What is regenerative medicine?

Regenerative medicine is a cutting-edge field that aims to restore, repair, or replace damaged cells or tissues in order to re-establish normal function. The goal is to stimulate the body’s natural healing abilities, reduce pain, and avoid major surgery whenever possible.

At Prestige Ankle & Foot Care, we offer innovative regenerative treatments to support your healing journey, including:

Wharton’s Jelly Injections
Wharton’s Jelly is a rich source of mesenchymal cells, collagen, fibronectin, chondroitin sulfate, hyaluronic acid, cytokines, and proteoglycans. Sourced from healthy, donated human birth tissue, Wharton’s Jelly injections help promote tissue repair and reduce inflammation.

Conditions Treated with Wharton’s Jelly Injections:

Plantar Fasciitis:
A common cause of heel pain, plantar fasciitis occurs when the thick band of tissue that supports the arch of your foot becomes inflamed. Wharton’s Jelly injections can help reduce inflammation and promote healing of this tissue, alleviating pain and restoring normal function.

Tendinitis:
Tendinitis is inflammation or irritation of a tendon, often due to overuse or injury. Wharton’s Jelly injections deliver regenerative growth factors and supportive cells directly to the damaged tendon, accelerating the body’s natural healing processes.

Arthritis:
Arthritis in the foot or ankle causes joint pain, swelling, and stiffness. Wharton’s Jelly injections can help slow down degeneration and stimulate tissue repair, providing relief from arthritis-related discomfort and improving joint mobility.

Sprains:
A sprain occurs when ligaments supporting the foot or ankle are stretched or torn. Wharton’s Jelly injections introduce healing cells and growth factors that help repair ligament damage, reduce inflammation, and improve stability.

Partial Ruptures:
Partial ruptures involve tears in tendons or ligaments that don’t fully sever the tissue but still impair function and cause pain. Wharton’s Jelly injections offer regenerative support to these partially torn structures, enhancing healing and preventing further damage.

Liposana Allograft
Liposana is a natural tissue product derived from human fat tissue, which is minimally processed to preserve the natural qualities, providing a supportive framework to help repair or rebuild damaged tissue in the foot. It is sourced from healthy donor fat tissue, processed in an FDA-registered and AATB-certified facility adhering to the highest safety and quality standards.

Uses for Liposana in Lower Extremity Care:

Fat Pad Atrophy/Loss:
This condition occurs when the natural cushioning in the ball or heel of the foot diminishes over time, leading to increased pressure and pain with each step. Liposana helps restore the natural fat pad, providing crucial support and comfort.

Metatarsalgia:
A condition causing pain and inflammation in the ball of the foot, often due to overuse or loss of natural cushioning. Liposana’s regenerative properties help restore fat padding and reduce pressure on the metatarsal bones.

Diabetic Foot Ulcers:
Open sores that develop on the feet of individuals with diabetes, often due to poor circulation and nerve damage. Liposana offers a natural solution which provides a supportive framework that helps repair or rebuild damaged tissues in the foot.

Pressure Ulcers:
Also known as bedsores, these are skin and tissue injuries caused by prolonged pressure, usually in individuals with limited mobility. Liposana helps restore the damaged protective fat layer and restore the protective cushioning in the area.

Each donation undergoes comprehensive screening, including:

  • Detailed medical history review
  • Comprehensive communicable disease testing
  • Strict microbiological evaluations

Important Note:
Regenerative medicine treatments are not covered by insurance; however, we offer financing options to help you invest in your health and comfort.
