The reality star, 44, posted a photo to Instagram on August 8 where she shared her “stem cell journey,” saying treatment with Dr. Adeel Khan at Eterna Health helped treat her shoulder after she tore a muscle two years ago while lifting weights.
Kardashian said she was in “debilitating pain” and “tried everything to find relief.” She went on to praise Dr. Khan and stem cell therapy, claiming “the results were immediate. I regained full range of motion, and my shoulder has felt completely normal ever since.”
She shared that she returned to Dr. Khan to treat “chronic back pain,” again praising stem cell treatment for freeing her from “unbearable pain.” “If you’re struggling with back pain, I can’t recommend this treatment enough – it’s transformed my life when I thought my body was breaking down.”
However, she had to travel to Mexico for this treatment, which isn’t available in the U.S.
The cost of shoulder stem cell therapy in Mexico ranges from $4,000-$15,000, according to Global Stem Cell Therapy.
The cost of the treatment, plus travel expenses, prompted an outcry on social media from commenters.
“Hey Kim, we’re poor,” wrote one person — whose comment had more than 5 thousand likes.
“Kim, there’s people that are dying,” wrote another — a reference to sister Kourtney’s infamous cut-down of her sister after Kim began crying over a lost diamond earring in an iconic Keeping Up with the Kardashians scene.
