Stem Cell Regenerative Medicine in Newport Beach

Embrace a new era of healing and wellness with Foot & Ankle Specialty Group! At Foot & Ankle Specialty Group, we recommend and utilize highly effective and advanced treatments to address ankle and heel issues. Many of these innovative therapies focus on harnessing and enhancing the body's natural regenerative abilities to alleviate pain and promote healing. We are proud to offer Amniotic Stem Cell Regenerative Medicine and PRP (platelet-rich plasma) as part of our comprehensive suite of foot and ankle treatments.

What is Stem Cell Regenerative Medicine?

Traditionally, we harvested stem cells from our hip bone through a surgical procedure in the operating room and injected them where they can regenerate tissue. As medicine advances, we have found less invasive ways to take advantage of our bodies' natural regenerative abilities to promote healing. A protein from the amniotic layer of placental tissue has been identified to recruit our bodies' stem cells to the injection site. Rather than undergoing a procedure, we can isolate the stem cell healing process through a simple in-office injection.

Amniotic stem cell therapy possesses remarkable healing properties. It has the ability to promote tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and stimulate new cell growth. Unlike traditional treatments that may only provide temporary relief, amniotic stem cell therapy targets the root cause of pain and dysfunction, aiming to restore mobility, enhance functionality, and improve overall foot and ankle health.

What Are the Benefits of Amniotic Stem Cell Therapy?

Utilizes naturally occurring anti-inflammatory agents
Stimulates tissue growth through growth factors
Addresses the root causes of pain
Provides a safe treatment option for patients
Amniotic fluid is highly concentrated, enhancing the effectiveness of injections compared to other treatments

Here’s a closer look at how it works:

Regenerative Properties

Once injected, the amniotic stem cells exert their regenerative effects by migrating to the damaged or injured tissues. Depending on the specific needs of the tissue, these stem cells can differentiate into various cell types, such as cartilage cells, tendon cells, and ligament cells.

Tissue Repair and Regeneration

The stem cells promote tissue repair and regeneration by releasing growth factors and signaling molecules that stimulate the surrounding cells to proliferate, differentiate, and regenerate. This process helps rebuild damaged tissues, reduce scar formation, and restore normal tissue structure and function.

Anti-inflammatory Effects

In addition to promoting tissue repair, amniotic stem cells also have potent anti-inflammatory properties. They modulate the immune response, reduce inflammation, and alleviate pain associated with foot and ankle conditions such as arthritis, tendonitis, and plantar fasciitis.

Natural Healing Process

Amniotic stem cell therapy works harmoniously with the body's natural healing processes, providing a safe and effective alternative to traditional treatments. It offers the potential for long-lasting relief, improved mobility, and enhanced quality of life for individuals suffering from foot and ankle issues.
