Purified Amniotic Fluid Therapy
Harnessing Birth Tissue for Natural Healing and Regeneration
What Is Purified Amniotic Fluid?
Purified amniotic fluid (PAF) is a cell-free biologic derived from the protective fluid surrounding a baby during pregnancy. This fluid is ethically collected during planned C-sections from full-term healthy births and processed to remove all cells, leaving behind a potent mix of natural healing compounds, including:
- Growth factors
- Anti-inflammatory cytokines
- Hyaluronic acid
- Extracellular vesicles
- Proteins that signal tissue repair¹
These components work together to promote healing, reduce inflammation, and support tissue regeneration—without containing live stem cells.
Why We Use Purified Amniotic Fluid
At Johnson Medical Center, we utilize PAF for patients who may benefit from its rich array of natural healing compounds. It offers a potent anti-inflammatory effect and stimulates the body’s innate healing processes.
PAF is:
- Non-surgical and minimally invasive
- Compatible with the body (low risk of rejection)
- Free of live cells, simplifying regulation and administration²
Conditions Treated
Purified Amniotic Fluid Therapy has been applied to:
Orthopedic and Soft Tissue Conditions
- Knee, hip, and shoulder arthritis
- Spine-related joint pain
- Degenerative disc disease
- Chronic tendon injuries
- Post-operative inflammation
- Soft tissue pain unresponsive to other treatments
Wound Care Applications
- Burns
- Diabetic foot ulcers
- Venous leg ulcers³
Systemic Conditions
Emerging research suggests potential benefits for systemic inflammatory conditions and immune modulation, though further studies are needed to fully understand these applications¹.
We recommend this therapy when the primary goals are to reduce inflammation and stimulate natural healing, especially in patients with conditions that have not responded to conventional treatments.
How It Works
- Evaluation: We assess your condition to determine if PAF is the appropriate therapy.
- Injection: The purified fluid is injected into the affected area using ultrasound guidance for precision.
- Response: Over the following weeks, patients often experience decreased pain, increased mobility, and improved function.
Safety and Quality
The amniotic fluid is collected from consenting mothers during planned C-sections at full-term delivery. It is processed in FDA-registered, cGMP-compliant laboratories to ensure sterility and safety. Since the product is acellular, the risk of immune reaction is extremely low².
A Natural Path to Healing
Purified Amniotic Fluid Therapy offers a natural alternative to steroids and surgery. While it does not contain stem cells, it provides a rich array of growth factors and proteins that support the body’s healing processes.
