AMNIOTIC FLUID THERAPY
Patients considering invasive stem cell injection
treatment to aid in pain management, recovery,
or healing may want to consider the rejuvenating
qualities provided by amniotic fluid. This
all-natural regenerative therapy is a liquid amnion
allograft composed of amniotic fluid and
features many components that enhance the
body's natural healing process. (Figure 6)
Just as the amnion (innermost layer of the
placenta) protects the fetus during development,
it can also provide the same protection to
injured or traumatized tissue. Amnion contains
collagen substrates, the full range of growth
factors, amino acids, carbohydrates, cytokines,
hyaluronic acid, fibroblasts, epithelial cells
and extracellular matrix. Amniotic fluid has
proven to be multipotent and capable of
differentiating into adipogenic, osteogenic,
myogenic, endothelial, neurogenic and hepatic
cell lineages.
