Is Heel Pain Keeping You Down?

CLARIX – A new Treatment Solution

The Unique Regenerative Properties
of Umbilical Cord & Amniotic Tissue

Unlike any other tissue in your body, placental tissue,
which includes the umbilical cord and amniotic
membrane, has unique regenerative properties to
promote healing by managing scarring and inflammation.
These restorative abilities come from several innate
biological factors, found in highest concentrations in the
umbilical cord, that support regenerative healing.
By harnessing the natural and safe power of the
umbilical cord, an injection of CLARIX FLO can control the discomfort 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.

How is the injection performed?

After numbing your foot, your doctor will insert a small
needle on the inside or bottom of your heel, injecting a
small amount of powdered umbilical cord mixed with
saline into the area around your plantar fascia.
When the numbness wears off, you may continue to feel
some pain for 24-48 hours as the injection diffuses and
begins to work. Your doctor may advise you on several
ways to easily manage this mild pain. Following the
injection, avoid high-impact activities for at least a
week, as directed by your doctor.

How soon will I feel the benefit? 

CLARIX FLO works both to control the discomfort from
inflamation and help support the regenerative healing
process. Patients report pain relief in a few days, and an
improvement in function over several weeks.
While the initial injection may relieve much of your pain,
your doctor may suggest another injection after six to
eight weeks to help boost the regenerative process.

Bunions

Bunions

A bunion (also referred to as hallux valgus or hallux abducto valgus) is often described as a bump on the side of the big toe. But a bunion is more than that. The visible bump actually reflects changes in the bony framework of the front part of the foot.

Ingrown Toenail

Ingrown Toenails

Ingrown nails, the most common nail impairment, are nails whose corners or sides dig painfully into the soft tissue of nail grooves, often leading to irritation, redness, and swelling. The big toe is the most common location for this condition, but other toes can also become affected.

Heel Pain

Heel Pain

Heel pain is most often caused by plantar fasciitis, a condition that is sometimes also called heel spur syndrome when a spur is present. Heel pain may also be due to other causes, such as a stress fracture, tendonitis, arthritis, nerve irritation, or, rarely, a cyst.

Fungal Toenail

Fungal Toenails

Toenail fungus, or onychomycosis, is an infection underneath the surface of the nail caused by fungi. When the tiny organisms take hold, the nail often becomes darker in color and smells foul.

Hammertoes

Hammertoes

Hammertoes are a contracture of the toes as a result of a muscle imbalance between the tendons on the top and the tendons on the bottom of the toe.

Orthotics

Orthotics

A prescription foot orthosis is an in-shoe brace which is designed to correct for abnormal foot and lower extremity function (the lower extremity includes the foot, ankle, leg, knee, thigh and hip).
