Amniotic Injections
If you’re living with knee pain due to a condition such as osteoarthritis or post-traumatic arthritis from past injuries, you know what a negative effect it can have on your life and ability to enjoy activities. Many people in this situation feel like they have fully explored conservative treatment but are not yet ready for surgery. If this applies to you, it’s important to be aware of all the treatment options available, including amniotic injections.
Knee problems tend to worsen over time, especially without prompt and proactive treatment. This makes symptoms like aches, pain, stiffness, popping harder and harder to live with. Loss of mobility can also lead to a downward spiral that leads to increased sedentary activity and muscle atrophy that worsens knee issues. If you’re searching for relief, an exciting possibility might be an injection of amniotic fluid.
Due to aging and natural wear and tear, soft tissue and connective tissue degenerates and contributes to joint damage, inflammation and knee pain. Amniotic injections contain numerous growth factors that can actually help to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. Many patients who have received these injections have noticed improvement in their symptoms of knee arthritis. This can then potentially allow patients to delay the need for surgery.
The OJRCA Method
Amniotic Injections — The OJRCA Method
Amniotic injections consist of a single dose of amniotic fluid injected directly into the knee joint. Amniotic fluid contains water, electrolytes, proteins and several growth factors but is acellular meaning it contains no living cells. It is believed amniotic injections work by naturally reducing inflammation helping to boost your body’s ability to recover
The amniotic fluid is sourced from willing donors and prepared as an injection by our experienced team. Patients undergoing the procedure will have the amniotic fluid injected directly into the effected knee joint where it will begin to interact with cells and promote healing and regeneration. This is an outpatient procedure, which means patients can leave after the injection and should be able to resume regular activity the same day.
Results are experienced over a period of months as the amniotic fluid begins to interact with local cells and positively affect the healing process.
Applications beyond the knee are options as well for those with pain and osteoarthritis of the shoulder or hip as well.
