An innovative treatment for arthritis patients Amniotic fluid injections, a proven effective treatment for arthritis patients Amniotic fluid injections are an innovative treatment for foot and ankle pains that can eliminate the need for surgery. In this treatment, amniotic stem cells are injected near damaged tissues to help them regenerate. Unlike other treatments, which destroy damaged tissue or attempt to reduce pain, this treatment can actually heal the area and has proven effective for patients with arthritis. It should be noted that amniotic stem cells are different from embryonic stem cells. Amniotic stem cells are extracted from an amniotic sac in a simple process that does not harm an embryo. How it Works Stem cells can replicate the properties of cells near them. This means that a group of stem cells injected into an arthritic ankle can repair the damage done by this disease by regenerating healthy tissue. The injection of healthy cells will also stimulate further healthy cell production in the area.
