Amniotic Fluid Allograft Injections

Millions of patients each year suffer from back, neck, and/or joint pain.  Until now treatment options have been limited to over the counter anti-inflammatory medications, steroid injections, opiate pain medications, or surgery.  Airport Plaza Spine & Wellness now offers a cutting edge treatment known as Amniotic Fluid Allograft Injections. These are successfully utilized to treat patients for osteoarthritis and other debilitating issues when other conventional treatments have been attempted and failed.

How Do The Injections Work?

The Injections offer the ability to heal damaged tissue naturally. With this therapy, amniotic tissue is injected directly into your problem area. These tissues have strong anti-inflammatory properties. However, the amniotic fluid therapy goes far beyond the benefits of standard “injection therapy.” While cortisone and other drugs only provide temporary pain relief, amniotic allograft actually restores degenerated tissue while providing pain relief. The growth factors in amniotic tissue may replace damaged cells in your body. Additionally, amniotic fluid allografts contain hyaluronic acid, which lubricates joints and tendons, easing the pain and helping restore mobility.  For optimal results, we utilize precision-guided fluoroscopy to ensure the amniotic fluid allografts are injected into exactly the right location.

What Benefits Does Amniotic Stem Cell Therapy Offer?

• These injections contains no steroids. Instead, the injections rely on naturally occurring anti-inflammatory agents, such as cytokines.
• Injections contain hyaluronic acid, which lubricates cartilage and promotes new cartilage growth.
• The Injections contain growth factors, which stimulate tissue growth.
• With these Injections, there is no threat of patient rejection.
• Lastly, amniotic fluid is a highly concentrated source of stem cells, which makes this type of stem cell injection preferable over embryonic stem cells and the patient’s own stem cells (from fat or bone marrow).

Are The Injections Safe?

• Yes, more than 10,000 injections have been performed without a single reported adverse side effect.
• These injections are a preferred type of stem cell therapy because the cells come from an immune-privileged site, which means that patient rejection is extremely rare.
• The use of these types of injections is well researched, safe, and effective. Amniotic stem cells have been used by ophthalmologists and plastic surgeons for about 20 years.
• All amniotic stem cell donors go through a rigorous screening process, as determined by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the American Association of Tissue Banks (AATB).

Am I A Candidate for Amniotic Fluid Allograft Therapy?
