WHARTON’S JELLY & EXOSOMES
NON-SURGICAL OPTIONS FOR JOINT PAIN

At Mt. Pleasant Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, we offer advanced biologic, non-surgical options to support your joint’s natural environment.

Wharton’s Jelly

Wharton’s jelly-derived exosome therapy is a regenerative medicine treatment designed to support the body’s natural healing response. Wharton’s jelly is a connective tissue found in the umbilical cord that contains biologically active components, including growth factors and signaling molecules. Exosomes are microscopic extracellular vesicles that help facilitate communication between cells.

In clinical settings, exosome-based therapies are used to support tissue repair, modulate inflammation, and promote recovery in musculoskeletal conditions. Treatment involves a targeted injection into the affected area as part of a personalized care plan.

Exosomes

In cell-to-cell communication, exosomes act as microscopic cellular messengers. They are released naturally by cells and carry signaling components that support healthy communication through your body. They can be used in orthobiologic applications to support the joint environment, including pathways involved in regulating inflammation.

Regenerative Support for Musculoskeletal Conditions

Exosome therapy may be considered for joint discomfort, soft tissue injuries, or degenerative conditions affecting mobility and function. It is a minimally invasive option for patients exploring non-surgical treatment approaches. Our providers carefully evaluate each patient to determine whether regenerative therapies may be appropriate based on individual needs and goals. Get in touch with us today to learn more about this type of therapy and find out if it’s right for you.
