The practice of Regenerative Podiatry uses therapies to harness the body's own healing mechanisms to help repair damaged tissue in the foot and ankle regions, with the goal of reducing pain, and speeding up healing and avoid surgery.

Regenerative Podiatry

It is a branch of regenerative medicine that offers treatments for conditions like plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, and arthritis. It is also used to increase healing following injuries like ankle sprains, tendon injuries and fractures. These therapies include:

(PRP) Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy: Concentrated platelets from a patient's own blood are injected into the affected area to promote healing and reduce inflammation. 

Amniotic Injection Therapy: Injections of amniotic tissue, rich in growth factors, are used to reduce inflammation and pain, and promote tissue growth

Class IV Laser Therapy: A non-invasive treatment that uses light energy to penetrate tissue and accelerate cellular healing, with effects that are anti-inflammatory and can reduce swelling. 

(ESWT) Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy: Uses sound waves to treat chronic conditions like plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendinitis, accelerating the body's natural healing process.
