Amniotic Injections & Regenerative Medicine

Advanced Healing Without Surgery

At SoCal Foot and Ankle Doctors, we proudly offer cutting-edge regenerative medicine solutions, including amniotic tissue injections, to help patients recover from foot and ankle injuries without surgery. These treatments are especially beneficial for tendon, ligament, and joint conditions that have not responded to traditional therapy.

With convenient locations in Santa Monica and near Cedars-Sinai Medical Towers, we are trusted by athletes, active individuals, and patients with chronic pain who want faster recovery with less downtime.

What Are Amniotic Injections?

Amniotic injections utilize amniotic membrane-derived tissue allografts, harvested from donated placental tissue after healthy births. This tissue is rich in:

  • Growth factors
  • Cytokines
  • Extracellular matrix proteins
  • Hyaluronic acid

These biologic components help reduce inflammation, promote tissue repair, and accelerate healing at the injury site without the need for surgery.

Conditions Treated with Amniotic Injections

  • Chronic plantar fasciitis
  • Achilles tendinitis
  • Posterior tibial tendonitis
  • Peroneal tendonitis
  • Arthritic joint pain
  • Ligament sprains
  • Post-surgical scar reduction

Benefits of Amniotic Injections

???? Non-surgical and minimally invasive
???? Promotes faster healing and tissue regeneration
???? Reduces pain and inflammation
???? Low risk of rejection (immune-privileged)
???? Can delay or eliminate need for surgery

What to Expect

  • Procedure is done in-office with minimal discomfort
  • No general anesthesia required
  • You may resume light activity within a few days
  • Full benefits often noticed within 2–6 weeks
  • May be combined with shockwave therapy or custom orthotics for optimal results

 went to Dr. Hassid yesterday for the first time. The office is so welcoming and nice and I love, love, love Dr. Hassid. He is very thorough and really explains everything that he is going to do. He is very warm and caring and really listened to me and made excellent suggestions. He took x-rays right off the bat and established what was really going on with my foot. I am going to try his suggestions at home and return for a check in two months. I would highly recommend this office!!!

I was referred to Dr. Hassid by an urgent care, due to a toenail infection. I am so glad that I went to Dr. Hassid for my treatment! Him and his whole office staff were super professional. Dr. Hassid listened to all of my questions and patiently answered them so I knew how to heal quickly. I had to reach out via email a couple of times with some questions, and he responded super quickly which made me feel like he truly cared about how I was feeling. If I ever have any foot problems in the future, he’s the man I will be going to. Thanks for everything!

Dr. Hassid is presently treating my plantar fasciitis . He gave me several options to choose on my treatment and fully explain all the details. I choose Shockwave therapy even though my insurance doesn’t cover. Dr. Hassid & his staff were so friendly & accommodating. I hope all doctors are as compassionate as Dr Hassid. He listens and answers all your questions the bests he could. You can’t go wrong going to him. Dr Hassid, may you continue to blessed in everything that you do….Thank you
