STEM CELL THERAPY FOR FOOT AND ANKLE

Stem cell treatments use the body's own regenerative cells—or donor tissue containing growth factors—to promote healing and repair of damaged tissue.

How stem cell therapy works:

  • Stem cells have the unique ability to develop into many different cell types
  • When injected into damaged tissue, they promote repair and regeneration
  • Growth factors in the treatment stimulate your body's natural healing cascade

CONDITIONS TREATED WITH STEM CELL THERAPY

Stem cell injections are used in the care of conditions such as:

  • Achilles tendon injuries
  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Ankle arthritis
  • Chronic ligament injuries
  • Non-healing fractures
  • Tendon degeneration

THE TREATMENT PROCESS

Stem cell treatment at Bends Foot and Ankle is an office-based procedure:

  • Evaluation: Comprehensive assessment to determine if stem cell therapy is appropriate
  • Procedure: The injection is performed under ultrasound guidance for precision (approximately 30-45 minutes)
  • Recovery: Light activity for 1-2 weeks, then gradual return to full activity
  • Follow-up: Regular monitoring to track your progress
