Regenerative treatments aim to stimulate the body to regenerate or replace cells and tissues damaged due to aging, disease, or injury instead of treating orthopedic conditions through medication and invasive surgical procedures. Such treatments include growth factors, cytokines, collagen, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), amniotic-derived materials, and cell therapy.
Because these are fast and simple treatments, they are a great alternative to surgery for certain conditions. Regenerative treatments may be a good option for foot and ankle conditions such as arthritis, bursitis, diabetic foot ulcers, venous stasis ulcers, fat pad atrophy and associated metatarsalgia, fibroma, joint pain, metatarsalgia, neuroma, nonunions, plantar fasciitis, plantar plate injury, porokeratosis, tendonitis of the foot and ankle, and wounds (chronic and post-operative).
