Amniotic Tissue Allograft for Advanced Healing
CENTRAL MASSACHUSETTS PODIATRY > OUR SERVICES > AMNIOTIC TISSUE ALLOGRAFT
Amniotic Tissue Allograft, also known as Amniotic Fluid Injection, is an innovative regenerative treatment designed to accelerate healing and reduce inflammation. This therapy harnesses the natural growth factors and cytokines found in amniotic fluid to stimulate tissue repair, making it a popular choice for patients dealing with chronic pain, injuries, and degenerative conditions.
If you’re searching for Amniotic Fluid Injection treatment in Massachusetts, our expert team at Central Massachusetts Podiatry provides this safe and effective therapy to help you heal faster and get back to your daily activities with less discomfort.
How Does Amniotic Fluid Injection Work?
Amniotic fluid injection is a regenerative therapy that utilizes components from amniotic fluid to promote healing and reduce inflammation in damaged tissues. Amniotic fluid, which surrounds a developing fetus, is rich in growth factors, cytokines, hyaluronic acid, and mesenchymal stem cells—all of which play crucial roles in tissue repair and regeneration.
Procedure:
- Collection and Processing: Amniotic fluid is collected from consenting donors during scheduled cesarean sections. The fluid undergoes rigorous screening and processing to ensure it is free from contaminants and retains its therapeutic properties.
- Injection: The processed amniotic fluid is injected into the targeted area—such as joints, tendons, or soft tissues—under sterile conditions. This minimally invasive procedure is typically performed in a clinical setting without the need for anesthesia.
What To Expect
Treatment Overview:
- Preparation: A consultation with our podiatrists determines if this treatment is right for you. If approved, the injection site is cleaned, and local anesthesia may be used for comfort.
- Procedure: The tissue allografts are injected into the injured soft tissue or tendon. The amount of injections needed, will be based on your response to the initial injection.
- Duration: The entire process typically takes 20 minutes. Please note that duration time may vary depending on your unique situation.
- Comfort Level: Most patients experience minimal discomfort, similar to a standard injection.
- Downtime: There is little to no downtime, allowing you to resume daily activities shortly after treatment.
- Results: Many patients report noticeable pain relief and improved mobility within a few weeks, with continued improvement over time.

Conditions Treated with Amniotic Fluid Injection
- Achilles Tendonitis
- Posterior Tibial Tendonitis
- Peroneal Tendonitis
- Bursitis
- Arthritic Joints
- Ankle Sprains
- Plantar Fasciitis
Amniotic fluid injections may be recommended when anti-inflammatories, physical therapy, or bracing have not provided sufficient relief. This treatment is also an effective alternative to steroid injections, especially when they are contraindicated.

Dr. Pelto recommended a non-surgical approach combining shockwave therapy and an amniotic injection, which started showing results within just a few sessions. By the third treatment, he noticed significant improvement, and now he is completely pain-free. Thanks to the expert care and innovative treatments, he can confidently return to roller skating without surgery.
