What You Need To Know About Stem Cell Therapy
Stem cells are the main cells that can generate other specialized cells. Stem cell therapy can regenerate injured or diseased tissue by becoming specific cells, including blood or nerve cells.
Stem cell therapy can help with a variety of foot and ankle conditions, including:
- Plantar fasciitis
- Achilles tendon pain
- Ankle sprains
- Peripheral neuropathy
- Foot and ankle arthritis
- Nerve, tendon, ligament, or muscle damage
Stem cell therapy is an important alternative to surgery and other invasive treatments. Consider that stem cell therapy is:
- Natural, because stem cells are harvested from your blood
- Minimally invasive because there are no cuts or incisions
- It is easier and more comfortable because there are minimal side effects
- It is convenient because there is little to no downtime
When you visit your podiatrist, your podiatrist will complete a comprehensive examination of your foot or ankle. Imaging studies and laboratory testing may be recommended to aid in diagnosis. Your podiatrist may recommend stem cell therapy to treat your foot or ankle condition.
Stem cell therapy involves taking a blood sample and putting it through a centrifuge to separate the stem cells. These stem cells are then injected into the damaged area to regenerate and repair damaged tissue.
