Do you struggle with chronic foot pain that just won't go away despite rest and stretching? When traditional treatments fail to bring relief, regenerative medicine offers a promising path forward.
At A Step Up Podiatry, LLC in Manalapan, New Jersey, Sanjay Gandhi, DPM, and our team provide advanced care to help you regain your mobility. We offer platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections as a cutting-edge, conservative option to stimulate your body's natural healing processes.
Platelet-rich plasma is a biologic treatment that uses concentrated platelets from your own blood to accelerate tissue repair. We draw a small sample of your blood, spin it in a centrifuge to isolate the healing factors, and inject them directly into the injured area.
This therapy is especially helpful for chronic conditions that have not responded to standard physical therapy. According to the Cleveland Clinic, PRP is an adjunct therapy designed to work alongside conventional treatments rather than as a stand-alone cure.
We use platelet-rich plasma to address plantar fasciitis, chronic heel pain, talar cartilage injuries, post-traumatic ankle osteoarthritis, sports injuries, and chronic tendon issues. These six conditions often respond well to regenerative therapy when other options fail.
This painful inflammation of the tissue on the bottom of your foot can make walking difficult. In a clinical trial published by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), average pain scores for patients with this condition dropped from seven to one at 12 weeks post-injection.
Persistent discomfort in the heel often stems from chronic wear and tear that resists standard conservative treatments.
Damage to the cartilage in your ankle joint can cause deep aching and stiffness. Research from the National Institutes of Health shows that PRP injections provide a significant clinical advantage in relieving pain for talar cartilage lesions.
Wear and tear in the ankle joint after an old injury can lead to pain that limits your daily mobility.
Active individuals often experience ligament sprains or joint trauma that benefit from accelerated tissue repair.
Ongoing wear in the tendons of your foot can weaken your arch and cause persistent soreness during movement.
When you visit our office, we'll first perform a thorough evaluation to see if you're a good candidate for this therapy. The injection process is quick, performed right in our office, and requires minimal downtime so you can return to your routine quickly.
We believe in partnering with you to find the right combination of treatments for your specific needs. Whether we combine PRP with custom orthotics or physical therapy, our goal is to get you back on your feet comfortably.
You don't have to live with chronic foot pain that keeps you from the activities you love.
