Our team has been involved in the cutting edge of this minimally invasive approach to Foot and ankle wellness. We have attended the top Regenerative medicine programs and are always researching and revising our techniques. When you come to the Foot & Ankle Center of Arizona, rest assured you are in the hands of those who know Foot and Ankle the best.
After completing a comprehensive hands-on evaluation and proper evaluation with Standard radiographs and possibly a diagnostic ultrasound evaluation and/or MRI a proper diagnosis can be obtained.
In certain patients with conditions involving cartilage, tendons, and ligaments – these tissues have a limited capacity for repair and self-healing. Our team will create an individualized plan, which may integrate the healing properties in your blood (PRP-platelet-rich plasma) or utilize Amniotic proteins and nutrients. The regenerative medicine treatments to the damaged tissue are delivered under ultrasound guidance to be assured of exact placement.
The goal of these treatments is to enhance the healing process if recovery milestones are not being met or there has been a plateau in the healing process from standard treatments or possibly surgery. These treatments are generally followed by a customized rehabilitation and exercise program to maximize results and restore function.
Q: What are the risks of these treatments?
A: There are very few risks involved. You may be sore for a few days after the procedure. Infection is a possibility but is almost unheard of after these procedures.
Q: How many treatments will I require and how often will I receive them?
A: Utilizing Regenerative treatment, we will tailor the number of treatments to each patient individually. Some patients need only ONE treatment, others may require a small series of successive treatments to achieve the desired result.
The treatments have helped me tremendously. In addition to reducing the size of the fibroma (plantar), they have made the everyday pain I was living with nearly non-existent. I am able to participate in all the activities I was not able to prior to the treatments. Thank you, for all your care and treatments!
