Pain medications fool the body by binding to the opioid receptors in the brain, spine and other areas of the body. They don’t treat the health condition; they only mask the pain by disrupting the signals to the brain. Pain medications are one of the most highly addictive drugs available. There are other viable treatment alternatives, one in particular is stem cell therapy.
About Village Medical Injury Care’s Stem Cells
At Village Medical Injury Care, they pride themselves on using only the highest quality bio-medical suppliers. For that reason, their team has selected AmnioFix® Stem Cells. These premium quality Stem Cells from MiMedx are ethically harvested from the amniotic membrane and feature 285 regulatory proteins as well as some of the notable growth factors for healing power.
Stem Cell therapy with AmnioFix® allografts are produced and processed in the United States according to the quality and safety standards established by the American Association of Tissue Banks (ATTB) as well as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). And they’re calibrated with the aim of modulating inflammation, reducing the formation of scar tissue, and enhancing healing.
Over the past several years, stem cell therapy has become a recommended treatment option, due to their natural and proven effectiveness on various orthopedic conditions. Because our bodies naturally produce stem cells, this treatment is not perceived as foreign to our cells, and the injured joints fervently accept this method of healing. Our joints are constantly under wear and tear, which causes inflammation and injury to occur. Our own stem cells assist in the normal healing process. Stem cells can regenerate tissue growth, and signal repair to the damaged area.
Area and Conditions Effectively Treated with Stem Cells
Stem cells can treat and heal numerous disorders. Some of those include arthritic or damaged joints, ligaments and tendon injuries, chronic and acute bursitis, tendonitis, and plantar fasciitis to name a few.
For extensive degeneration or damage, adding stem cells into the treatment plan have proven effective in many cases.

Image Guidance for Precise Placement
While not all applications of Stem Cell therapy require the use of imaging guidance in order to be effective, Village Medical Injury Care’s team of experts make sure to use the proper imaging guidance when appropriate for the condition being treated. Remember, without imaging guidance, many Stem Cell treatments are largely ineffective, so it’s important to have that availability as well as to have physicians skilled enough to tell the difference. At Village Medical Injury Care, they have both.
