What is amniotic fluid?

Amniotic Fluid is the liquid that surrounds an unborn baby during pregnancy and is also a bi-product from birth. After a C-section, the amniotic fluid is extracted, taken to a processing facility, and certified by the FDA for safety and cleanliness.

How does amniotic fluid help?

Amniotic fluid is made up of a few different elements, including stem cells and growth factors. This regenerative medicine aids in the healing process, serving as a repair system for your body’s blood, bone, muscle, and tissue.

About the procedure

Amniotic stem cell injections are typically administered once per year. The injection can be dispensed quickly. Once you’re ready, Dr. Burns will prep the area and administer the medicine.

What conditions does regenerative therapy help?

All patients with chronic foot, ankle, and heel pain can benefit from amniotic stem cell injections. The treatment offers a natural and safe alternative to painful, unnecessary surgeries and risky medications. Patients of our practice who are experiencing one or more or the following conditions may choose RIT.

Foot & ankle osteoarthritic joints

Foot and ankle joint pain occurs when a person who has arthritis ages. Over time, the foot and/or ankle joint becomes more inflated, breaking down cartilage tissues and causing extreme pain. Our stem cell therapy injection helps by reducing swelling and repairing damaged tissues.

Plantar fasciitis

Repeated strain and activity on an inflamed plantar fascia can cause extreme pain, irritation, and stiffness (known as plantar fasciitis). This condition is disruptive. Our regenerative injection treatment will help reduce swelling and irritation and also work to heal your plantar fascia.

Tendonitis

Tendonitis occurs when repetitive actions are performed on an injured or inflamed tendon. Those who suffer from tendonitis experience pain and swelling at the site of the tendon. Our amniotic fluid injections help reduce swelling and protect the tendon for patients with tendonitis.

Peripheral neuropathy

Peripheral neuropathy, often a result of diabetes mellitus and/or infections, causes extreme pain, numbness, and weakness in the foot, ankle, and heel area. AFD’s regenerative injection treatment is a lasting treatment for neuropathy that reduces pain and completely heals the tissue.

Muscle, tendon, and ligament tears

Ankle sprains, strains, and tears are extremely painful and lasting. Most of these injuries occur while participating in contact sports (like football, hockey, and basketball), but they can also happen while you’re working out at the gym or jogging around the block. Our stem cell injection therapy helps nurture these injuries and repair the damaged tissues.

Ankle, foot, and heel pain

Ankle, foot, and heel conditions, from acute to chronic, can create pain and irritation. Arizona Foot Doctor’s stem cell injection therapy will help reduce pain almost immediately while nurturing the injured area back to health.
