PRP or Platelet Rich Plasma is a regenerative therapy that uses the patient's own concentrated platelets to speed up healing of foot and ankle injuries.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy for Foot & Ankle Conditions
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a regenerative treatment that uses a concentrated portion of your own blood to promote healing in injured or painful areas of the foot and ankle. PRP is rich in platelets, growth factors, and bioactive proteins that help accelerate tissue repair and reduce inflammation.
During the procedure, a small amount of blood is drawn and spun in a centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich plasma. This concentrated solution is then injected directly into the affected area to stimulate the body’s natural healing response.
How It Works:
• Delivers a high concentration of growth factors to the injured tissue
• Stimulates cellular repair and regeneration
• Enhances collagen production for stronger tendon and ligament healing
• Reduces inflammation and pain
Common Uses in Foot & Ankle:
• Plantar Fasciitis
• Achilles Tendinitis
• Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction
• Ankle Sprains
• Osteoarthritis
Benefits:
• Uses your body’s own natural healing components (autologous)
• Minimally invasive, in-office procedure
• Low risk of reaction or rejection
• Helps avoid or delay surgery
• Gradual, long-lasting improvement over time
PRP therapy is an effective option for patients looking to heal naturally, reduce pain, and restore function without more invasive treatments.
