What are amniotic stem cells?
Amniotic stem cells are extracted from the
amniotic fluid via a process called amniocentesis
or after a c-section from a consenting donor.
This procedure allows the harvest of stem cells
without harming the embryo, although there is a
small risk of pregnancy loss during or following
the procedure. The sparing of the embryo makes
the harvest of amniotic stem cells more
acceptable than embryonic stem cells.

How are stem cells used for treatment?
Stem cell therapy has been approved for very few
conditions. Some studies have found that stem
cell therapy is effective for immunological and
hematological conditions. There is research that
shows amniotic stem cells have promising use in
regenerative medicine. As these cells can grow
into muscle, cartilage and other forms of tissue,
therapies to inject stem cells to stimulate
growth and healing are currently being assessed.

Stem cells have been shown to provide promising
outcomes in their therapeutic use for progressive
and degenerative conditions such as arthritis,
tendonitis, and poor-healing wounds. Movement
disorders have also been shown to respond to stem
cell therapy. It is theorized that these effects
are secondary to the increased levels of cell
growth and healing factors that accompany stem
cell therapy. There are also attempts to use
amniotic stem cells for tissue engineering, and
for the development of organ transplants.

What are the outcomes for amniotic stem cell
injections?
The effectiveness of stem cells as a therapeutic
option varies, and more research still needs to
be conducted before definitive endorsement of
amniotic stem cell therapy can be made. However,
this intervention has been shown to provide good
outcomes in smaller studies and case reports.
Stem cell injection has been shown to be a
well-tolerated procedure that is generally safe.
The injection of amniotic stem cells is a minor
outpatient procedure that allows a patient to be
discharged within the same day.

If you are suffering from pain in the shoulder,
hips, knees or ankles, it may be due to
arthritis, tendonitis or a ligament injury.
Amniotic stem cell therapy may help you with pain
relief to avoid surgery and get you back to
activities you want!
