After delivery of the baby, the amniotic fluid is disguarded. Now, many consenting mothers are donating this fluid because of its regenerative stem cell properties. Amniotic stem cells are useful for reducing inflammation and scar tissue. These stem cells do not come from the embryo, but rather, they are in the fluid and the amniotic sac.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">What are the benefits of amniotic stem cell therapy?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Amniotic stem cell therapy is an effective, safe treatment with absolutely no risk for rejection to the patient. The fluid contains many growth factors that stimulate new tissue growth, reduce inflammation, and activate stem cell properties. In addition, amniotic fluid contains hyaluronic acid, which serves as a joint lubricant and promotes growth of new cartilage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Who is a candidate for amniotic stem cell therapy?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Amniotic stem cell therapy is ideal for patients who have:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Soft tissue or intra-articular injuries, including cartilage and meniscus<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Osteoarthritis<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-3049\" src=\"https:\/\/usleadnetwork.net\/phwellness\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/BackPain-copy.jpg\" alt=\"BackPain copy\" width=\"251\" height=\"250\" \/><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Achilles tendon tears<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Sacroiliac pain<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Ligament or tendon tears<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Epicondylitis<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Rotator cuff injuries<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Tennis elbow and golfer&#8217;s elbow<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Joint pain<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Low back pain<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Neck pain<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">How is amniotic stem cell fluid obtained?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">When the fetus is developing, the amniotic fluid contains a high concentration of stem cells. The fluid has more stem cells than bone marrow and adipose (fat) tissue. The fluid is obtained during a caesarian delivery, and the stem cells are harvested in a centrifuge process in the laboratory. After an activation solution is added, they are processed to produce the biological injectable fluid. This injection produces anti-inflammatory agents when placed into the injured or damaged body region.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Can amniotic stem cells help with back problems?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Currently, amniotic stem cell therapy is being used as a form of spinal fusion, where back surgery has failed to relieve pain or for people who are not candidates for spinal fusion surgery. These products surround the spinal cord to inhibit scar tissue formation. Favorable results show that these injections help with degenerative arthritic pain, where tissue is regenerated after 1-3 injections.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Are amniotic s<\/span><\/strong><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-2843\" src=\"https:\/\/usleadnetwork.net\/phwellness\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/R3-Horizontal-smaller-logo-300x139.png\" alt=\"R3 Horizontal smaller logo\" width=\"300\" height=\"139\" \/><\/span><\/strong><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">tem cell injections safe?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Thousands of amniotic stem cell injections have been performed with no reported adverse side effects. Amniotic stem cell therapy is actually the preferred method because the cells are derived from an immune-privileged site. The use of these cells is well-researched, effective, and safe, approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and American Association of Tissue Banks (AATB).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Is amniotic stem cell therapy effective?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">In a large study of patients with chronic discogenic back pain, researchers conducted a randomized controlled study. In the amniotic stem cell therapy group, patients showed much improvement of pain after treatment. All participants reported improvement after the 3rd and 6th months, and two-thirds continued to have improvement after one year. The amniotic fluid cell therapy group had a much more sustained effect compared to the long-acting steroid group in this study.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Resources<\/p>\n<p>Bhattachary N (2012).
