Stem cell therapy Vs. steroid injection therapy for Mortons neuroma?
Stem cell therapy is superior to steroid injection therapy in a number of ways.
Not only does the stem cell therapy hasten the process of rejuvenation and recovery; but can also effectively alleviate ongoing inflammation and disturbing pain symptoms. The effects are driven by the cytokines and other natural chemical messengers that are released in response to the rupturing or lysis of platelets.
