Amniotic Fluid / Stem Cell Therapy

Doctors at Scottsdale Ketamine Therapy Clinic

Amniotic Fluid/Stem Cell Therapy

Stem cells are the basic cells living in the body, the cells from which all other specialized cells are generated (thus the name “stem” cells). Amniotic fluid is highly concentrated in stem cells, proteins, cytokines, and exosomes that support healing in the body.

Amniotic fluid treatment is a vital method of regenerative medicine that takes advantage of material taken from amniotic membrane tissue and fluid. It offers a number of benefits and can treat conditions like tendinitis, plantar fasciitis, soft tissue injuries, and repetitive motion injuries.

Amniotic fluid/Stem cell therapy is thought to repair damaged cells via the reduction of inflammation and modulation of the immune system. The combination of growth factor, cytokines, and exosomes help the body through the healing process.

 

Amniotic Fluid Growth Factors

Growth factors are naturally-occurring proteins that stimulate the repair of damaged cells.

Growth factors include:

  • EGF: Epidermal Growth Factor
  • IGF-1: Insulin-like Growth Factor
  • FGF: Fibroblast Growth Factor
  • HGF: Hepatocyte Growth Factor
  • TGF-a: Transforming Growth Factor
 

Cytokines

Cytokines are special proteins that communicate cells with tissue. They help push tissue through the inflammatory phase of healing, reducing inflammation, and pain.

Exosomes

Stem cells communicate through exosomes to other cells for healing. They can prompt the release of other stem cells in the body. They also send signals and incorporate into other cells to help “fix” themselves, possibly through DNA or mRNA.

No single modality works for every patient or type of injury. However, our regenerative therapies, like PRP and Amniotic Fluid injections, have the potential to benefit a wide range of patients who suffer from acute and chronic orthopedic and sport-related injuries.

Our Ketamine Therapy Services

Anxiety locks the brain in fear and overwhelm. Ketamine therapy helps by reopening blocked neural pathways, allowing your mind to process emotions more clearly and calmly. Unlike traditional treatments, it works quickly, often within days, offering real relief and renewed mental flexibility for those struggling with anxiety. Read more
While most depression is still treated with SSRIs or SNRIs, these medications work for less than half of patients and often come with side effects. Ketamine infusion therapy is an innovative approach that restores brain connections and offers fast, effective relief. Read more
PTSD isn’t just about painful memories—it’s a rewiring of the brain caused by layers of trauma over time. This can lead to chronic stress, emotional numbness, and anxiety. Ketamine therapy helps by quickly resetting these patterns, allowing the brain to process trauma with less emotional intensity and greater clarity. Read more
Chronic pain lasts long after the body has healed, often rewiring the nervous system to keep sending pain signals. When traditional treatments fall short, ketamine offers a new path—helping to reset how the brain processes pain and providing relief for those living with constant or treatment-resistant discomfort. Read more
Migraines are intense neurological events, not just severe headaches. When traditional treatments fail, ketamine offers a powerful alternative by targeting the brain’s pain pathways. It helps reset overactive nerve signals, reducing the frequency and intensity of migraines, and providing lasting relief for those with treatment-resistant migraine pain. Read more
Ketamine opens the door to deep healing by enhancing neuroplasticity, but lasting change comes from what happens after the infusion. Integration coaching helps patients process insights and apply them to real life. With guided support, individuals turn ketamine experiences into meaningful, long-term transformation and personal growth. Read more
Neuropathic pain is caused by damaged nerves that constantly send pain signals, even without injury. Unlike traditional medications, ketamine works at the neurological level, calming overactive nerves and resetting pain pathways. This helps reduce persistent burning, tingling, and discomfort—offering long-term relief where other treatments often fall short. Read more
Fibromyalgia causes widespread pain and fatigue, often resistant to traditional treatments. Ketamine offers a new approach by targeting the brain’s pain pathways, not just masking symptoms. When infused at low doses, it helps reset how the nervous system processes pain—providing real relief for those living with chronic discomfort. Read more
The Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB) is a minimally invasive procedure that helps reset an overactive fight-or-flight response. By calming the sympathetic nervous system, SGB can rapidly reduce symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, and chronic stress—often within minutes. It offers hope when traditional treatments haven’t provided lasting relief. Read more
