How Regenerative Therapy Can Help You Live a Pain-Free Life
Chronic pain prevents you from doing your job and the things you love. Sometimes it can get in the way of your independence and happiness, too. Thankfully, innovative new regenerative medicine treatments offer a way for you to relieve joint pain, so you can increase normal function and decrease frustrating, life-interrupting pain.
Dr. Lawler and our team at MedVital Wellness Center can help you achieve a pain-free life with these revolutionary regenerative medicine treatment strategies.
Amniotic fluid injection therapy
Amniotic fluid surrounds a growing fetus in the womb. The fluid contains numerous healing factors, including proteins, enzymes, amino acids, and hormones that nourish the baby.
Amniotic fluid is gathered from women volunteers immediately after childbirth. No babies or mothers are harmed in the harvesting process, because with a typical birth the fluid is usually just discarded. The collected amniotic fluid is also tested for impurities, contaminants, and infection prior to being used for regenerative medicine therapy.
The donated amniotic fluid is cryopreserved so many of the healing factors survive. The factors in the amniotic fluid that are helpful to healing are growth factors and hyaluronic acid. These parts of the amniotic fluid make this regenerative medicine therapy so effective in boosting tissue repair, stimulating new cell growth, bathing the joints in fluid, and decreasing inflammation in treatment areas.
Who benefits?
Research shows that people suffering from plantar fasciitis – inflammation at the bottom of the heel – and other tendon problems experience a positive reduction in pain from amniotic treatments, also known as amnio injections. If you suffer from overuse injuries due to sports play or other joint pain, amnio injections can help, too. Amniotic fluid helps you leverage your own healing capabilities. It stimulates your body’s ability to generate new cells and tissues to replace unhealthy, injured areas.
Amnio injections are a good option for people on medications, particularly blood thinners, that prevent them receiving other healing treatments. These patients don’t have to quit taking their medicines when undergoing amniotic injections.
Regenerative medicine is not painful and doesn’t require any real downtime or rehabilitation. It can be a benefit to people with joint pain who want to avoid surgery as long as possible.
Regenerative therapy applications
Whether the therapy works for you depends on the severity of your joint condition, the history of the condition, and how aggressive you want treatment to be. Dr. Lawler can help you determine if the regenerative medicine approach makes sense for you.
Regenerative therapy is a boon for pain due to ankle issues, degenerative spine and disc disease, arthritis, hip and knee problems, and shoulder pain.
