Regenexx procedures can offer pain reduction that patients experience due to foot and ankle injuries or pain.

Regenexx® procedures in regenerative orthopedics offer non-surgical injection-based treatments for individuals suffering from foot and ankle injuries, arthritis or other painful conditions. These procedures harness concentrated repair cells derived from the patient’s own bone marrow or blood to enhance the body’s natural healing process.

Current surgical options for common ankle injuries and arthritis include ankle arthroscopy to address damaged cartilage, ankle bone fusion in cases of cartilage loss and tendon grafts secured to strengthen weak bone connections. These procedures are often painful and may not provide lasting relief. Post-surgery, patients typically face a painful recovery period followed by extensive rehabilitation to restore ankle strength and mobility. Regenexx procedures offer a potential alternative by potentially reducing pain and improving function for individuals dealing with foot or ankle pain due to injury or arthritis, thereby avoiding the need for invasive surgeries.

Commonly treated foot and ankle conditions include but are not limited to:

  • Bunions
  • Arthritis
  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Ankle instability
  • Tarsal tunnel syndrome
  • Peroneal tendon tear or split
  • Sub-talar arthritis or instability
  • Ankle ligament sprain or tear

An Alternative to Ankle Surgery

Instead of opting for surgery and its extensive recovery process, tears in foot, ankle tendons and ligaments, along with ankle arthritis, can often be treated using healing agents derived from a patient’s body. This approach supports the body’s natural healing abilities. Regenexx procedures offer a potential solution to relieve pain and enhance functionality through a specialized, non-surgical injection procedure guided by precise imaging. Patients are typically encouraged to resume walking the same day, experiencing minimal downtime afterward.

Treatment for Ligament Tears, Sprains and Instability

When the ligaments that stabilize the ankle joint are partially torn or stretched, such as from severe or repeated minor sprains, they can become painful, loose and weakened. This alters your gait, causing painful stress on other foot joints and increasing the likelihood of future ankle sprains. This often results in chronic pain and instability.
