Post Laminectomy Syndrome (Failed Back Syndrome)

Spine surgeons perform back surgery to reduce or eliminate chronic back or leg pain due to spinal nerve compression. Should surgery fail to achieve all of its desired outcomes, the result is known as Post-Laminectomy Syndrome (sometimes called Failed Back Surgery).

Up to 20 percent of Americans who undergo spine surgery each year still have some degree of persistent back or leg pain afterwards. Current treatments depend largely on the use of steroidal injections (cortisone) which have shown to be effective in reducing pain, but have a long-term degenerative effect on the surrounding tissue. Amnion-derived treatments offer a non-steriodal treatment to address pain and are preferred over traditional steroidal therapies (cortisone) which merely mask pain as a symptom, offering no treatment to the source of pain itself.

Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis

Commonly found in older patients, osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease with no cure. This progressively painful disease can affect any joint in the body but is shows up mostly in your hands, neck, lower back, knees, and hips.

Osteoarthritis will occur from either inflammation or injury. This damages cartilage tissue within the joint and will cause swelling, deformity and pain. Cartilage covers the bones and protects them when rubbing against each other. It is a firm, rubbery-like material and is made up of primarily proteins and water. The cartilage acts as a shock absorbing surface. Osteoarthritis is a progressive condition, slowly worsening over time.  Amnion-derived treatments have shown great promise in the treatment of osteoarthritis by harnessing the body's natural ability to regenerate.

Improving Outcomes with Amnio Technology

Amnio therapy has been an effective, regenerative treatment for various types of pain.  Amnion-derived therapies work by releasing essential Growth Factors as well as recruiting stem cells to the site of damage to promote tissue regeneration.  Stem cells are primitive cells that can undergo differentiation to form different types of cells in the body, such as bone, blood, cartilage, tendon, ligaments, etc. These cells are responsible for healing damaged tissue by generating new healthy cells. However, with age, the body loses its ability to attract enough stem cells to the site of injury.  In this regard, amnio therapy therapy delivers a high concentration of proteins, carbohydrates, cytokines, keratinocytes and growth factors to feed stem cells at the affected area to promote rapid, natural healing.
