Amniotic tissue therapy represents one of the most exciting advancements in regenerative medicine today. Through plenty of research, we have discovered that amniotic tissue offers a number of benefits that make it an excellent option for treating things such as tendinitis, plantar fasciitis, soft tissue injuries, and repetitive motion injuries.

Here are the eight benefits of amniotic tissue therapy to consider:

1. Growth Factors in Amniotic Tissue

Amniotic tissue contains a cornucopia of growth factors that promote the regeneration of tissue in damaged areas of the body. Growth factors are key to regenerative medicine in that they replace damaged tissue instead of simply masking pain.

2. It Is Collagen-Rich

As you already know, collagen ranks as one of the most abundant proteins in the human body. It is responsible for binding tissues together. Amniotic tissue is rich and collagen, so it can be used effectively to treat diseases and injuries to bone, muscle, tendons, and even skin.

3. It Contains Other Proteins

The human body requires more than  collagen to recover from injuries and wounds.  

Amniotic tissue is up to the task!

It contains the full compendium of proteins necessary to maintain the baby in the womb. Those same proteins can be harnessed for regenerative medicine.

4. It Is Antimicrobial

Amniotic tissue’s antimicrobial properties are extremely helpful for regenerative medicine.

Antimicrobial properties prevent the growth of microorganisms and, in cases where such microorganisms already exist, eliminate them.

This significantly reduces the risks associated with other treatments for wound recovery and chronic pain.

5.

It  Is Anti-Inflammatory

When patients undergo invasive proceedures, inflamation is a problem.

Not only is amniotic tissue therapy less invasive but it is also less likely to lead to inflammation thanks to the anti-inflammatory properties of amniotic tissue.

In fact, amniotic tissue can prevent inflammation rather than just reducing it.

6. It Is Immune Privileged

Just as certain sites in the body can tolerate the introduction of antigens without inflammation, amniotic tissue can be injected into the site of injury or wound without inciting inflammation. In that sense, amniotic tissue is immune privileged. Immune privilege is the primary reason amniotic tissue is also anti-inflammatory.

7. It Is Chorion-Free

The amniotic fluid allografts recommended by Apex Biologics contained no chorion. Therefore, the risk of adverse reactions to amniotic tissue among patients is reduced. Allografts that do contain chorion could potentially contain maternal antigens as well.

8. Procedures Are Less Painful

As with all regenerative medicine procedures, amniotic tissue procedures are significantly less painful than invasive surgeries. Procedures are conducted using the least invasive injections possible, reducing immediate pain and discomfort as well as long-term pain caused by inflammation.

Growth factor therapy uses the body’s own cells to promote natural healing while reducing the need of artificial agents.

Additional benefits include:

1. Reduces discomfort and disabilities.
2. Minimal side effects. 
3. Therapy is combined with other treatments.
4. Accelerated Healing: By harnessing the body’s natural growth factors, this therapy accelerates the healing process, leading to faster recovery and reduced downtime.
5. Tissue Regeneration: Growth factor therapy promotes the regeneration of damaged tissues, allowing for the restoration of normal structure and function.
6. Non-Surgical Approach: Unlike invasive surgical procedures, growth factor therapy is minimally invasive and does not require extensive recovery periods or leave visible scars.

Growth factor therapy is delivered by injection and has given some patients up to two or more years of relief from their arthritic pain. Only one or two days of recovery time are needed following the injection. Results have been felt in as little as a week and most patients only need one round of treatment for prolonged relief. Around 80% of our patients respond in a positive manner to growth factor therapy. 

Exosomes are a vital role when considering the communication and rejuvenation of all cells in our body.

Despite not being a cell, Exosomes are important in maintaining a healthy cellular terrain.

Exosomes are made by growing stem cells in culture.

Next the media where they grow is taken and stem cells are removed.

Finally, media is then ultra-centrifuged which concentrates the exosomes.

Exosomes contain proteins and RNA. These are different molecular constituents compared to the cell origin.

Exosomal protein composition varies with the cell and tissue of the origin.

Specific Exsomes contain a common set of protein molecules.

Exosome therapy is a hot topic of regenerative medicine treatment.

Research gives the valuable insight into the functionality of exosomes.  Stem cells are responsible for the rejuvenation of older cells. This being said, stem cells are not always able to supply the information needed 

As a result, supporting Exosome function will have a positive effect. This is achieved by providing new information that enhances the healing process.

Exosome therapy is a minimally invasive procedure. It is used in orthopedic injuries, anti-aging treatments and other degenerative diseases. Exosome treatment contains growth factors such as messenger RNA, micro RNA, cytokines and other biologically active molecules. This combination allows us to speed up the healing benefit.

Dosing size varies and there are no set protocols.

Exosomes treatment is gaining popularity because of  the ability to transfer molecules from one cell to another. This allows for the Exosomes to influence the immune system  including “dendrite” and “B” cells.
