Overview

  • In an Instagram post on August 8, Kardashian revealed she traveled again to Eterna Health in Mexico for Muse stem cell therapy to address years of chronic back pain.
  • She said the treatment delivered immediate relief and reminded followers it had previously restored her full range of motion after a debilitating 2023 shoulder injury.
  • Social media users criticized the therapy’s steep price—$4,000 to $15,000 per procedure plus travel—citing how inaccessible it is for most people.
  • The FDA approves only certain blood‐forming stem cell therapies in the US and global health authorities caution that unregulated pluripotent treatments carry risks such as infection, tissue rejection and tumor growth.
  • Kardashian urged followers to research thoroughly and consult medical professionals as she resumes her fitness regimen post-treatment.
