Activate your body's natural healing process to Get Well

Your body's own platelets and regerative cells can be used to stimulate healing and speed repair.

Through advanced regenerative medicine treatments, your body’s own platelets, stem cells and growth factors can be activated to stimulate healing and speed repair for bone, muscle, joint, soft tissue, and nerve injuries.

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy

PRP injections are used to treat torn tendons, tendinitis, muscle injuries, arthritis-related pain, and joint injuries.

You may have heard about athletes getting platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections to help heal an injury. These shots, which are prepared from your own blood, are increasingly being used to treat sports injuries and to help wounds heal after surgery.

Plasma is the liquid part of your blood that’s mostly made of water and protein. It lets red and white blood cells and platelets move through your bloodstream. Platelets are a type of blood cell that makes your blood clot. They also play a role in healing.

Clinical studies show promising results with the use of PRP in Ankle and Foot care for decreasing pain, improving function, increasing activity and decreasing recovery time.

PRP is as effective as Steroid injection at achieving symptom relief at 3 and 6 months after injection, for the treatment of plantar fasciitis, but unlike Steroid, its effect does not wear off with time. At 12 months, PRP is significantly more effective than Steroid, making it better and more durable than cortisone injection.

Considering the long-term effectiveness of PRP, many doctors are now recommending the use of PRP as the preferred treatment for plantar fasciitis.

Stem cell therapy

Stem cell therapy can be a highly effective option for many people suffering from foot and ankle injuries. Here are some key points to consider:

  1. Non-invasive: Unlike surgical procedures, stem cell therapy is a non-invasive alternative that can help alleviate pain and promote healing without the need for incisions or general anesthesia.

  2. Minimal downtime: Because stem cell therapy is non-invasive, there is typically minimal downtime required following the procedure, allowing you to return to normal activities sooner.

  3. Safe and effective: Stem cell therapy has been used for many years and has a proven track record of being both safe and effective for treating a wide range of injuries and conditions, including foot and ankle injuries.

  4. Potential for long-term results: By promoting the body’s natural healing processes, stem cell therapy can provide long-term results that are not possible with traditional treatments such as pain medications or physical therapy alone.

  5. Personalized treatment: Stem cell therapy is a personalized treatment that can be tailored to your specific needs and goals, providing a more effective solution than a one-size-fits-all approach.

As such, stem cell therapy can be a highly effective alternative for people suffering from foot and ankle injuries, offering many benefits including a non-invasive procedure, minimal downtime, a safe and effective solution, the potential for long-term results, and a personalized approach. If you’re considering stem cell therapy, I would encourage you to talk to your doctor to see if it may be right for you.

What's Stem Cell

Stem cells are the body’s raw materials — cells from which all other cells with specialized functions are generated. Under the right conditions in the body or a laboratory, stem cells divide to form more cells called daughter cells.

These daughter cells become either new stem cells or specialized cells (differentiation) with a more specific function, such as blood cells, brain cells, heart muscle cells or bone cells. No other cell in the body has the natural ability to generate new cell types.

Minimally Invasive Surgery

We provide minimally invasive foot surgery to our patients for improved outcomes & healing.

Minimally invasive surgery provides the same or better results as traditional surgery, while minimizing damage to muscle, tendons and surrounding structures. Patients will benefit from decreased pain and scarring and a faster recovery from surgery.
