‘A huge step in healing’: Why exactly is Kylie Jenner suddenly getting stem cell therapy?

Kylie Jenner revealed she’s suddenly getting stem cell therapy, and it was certainly something she’d never mentioned before. She claimed she first discovered it when her sister, Kim Kardashian, decided to go down the same route, claiming it’s been a “huge step” for her.

Basically, she decided to get the therapy, which involves stem cells being collected from a donor or the patient’s own body, which are then transplanted through a central line into the bloodstream or injected directly into the affected area, such as a joint.

In Kylie’s case, she had been dealing with “bad chronic back pain” for the last three years, ever since her last pregnancy with her only son. She said: “Nothing I tried seemed to help. Hearing how much relief Kim got gave me the confidence to look into stem cell therapy.”

 Kylie shared a couple of photos of her lower back having the stem cells transported into her body, as well as one with her lying on a hospital bed with her eyes closed. She went on to say she went to Dr Ahkan and his team at Eterna Health to help her.

She wrote: “I’m honestly so grateful for the opportunity and the resources. Everyone’s body is different, but this has been a huge step in my healing. Definitely do your research. Talk to your doctor and medical professionals, but I wanted to share in case this helps anyone.”

Kim had stem cell therapy in Mexico to treat chronic, debilitating pain from a torn shoulder injury sustained while weightlifting in 2023, and later for severe back pain. However, the type of stem cell therapy she had isn’t FDA-approved, which is why she had to leave the US.
