When you're dealing with stubborn foot or ankle pain, it can feel like you've tried everything. From physical therapy to orthotics, traditional treatments are often a great starting point, but what happens when the pain just won't quit? That's where a natural, non-surgical option like Amniofix comes into play. We at CarePlus Foot & Ankle Specialists love using it to help our patients – but what is it? And who is it for? Continue reading to find out.
Amniofix is a special substance that is derived from the amniotic fluid during pregnancy, which is generously donated by healthy mothers after a C-section. The material is then processed into a blend of things like growth factors, proteins, and hyaluronic acid.
It's not embryonic tissue or a stem cell treatment, but it is a safe, natural product that provides your body with the tools it needs to repair itself.
Imagine you have a chronic foot injury where your body’s healing process has stalled. When your podiatrist applies Amniofix, all those natural healing signals get to work. It’s like putting up a big stop sign on inflammation, which is what causes a lot of pain and swelling.
At the same time, it tells your cells to start rebuilding damaged tissue and get the healing process back on track. It’s also a natural lubricant, which is a big help if you have arthritis.
It's essentially a way to amplify your body’s own abilities to fix things that have been stuck in a state of chronic pain.
Besides arthritis, what else can Amniofix, well, fix?
If you’re struggling with chronic foot or ankle pain that just won't seem to go away, Amniofix could be an effective next step. Allow us to help determine if this natural, regenerative therapy is right for you.
For any podiatric concerns you’re dealing with, come see Dr. Hubert Lee and the team at CarePlus Foot & Ankle Specialists for guidance and advice. You can schedule an appointment online or call today at 425-455-0936.
