Is an amnion injections the treatment for me?
An amnion injection uses various growth factors, cytokines, which are naturally occurring anti-inflammatory agents, and hyaluronic acid to produce a protective healing environment that reduces inflammation, lubricates joints and cartilage, and stimulates tissue growth. Growth factors help with various illnesses and injuries by stimulating cell proliferation and wound healing. With the help of such growth factors, amnion injections have proven to reduce inflammation, improve pain, restore range of motion, and regulate the formation of scar tissue.
Whether you are dealing with an inflammatory condition, have excess scar tissue, or have experienced microtears in soft tissue, there are numerous benefits to amnion injections! Amnion injections are a great alternative to corticosteroid injections or surgery and can prove to be beneficial for patients who have not found success with conservative treatment options, such as physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medication, or orthotics.

Adverse side effects are very rare with amnion injections, as thousands upon thousands of patients have received the injections without experiencing adverse effects. Moreover, our board-certified podiatrists will schedule an initial consultation with you before the amnion injection appointment to ensure that you can safely receive the injections. During this consultation, our podiatrists will ask you questions regarding your medical history, any medications you are taking, and any allergies or underlying conditions you currently have. They will also inform you of any potential side effects that could occur, as well as the likelihood of them occurring.
If you are dealing with pain and inflammation from conditions such as Achilles tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, joint tendonitis, or from ligament damage for which conservative treatment options have proven ineffective, an amnion injection could be the right treatment for you! Amnion injections are also a non-steroidal injection. As a result, they could be an excellent option for you if you prefer to avoid or are unable to receive steroid injections. If you are interested in receiving amnion injections, our expert podiatrists will first have an initial consultation with you to discuss the benefits and potential risks of the treatment, as well as an evaluation of your overall health and medical history to determine whether amnion injections are right for you.
