What is regenerative medicine?

Regenerative medicine uses amniotic injections to stimulate new cell growth, which is a natural way to help your body heal from an injury. Your Montgomery Podiatry specialist injects these healing substances into injured tissues without requiring invasive procedures or significant downtime.

You might be a candidate for regenerative medicine instead of foot and ankle surgery or after surgery to promote faster healing.

What conditions might regenerative medicine help?

Regenerative medicine at Montgomery Podiatry may be a good option if you struggle with:

• Foot or ankle pain
• Fractures
• Tendonitis
• Achilles tendonitis
• Muscle, ligament, or cartilage injuries
• Strains or sprains
• Other sports injuries
• Injuries due to accidents or falls
• Decreased range of motion
• Limited mobility
• Plantar fasciitis
• Arthritis 
• Osteoporosis 

Signs of a foot or ankle injury include swelling, stiffness, bruising, redness, warmth, or visible tissue damage to your feet or ankles.

Is regenerative medicine right for me?

To find out if you’re a candidate for regenerative medicine, the Montgomery Podiatry team reviews your medical history, symptoms, and lifestyle. They examine your feet and ankles and may recommend blood tests, joint fluid testing, X-rays, or other imaging procedures.

They tailor a treatment personalized to your needs that may include medications, physical therapy, ice, rest, compression, elevation, or other highly effective options in addition to regenerative medicine.

What should I expect during regenerative medicine procedures?

During regenerative medicine treatment at Montgomery Podiatry, your specialist uses donated amniotic fluid that’s been tested for safety, quality, and purity. They gently inject it into injured or painful tissues.

They first numb the treatment area to avoid discomfort, and may use imaging guidance to ensure superior needle placement during injections.

Your specialist might inject amniotic cells into more than one area during the same procedure. They often recommend a series of injections over time to ensure outstanding regenerative results. 

What happens after my treatment?

After regenerative medicine treatments, you can expect tenderness, redness, and swelling at the injection sites. Over time as new cells and tissues form, you can expect reduced pain, faster healing, and improvements in musculoskeletal structure and function.
