How Exosome Injection Works?
Exosomes are small particles secreted by cells. They transfer molecules which enable cells to communicate. The potential of exosomes in tissue repair and inflammation is under investigation. This has led to an uptick in interest in the use of exosome therapy for joint and soft tissue issues.
Exosome treatment is not suitable for all conditions. Weighing our diagnosis and symptoms, our doctor will determine if it’s an option.

Signals are sent between cells via exosomes. Studies are underway into the effect of these signals on inflammation and tissue activity.
Studies are looking into their possible role in:
