speed up the healing process, and prevent the formation of scar tissue.
