Exosomes are produced by stem cells in your body. These little fluid sacs are highly anti inflammatory and they also participate in the repair of damaged tissues in your body. The exosomes send messages to cells throughout the body, instructing them to repair degenerated or injured tissue. This can be very helpful in reducing pain. This is one of many different products available when it comes to the Regenerative Medicine we offer.

Why are Exosomes an Important Part of Regenerative Medicine?

Exosomal therapy is applied to a range of ailments:

  • Osteoarthritis
  • Inflammation
  • Injury
  • Poor healing
  • Chronic pain/joint pain

Exosome treatment uses exosomes from stem cells in order to repair older, deteriorated cells. These can be injected into different tissue and joint spaces throughout the body. The process is very simple, easy, and can be made very comfortable with the use of lidocaine sprays, prior to the injections.

Most people get right back to their normal activities. It would also be appropriate to take a little downtime, especially from strenuous exercise. In order to let the exosomes do their work, you will need to not use anti-inflammatory medications like ibuprofen for a couple weeks.

How Do Exosomes Work?

Exosomes expose your cells to new growth factors. A growth factor is a protein, and it stimulates cells to grow, differentiate, proliferate and heal.

Exosomes are basically a by-product of a stem cell. In your body, exosomes are released from certain cells, and then travel throughout the body carrying messages to other cells. They contain genetic information and prompt cells to behave in certain ways.

In regenerative medicine applications, exosomes are injected into the treatment area. The exosomes most often come from mesenchymal stem cells harvested from amniotic fluid. These young exosomes communicate with the cells in the treatment area, stimulating the healing process and reducing inflammation.
