What is Regenerative Therapy?

Regenerative therapy is an advanced medical treatment designed to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes by using biologic injections to repair damaged tissues, reduce inflammation, and restore function. This innovative approach helps improve range of motion, flexibility, and strength while accelerating the healing of musculoskeletal injuries. Unlike traditional treatments that only mask pain, regenerative therapy supports long-term tissue repair and recovery.

What Conditions Can Regenerative Therapy Treat?

Regenerative therapy is effective for conditions such as:

  • Plantar Fasciitis
  • Achilles Tendonitis
  • Osteoarthritis
  • Joint Pain and Stiffness
  • Big Toe Joint Pain
  • Heel Pain
  • Morton’s Neuroma
  • Slow-Healing Wounds, Trauma, or Surgical Sites

Since regenerative therapy utilizes biologic materials that work with the body’s natural healing response, the risk of adverse reactions is minimal, making it a safe and effective treatment option.

How is Regenerative Therapy Administered?

The treatment involves an injection of biologic materials directly into the injured or damaged tissue. Using ultrasound guidance, we ensure precise placement for optimal healing. A local anesthetic is applied to minimize discomfort during the procedure. After the injection, patients are typically advised to rest for a few days and may take over-the-counter pain relievers if needed.

How Does Regenerative Therapy Compare to Cortisone Injections?

While cortisone injections temporarily reduce inflammation and pain, they can also weaken tissue over time and are limited in their use. In contrast, regenerative therapy supports actual tissue healing, offering long-term benefits without the degenerative effects of cortisone.

Regenerative therapy is an excellent treatment option for foot and ankle injuries, chronic pain, or degenerative conditions that have not responded to traditional treatments. It is less invasive and more cost-effective than surgery, promotes natural healing with minimal scarring, and helps reduce pain while preserving tissue health.
