what is clarix flo therapy
Clarix Flo is a type of amniotic fluid-derived product that contains growth factors, cytokines, and other bioactive components that can help to reduce inflammation and promote tissue healing. By injecting a solution of Clarix Flo into the affected joint, inflammation and pain can be reduced, and tissue regeneration can be promoted.
Clarix Flo is typically used in cases of mild to moderate arthritis, or as a supplement to PRP therapy in more severe cases.
Overall, regenerative treatments offer a promising approach to treating arthritis by promoting tissue regeneration and reducing inflammation.
While results can vary depending on the severity of the arthritis and the individual patient’s overall health, many patients have experienced significant improvements in pain and function following these treatments.

Clarix Flo can be used to treat a variety of conditions, including:
- Soft tissue injuries: Clarix Flo can be used to promote healing and reduce inflammation following soft tissue injuries, such as strains, sprains, and tears.
- Tendon and ligament injuries: Clarix Flo may be used to promote healing and reduce inflammation following injuries to tendons and ligaments.
- Osteoarthritis: Clarix Flo may be used to promote cartilage regeneration and reduce inflammation in joints affected by osteoarthritis.
- Chronic wounds: Clarix Flo may be used to treat chronic wounds that have not healed with traditional wound care techniques. This may include diabetic foot ulcers, venous leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, and other types of non-healing wounds.
- Surgical wounds: Clarix Flo may be used to promote healing and reduce scarring following surgery, including plastic surgery procedures.
- Burns: Clarix Flo may be used to promote healing and reduce scarring following burns.
Clarix Flo and A2M (alpha-2-macroglobulin) are two types of biologic treatments that can be used in conjunction with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and stem cell therapy for the treatment of arthritis.
Both Clarix Flo and A2M can be used in combination with PRP or stem cell therapy to enhance the therapeutic effects of the treatment, by providing additional growth factors and anti-inflammatory components to the affected joint.
However, the decision to use Clarix Flo or A2M will depend on a variety of factors, including the type and severity of the arthritis, as well as the patient’s individual needs and medical history.
A NEW TREATMENT SOLUTION
Unlike any other tissue in your body, amniotic tissue, which has unique regenerative properties to promote healing without evidence of scarring or damage. These reparative abilities come from several innate biological factors, found in highest concentrations in the umbilical cord, that control inflammation and promote tissue growth and regenerative healing.
By harnessing the natural and safe power of the umbilical cord, an injection of CLARIX FLO can control the pain and inflammation from plantar fasciitis and help long-term tissue regeneration. Don’t let heel pain hurt you any longer. Get back to the activities you once enjoyed with CLARIX FLO.
PLANTAR FASCIITIS
Heel discomfort is a leading cause of pain and disability in the US, affecting over 2 million people each year. It occurs in people of all ages and activity levels, eventually impacting one-in-ten at some point in their life.
The most common cause of heel pain is plantar fasciitis. This is characterized by intense pain and stiffness with those first morning steps and gradual pain throughout the day, especially after standing for long periods or after exercise. The condition often develops slowly along the fibrous band of tissue along the sole of your foot – the plantar fascia, which supports your foot’s arch and acts as a shock absorber.
The tissue’s shock absorbing abilities can be strained as a result of altered foot mechanics (like high or low arches), an increase in repetitive activities (like running), poorly fitted shoes, weight-gain or the natural process of aging.
These repetitive stresses can produce a gradual accumulation of small tears in the fascia, causing the structure to get weak, swollen and irritated, leading to debilitating pain and swelling.
The Unshakable Injury
The pain and inflammation in your heel can become so intense that they begin to interfere in your activities, sidelining you from activities you enjoy. If left untreated, this pain can get worse, resulting in additional problems in your foot, knee or back. Unfortunately, plantar fasciitis can be very difficult to treat. Symptoms may linger for many months before you feel relief.
No single treatment works best for everyone. It may require a combination of efforts specific to your condition, along with your patience and dedication, to best resolve your symptoms. Your doctor may initially instruct you to ice and rest your foot, take a pain reliever, and perform a series of stretching and strength exercises. In more extreme cases, you may be asked to purchase insoles or orthotics to correct structural foot issues. Unfortunately, these measures may take weeks or months to see any improvement, and have no effect on one-in-five patients.
Our doctors specialize in treating heel pain using the most cutting edge therapies available. This is typically done with a simple injection to help provide immediate pain relief, and repair damage caused by plantar fasciitis.
INJECTABLE THERAPY FOR PLANTAR FASCIITIS
For decades, doctors at times have suggested an injection for patients desiring more control over their pain and healing process. Steroid injections have been very common because they provide nearly immediate pain relief from the inflammation of plantar fasciitis.
However, the injections only last a few months, and do not directly impact the healing process. Additionally, they may degrade the tissue, possibly leading to complete rupture of the plantar fascia. For that reason, many doctors have recently looked to other alternatives to more safely treat plantar fasciitis. Some have explored platelet-rich plasma (PRP), which injects your own concentrated blood into the treatment area.
Others have tried shockwave therapy, which sends high-pressure sound waves into your damaged tissues. Aside from having no conclusive supporting data, both therapies incite an inflammatory response, thereby having no immediate impact on pain and benefits that only arise after weeks or months. An ideal injectable therapy would combine safe short term inflammatory pain management and long-term regenerative healing factors.
