Regenerative Medicine

The Benefits of Regenerative Medicine

As a leading podiatry practice, The Podiatry Center takes advantage of cutting-edge scientific advancements to provide regenerative medicine. Unlike more traditional steroid injections or surgical procedures, regenerative medicine is virtually risk-free and offers numerous healing benefits including:

No Tissue Loss – While steroid injections can cause the tissues in your joint or joints to degenerate, regenerative medicine is non-invasive and will not damage your tendons or ligaments.

No Painful Recovery – In addition to the risks that accompany any kind of surgery, you can expect a long and painful rehabilitation period following traditional surgery. Regenerative medicine, on the other hand, has little to no discomfort with a much shorter recovery time – up to three times faster than surgery!

Improved Healing – Steroid injections typically treat only your painful symptoms in an attempt to delay surgery. Regenerative medicine, on the other hand, promotes actual healing in your body. Your condition is treated, not just your symptoms, so surgery can be avoided altogether rather than simply delayed!

Safe for Diabetics – Steroid injections have the ability to significantly raise blood sugar levels in diabetics and must be avoided altogether in some patients. Regenerative medicine, on the other hand, has no such effect on blood sugar levels. Diabetics who are poor candidates for steroid injections can safely get relief with regenerative medicine.

Goals of Regenerative Medicine

• Regeneration – Boosting your body’s natural ability to heal itself back to its original state
• Restoration – Allowing for damaged tissue to return to healthy function
