Amniotic Stem Cell Therapy in California
R3 Stem Cell California brings over a decade of global regenerative medicine experience to patients across Northern and Southern California. Learn who we are, what we do, and why it matters.
WHAT IS AMNIOTIC STEM CELL THERAPY?
Amniotic stem cell therapy is a minimally invasive, outpatient regenerative procedure that uses processed tissue derived from donated amniotic membranes — obtained ethically from consenting donors during planned cesarean deliveries. The tissue contains growth factors, cytokines, hyaluronic acid, and other signaling proteins that may support the body’s natural tissue repair process.
Unlike PRP or bone marrow procedures, amniotic therapy does not use material from the patient’s own body. The procedure is nonsteroidal and does not require general anesthesia. At R3 Stem Cell California, it is one of four regenerative procedures offered to patients across the state
Note on experimental status: Amniotic stem cell therapy for orthopedic and musculoskeletal conditions is considered investigational by the FDA and is not FDA-approved for these indications. The amniotic tissue products used are regulated under FDA tissue bank guidelines (21 CFR Part 1271). R3 Stem Cell California discloses this to every patient as part of the consultation process.
Top 5 Benefits of Amniotic Stem Cell Therapy for Arthritis
Amniotic stem cell therapy is quickly becoming popular among people because it has the ability to resolve a lot of problems that occur due to old age and the overuse of muscles, bones and ligaments. The wonderful elements in amniotic fluid such as growth factors as well as the stem cells are excellent at repairing most orthopedic symptoms experienced by arthritis patients.
Arthritis is a serious disorder of the joints where a patient can suffer from strong inflammation in a number of joints which may be present in the different areas of the body. Arthritis may happen due to a number of reasons such as from a degenerative joint, trauma and simply old age. Infections can also cause the swelling of joints and bring about arthritis.
Here, we will present the top five benefits that can be gained when employing amniotic stem cell therapy for arthritis patients.
Regenerates Tendons and Ligaments
Arthritis usually damages the tendons and ligaments present around an affected joint. This causes intense pain due to increased pressure on the joint. Amniotic stem cell therapy is able to regenerate these damaged bone and muscle connectors which in turn reduce the pressure on the joint, lowering pain and inflammation.
Reduces Inflammation
Amniotic fluid contains many natural anti-inflammatory chemicals. This means that amniotic stem cell therapy actively reduces the joint inflammation of a person suffering from arthritis. This greatly reduces the intense symptoms of the disease allowing patients to take on other physical therapies for quick relief.
Longer Pain Relief
Amniotic stem cell therapy is able to provide a long term solution to arthritis patients. This therapy works directly on affected joints, and is therefore able to work in a much more progressive manner. This therapy provides longer pain relief when compared to the older treatments.
Growth Factors Help
We should remember that amniotic fluid is full of growth factors. These growth factors are important for the growth of the baby in the womb and have the ability to accelerate cell growth in damaged joints due to arthritis. These growth factors naturally help the damaged tissues at the site of a swollen joint to recover by growing new cells.
In addition, the growth factors are crucial for several reasons, such as activating the body's stem cells to come into the area for repair as well.
Effects on the Bone and Cartilage
Scientists are still researching the effects of amniotic stem cell therapy on the bones and cartilage, but there is a common belief among orthopedic researchers that this therapy greatly improves the cartilage tissue and even repairs it along with tendon and ligament tissue as well. This means that this therapy can stop the degradation of cartilage of an arthritis patient, and ensure that such people can improve their locomotion due to healthier bones and joints. Amniotic stem cell therapy can even generate new tissues in the joints, which means that it can cure the symptoms of most types of arthritis.
Amniotic stem cell therapy is free from the ethical debates of embryonic stem cells and allows a new way of resolving different medical issues that especially occur due to the overuse of our body.
