Wharton’s jelly-derived mesenchymal stem cells
What Is Wharton’s Jelly, and How Can It Help Your Recovery?
Wharton’s Jelly is a gel-like substance in the umbilical cord, rich in young regenerative cells—especially mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)—and healing growth factors.
In regenerative medicine, it’s used in injections to support tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and relieve pain without surgery. It has been shown to be low-risk, with little to no side effects and a high success rate.
Ethically sourced from donated umbilical cords after healthy births, Wharton’s Jelly is a safe, non-invasive treatment that is legal in Texas, with studies showing its effectiveness in restoring cartilage in arthritic joints and treating musculoskeletal conditions.
Wharton’s Jelly-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cell treatment can help heal:
- Joint degeneration
- Knee pain (bursitis, arthritis and meniscus/ligament injuries)
- Shoulder pain (rotator cuff, bursitis, arthritis)
- Neck, mid-back and low-back pain.
- Tendon and ligament injuries
- Osteoarthritis
- Muscle and soft tissue damage
- Inflammation-related pain
Understandably, you may have questions before committing to regenerative medicine as a pain management solution.
Our doctors offer a free consultation/examination that will determine whether you’re a good candidate for this innovative treatment.

What is Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy?
PRP therapy is a natural regenerative medicine treatment that uses your own blood to support healing and reduce pain.
Your blood contains platelets, which are not only important for clotting but also full of healing proteins called growth factors.
During the treatment, a small amount of your blood is drawn, and the platelets are separated and concentrated.
This rich solution is then injected into areas like joints, muscles, or tendons to help speed up recovery and support tissue repair—especially helpful for injuries or chronic pain.
How Successful is PRP therapy?
PRP therapy has been used for decades around the world and is now gaining popularity in the U.S.—especially among athletes and active individuals looking to recover from injuries without surgery.
According to a recent PRP study posted in the National Library of Medicine, “PRP is a promising conservative treatment modality for a variety of conditions with healing and regenerative capabilities and clear evidence of safety.”
Instead of just masking pain like a typical injection, PRP therapy actually helps heal the root of the problem – a philosophy we wholeheartedly believe in at Allied Wellness Centers in Waco.
Many people find lasting relief from this regenerative treatment and can return to their usual activities with little to no pain.
What can be Treated With PRP Therapy?
Examples of tissues that PRP injections can be used on include:
- Tendonitis
- Ligaments
- Muscles
- Arthritis
- Bursitis
Conventional osteoarthritis treatments often offer only short-term relief and can come with negative side effects.
Cortisone Injections
Cortisone injections can reduce pain temporarily, but repeated use can cause joints to degenerate even faster and put you at increased risk for injuries.
Physical Therapy
Physical therapy can help strengthen surrounding muscles around the joint and is a worthy treatment for some, but it will never be able to make the joint less arthritic.
Viscosupplementation
May be a viable option for some patients to slow the degenerative process but are not regenerative in nature and often require repeat procedures.
Joint Replacement Surgery
Contains many significant risks including blood clots, permanent scarring, failure of the implant, and poor long-term outcomes. It also requires extensive downtime and time-consuming post-surgical rehabilitation.

ALPHA-2-MACROGLOBULIN
(A2-M OR A2M)
A TRULY REMARKABLE SUBSTANCE
A2M is a remarkable substance with ample evidence for its effectiveness in treating osteoarthritis (OA) and degenerative musculoskeletal conditions like tendinosis and tendon tears.
Here’s how it works:
1. Proteases in high concentrations, which is a typical scenario for chronic tissue damage and joint disease, are bad. A2M binds these enzymes in a manner similar to a venus fly trap and carries them away for disposal, making it an ideal substance for stopping disease processes in OA, chronic non-healing injuries, and tendon or ligament disorders.
2. The goal of A2M treatment is not to suppress symptoms but rather to stop tissue destruction. This represents a significant departure from standard approaches, which use pain medications and cortisone, neither of which modifies the disease.
A2M Injections Are A GAME CHANGER IN THE TREATMENT OF MUSCULOSKELETAL CONDITIONS
Using an FDA-compliant sterile device, we obtain A2M in a concentrated form, 80 to 100 times baseline concentration, from your blood plasma. Using precise ultrasound guidance, the A2M is delivered to the location of the disease, whether it be a joint, an area of degenerated and torn tendon, or a damaged ligament. Platelet rich plasma (PRP) is injected with the A2M to provide growth factors for healing. We have seen that improvement using A2M plus PRP is substantially faster than with PRP alone or with PRP and lipoaspirate (your own fat). As a result, activity and sports downtime is reduced, return to play quicker, and pain relief occurs sooner.
SOME OF THE DESTRUCTIVE ENZYMES THAT A2M TRAPS INCLUDE:
- ADAMTS-7 and ADAMTS-12, which destroy cartilage oligomatrix protein (COMP)
- Matrix Metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3), which is one of the first MMPs to be activated in the OA process and activates other MMPS. MMP-3 is a particularly bad player. A2M binds a wide variety of MMPs.
- ADAMTS-4 and ADAMTS-5, which destroy glycosaminoglycans (GAGS) within cartilage. GAGS are essential for cartilage strength, and their loss renders the cartilage susceptible to long-term damage.
