Kardashian Stem Cell Secret: Kylie Follows Kim's Pain Relief
5 Dec
Summary
- Kylie Jenner sought stem cell therapy for chronic back pain.
- Kim Kardashian previously found relief from back and shoulder pain.
- Unproven stem cell therapies face scrutiny for safety and efficacy.
Kylie Jenner has publicly shared her journey with chronic back pain, announcing her decision to undergo stem cell therapy. This treatment, aimed at promoting healing and reducing inflammation, has become a point of interest for the reality star who has struggled with pain for nearly three years since the birth of her son Aire Webster. Jenner's decision was influenced by her sister, Kim Kardashian, who reported significant relief from her own chronic shoulder and back pain after receiving similar treatment.
Stem cell therapy involves injecting collected stem cells into damaged body areas, utilizing their ability to differentiate into various cell types to aid repair. While stem cells have been used since the 1960s to treat serious conditions like leukemia, a significant number of clinics market unproven therapies. These experimental treatments, often costly and not covered by insurance, carry risks including infections and lifelong disabilities, according to health authorities.
