Stem cells and Exosomes, along with Hyaluronic acid are derived naturally from the powerful Wharton’s Jelly of the human umbilical cord tissue, its key active components help to heal and repair damaged joints, ligaments and tendons making it the perfect treatment to aid in regeneration, growth, and healing.
At Embody Wellness Naturopathic, we inject the stem cells and Exosomes around the injured tendons and ligaments but not into these structures which is not done. For joints, injections go directly into the joint. Also, the stem cells and Exosomes can be applied for intravenous (IV drip) use to enhance the body’s overall healing ability for orthopedic pain or for longevity purposes.
Also available from Wharton’s Jelly are collagen-based products composed of Hyaluronic acid, growth factors and 28 types of collagens to enhance cartilage growth in joints. Most clinics and orthopedic surgeons use a synthetic form of Hyaluronic acid which does not cause tissue regeneration, unlike the naturally derived form that we use.
A unique part of treatments at Embody Wellness Naturopathic, is the use of the Prolozone (Ozone Prolotherapy) therapy to enhance the effectiveness of stem cells and Exosomes. They work better together. The reason for this is that the ozone will activate the function of the stem cells and Exosomes making them more potent for healing and repair. For the hyaluronic acid, the Prolozone will stimulate the cells that will integrate or use the hyaluronic acid to rebuild cartilage in joints faster and more effectively.
Is Wharton’s Jelly Safe?
FDA allows for human cell and tissue products to be marketed in the U.S. for medical use. At Embody Wellness, the choice for Wharton’s Jelly products comes from a AATB certified lab, which is the gold standard for the biological tissue industry for safety and quality.
The Wharton Jelly products are safe and do not trigger any immune reactions (immune naïve and do not contain histocompatibility antigens) or any significant risk of transfusion type of reactions, meaning tissue rejection from this type of donor tissue/cell. The Wharton Jelly products are thoroughly tested for sterility from any infectious conditions.
