How can PRP injection help the foot?

Non-surgical, foot pain treatment
What is a PRP foot pain injection?
The procedure involves drawing a small amount of blood from the patient and then separating the platelets from the other blood cells using a centrifuge. Platelets are a type of blood cell that are involved in the clotting process and also contain growth factors that can stimulate tissue healing. Next, the medical provider injects the concentrated platelets back into the patient at the site of the injury or pain.

Is there any downtime?
PRP injections are generally considered to be safe, with few reported side effects. However, as with any medical procedure, there are risks involved and it’s important to discuss these with your medical provider before proceeding.
Treatment results.
PRP injections can be used in the early, mild and moderate stages where evidence supports benefit. However, it is not appropriate to have PRP treatment when the joint has severe changes.
PRP injections have been found to be more effective than hyaluronic acid and steroid injections.

Tendon tears
Microtears in the tendons of your feet can cause damage and inflammation, leading to pain and function issues.
Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis occurs when the fascia, a thick band of tissue on the bottom of the foot, begins to break down. This causes inflammation and can lead to severe, stabbing pain, particularly in the heel of the foot. This is typically caused by repetitive strain or pressure to the fascia, damaging the ligament.

Frequently Asked Questions.
Regenerative cell procedures can provide relief of chronic pain by potentially healing damaged tissue, building new tissue, reducing inflammation and preventing scar tissue from forming in the injured area.
Compared to traditional surgeries, regenerative cell procedures are extremely low risk, as the patients’ own cells are used to heal the injured areas and there are none of the risks associated with replacing joints with artificial devices There is also no need for general anesthesia to be used, so all of the risks associated with that are removed.
Cell-based orthopedic treatments can potentially help patients avoid risky, invasive and intense surgeries such as joint replacements.
Patients are able to avoid the lengthy periods of downtime and painful rehabilitation that typically follow invasive surgeries. This is an especially important factor for athletes of all levels. Regenerative Medicine patients are encouraged to move around as much as they comfortably can following the procedure, and to start physical therapy just a couple of days afterward.
Healing continues for weeks and months after the procedure, as the regenerative cells work to repair the damaged areas and improve the health of the tissues.
