What Can I Expect From An AmnioFix Treatment For Pain Management?

Chronic foot pain can cause major issues in day to day life, and finding the proper pain management can be very difficult. If exercises, braces, and other methods have been exhausted, your doctor may have recommended AmnioFix injections.

Treatment For Chronic Pain

AmnioFix is a minimally manipulated dehydrated human amnion/chorion membrane allograft, or in other words, an injectable skin substitution product. It is often recommended to people who suffer from foot pain from conditions such as plantar fasciitis, diabetes, achilles tendonitis, bursitis, arthritis, or previous injuries. AmnioFix is an alternative to pain management options such as cortisone, NSAID pain relievers or opiates. However, AmnioFix is a regenerative medicine that treats the underlying condition, as opposed to the symptoms. It is an excellent alternative for patients who are not interested in steroid injections or surgery.

Common Podiatry Questions

What’s the difference between a Podiatrist and Orthopedist?

A Podiatrist and Orthopedist are very similar to each other in many ways. They use most of the same tools and treat a lot of the same conditions. The main difference between the two is their medical training. Podiatrists are trained exclusively on the foot and ankle, whereas the Orthopedic is trained on the whole body with an additional year of training on the foot and ankle.
