AMNIOTIC FLUID THERAPY
(STEM CELL THERAPY) |
Regenerative
medicine is a cutting-edge form of treatment in orthopedics involving
biological therapies to assist in your body's own healing process.
We, at Toledo Orthopaedic Surgeons, will utilize the amniotic
fluid to inject it into injured areas. This has been shown to
stimulate healing and speed repair for bone, muscle, joint, soft
tissue, and nerve injuries. Our therapies are aimed toward
patients who have failed conventional treatments such as
anti-inflammatory medicine, cortisone injections, physical therapy,
surgery and rest.
Although not all patients are candidates for
regenerative procedures, we offer initial consultations to explore
individualized treatment plans for each patient. Please call our office
at 419-578-7200 to schedule your consultation today.
Services
Provided
Active adults experience a number of conditions that can be treated
with regenerative medicine including (but not limited to):
- Osteoarthritis (of any
joint)
- Muscle strains
- Ligament sprains
- Various forms of
tendinitis or tendinosis
- Plantar fasciitis
- Compression nerve injuries
We
will use ultrasound guidance, if needed, for targeted placement of the
amniotic fluid into the damaged tissue. The outcome of each
treatment depends upon the site and severity of the injury as well as
the patient's own healing potential. Your doctor will discuss
this with you at your initial appointment.
Your
Initial Visit
At
your initial consultation we recommend that you bring all documentation
related to your orthopedic problem including any X-ray or MRI discs
that have previously been obtained through other
providers. During
your appointment we will review your medical and orthopedic history, as
well as, do
an extensive exam.
Insurance
Guidelines
At
this time, insurance companies do not cover this procedure as it is
considered to be investigational. The overall cost for the
treatment will ultimately depend on the type of treatment recommended,
whether one versus multiple treatment rounds are ordered to
optimize outcomes.
Payment
Once
treatment is decided and cost discussed, we respectfully request that
payment be made prior to your injection date. Payments may be made up
to a week prior to your procedure. We accept all major credit cards,
checks, and cash.
