ankle treatment options

Are you in continuous pain in your ankle or foot, and over-the-counter treatments no longer work? It may be time to consider researching and learning about the treatments we have available. To get started, fill out the form below.

Regenerative medicine has made significant advancements in ankle treatment. This innovative approach promotes tissue repair and regeneration by leveraging the body's natural healing abilities. Techniques such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy and stem cell injections have shown promising results in enhancing the healing process for ankle injuries, tendonitis, and degenerative conditions.

Our specialists emphasize the importance of a thorough diagnostic process to precisely identify the root cause of ankle or foot pain. Advanced imaging technologies, including MRI and ultrasound, allow for a detailed assessment, enabling our experts to develop personalized treatment plans.

For conditions like ankle arthritis, there are surgical interventions that can provide long-term relief. Minimally invasive arthroscopic procedures, similar to those used in knee and hip surgeries, offer precise and targeted solutions, reducing recovery times and postoperative discomfort. Additionally, our physicians recognize the significance of conservative treatments. Custom orthotics, physical therapy, and lifestyle modifications are integral components of non-surgical approaches aimed at alleviating pain and improving functionality.

Among the cutting-edge treatments in regenerative medicine, PRP therapy and stem cell injections stand out as revolutionary treatments. PRP therapy involves extracting a small amount of the patient's blood, processing it to concentrate platelets, and then injecting it into the affected ankle area. These platelets contain growth factors that stimulate healing and tissue regeneration. Stem cell injections, on the other hand, utilize the patient's own cells to promote the repair and regeneration of damaged tissues in the ankle. These innovative techniques hold great promise for individuals grappling with ankle injuries, tendonitis, and degenerative conditions, offering a non-invasive yet highly effective option for recovery.

As part of our commitment to advancing ankle treatments, our specialists stay at the forefront of these regenerative approaches. By integrating such cutting-edge techniques into our comprehensive care model, we ensure that our patients have access to the latest advancements in ankle treatment, fostering quicker healing and improved outcomes.
