A Therapeutic Game Changer

Do you ever find yourself looking at your feet and ankles, longing for the strength and elasticity your ligaments and tendons had when you were a kid? Trust us you’re not alone! As grateful as we are for living in the present day, sometimes you can’t help but envy what your ligaments and tendons used to be. As we age, we become more vulnerable to developing conditions like plantar fasciitis and tendinitis. These conditions can cause pain and discomfort from swelling, inflammation.

In cases where a condition like ligament and tendon tears, plantar fasciitis and achilles tendinitis have become chronic, innovative treatments can change the game. At Tri County Foot & Ankle Center, a wide range of treatments and services offer hope to those suffering from chronic pain, such as Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy. As a newer treatment method, Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy utilizes the body's own growth factors to stimulate the healing of soft tissue conditions. The process involves taking a small amount of your blood Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy promotes faster and more complete healing required to relieve chronic issues like plantar fasciitis and tendonitis. You can repeat your PRP session every two weeks, and most people need no more than three injections. If it’s done in conjunction with surgery, you’ll usually only have one PRP injection.

We also use PRP for quicker and more complete healing of diabetic wounds.

When compared to other treatment methods for related foot and ankle conditions, Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy offers a uniquely non-invasive alternative to traditional treatment methods. In many cases, issues like plantar fasciitis or weakened ankles can be offered pain relief from cortisone shots and anti-inflammatory drugs, but the pain relief from these methods are only temporary and sometimes produce undesirable side effects. PRP promotes quicker and more complete healing with minimal down-time that allows our patients to resume their normal activities sooner.
