What injections are available for foot and ankle injuries?

A variety of injection therapies are available to treat foot and ankle injuries:

Stem Cell Therapy

This cutting-edge treatment uses stem cells to enhance tissue regeneration and repair damaged areas, promoting long-term healing for conditions such as tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, and arthritis.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections

PRP injections harness the healing power of your own blood’s platelets to accelerate tissue repair and reduce inflammation in injured ligaments, tendons, and joints.

AmnioX Injections

Derived from amniotic fluid, these injections are rich in growth factors that encourage cell repair and reduce inflammation, offering relief for chronic conditions and injuries.

Each of these therapies is minimally invasive and designed to support your body’s natural healing processes.

What conditions can foot and ankle injections treat?

Foot and ankle injections are an excellent option for individuals experiencing:

• Chronic pain from arthritis or plantar fasciitis
• Soft tissue injuries like tendonitis or ligament strains
• Acute injuries requiring accelerated recovery
• Inflammation that has not responded to other treatments

These injections are suitable for patients seeking non-surgical solutions to improve mobility, reduce discomfort, and enhance healing. After a thorough evaluation, the team at Mercer Foot and Ankle Center, LLC, determines the most appropriate injection therapy based on your condition and goals.

What can I expect during my injection treatments?

Injection treatments are performed in the office at Mercer Foot and Ankle Center, LLC. During the procedure:

1. The treatment area is cleaned and numbed to ensure minimal discomfort.
2. Using advanced imaging techniques, such as ultrasound guidance, the provider precisely administers the injection to the targeted site.
3. Patients may feel mild pressure during the procedure, which typically takes 15-30 minutes.

After the injection, patients are encouraged to follow the team’s post-treatment instructions, which may include temporary activity restrictions. Most individuals notice improvements in pain and mobility within a few weeks, with continued benefits as the treatment stimulates healing.
