Non-Surgical Ankle Pain Treatment
Non-Surgical, Cell-Based Ankle Pain Treatments
Our non-surgical, cell-based treatments for ankle pain are outpatient procedures performed right in our office. These advanced cell therapies provide numerous advantages over traditional surgery, including faster recovery times, reduced pain during and after the procedure, and a significantly lower risk of complications.
By harnessing the power of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and stem cells, our innovative treatments stimulate natural tissue regeneration, enhance circulation, and reduce inflammation. These healing cells activate the body’s repair mechanisms, addressing pain and mobility issues at their source.
Most patients experience a swift return to normal activities within one to two days, with noticeable improvements often occurring within weeks. Depending on the severity of your condition, full recovery may take up to one year.
At our cutting-edge orthobiologic therapy clinics, we provide full-service regenerative medicine treatments designed to heal and restore your ankle. Using the latest technology and equipment, we harvest regenerative cells from your own tissues, such as bone marrow, fat, and blood, to promote healing at the source of your pain.
In addition to stem cell and PRP therapies, we also offer expert bracing services that can help alleviate pain and expedite tissue repair. Depending on the nature and severity of your injury, a custom-fitted brace can prevent further damage, reduce discomfort, and accelerate recovery. When appropriate, we will recommend and fit you with the optimal brace tailored to your specific needs and lifestyle.

Frequently Asked Ankle Pain Treatment Questions
Is it necessary to avoid physical activity if I’m experiencing ankle pain?
Not necessarily. It’s crucial to consult with a healthcare provider to understand the specific nature of your condition. While certain activities may need to be modified, targeted exercises and strengthening routines can often improve ankle mobility and prevent further injury. A healthcare professional can guide you on what’s best for your situation.
Can stretching and exercises help ease ankle pain caused by physical activity?
Yes, gentle stretches and exercises that focus on strengthening the ankle and increasing its range of motion can effectively alleviate activity-related pain. A physical therapist or orthopedic specialist can recommend exercises tailored to your individual needs to reduce discomfort and improve function.
Should I wear specific shoes or supportive gear while engaging in physical activity?
Wearing shoes with proper arch support and ankle stability is essential to ensuring your ankle remains stable during physical activity. Additional support, such as an ankle brace, may be recommended depending on your condition. Your healthcare provider can advise you on the best footwear or supportive equipment suited to your specific needs.
How can I prevent my ankle pain from worsening while staying active?
You can often prevent further ankle discomfort by practicing good posture, using proper technique during movement, and gradually increasing activity levels. It’s important to listen to your body, take breaks when necessary, and avoid exercises that exacerbate your pain.
Will applying ice or heat help reduce my ankle pain?
Depending on your pain type, both ice and heat can be helpful. Ice therapy effectively reduces inflammation and relieves acute pain, while heat can ease stiffness and chronic discomfort. Your healthcare provider can recommend the best approach based on the nature of your ankle pain.
How can I safeguard my ankle from further damage during activity?
To protect your ankle, avoid high-impact activities until it has fully healed. Supportive bracing and proper footwear can help stabilize the joint during physical activity. Strengthening exercises and rehabilitative routines can also help prevent further injury and promote healing.
What steps can I take to enhance healing and alleviate pain after physical activity?
Elevating your ankle after activity, getting adequate rest, and applying ice can help reduce swelling and pain. Additionally, incorporating stem cell therapy for ankle injuries and a customized rehabilitation plan can accelerate recovery and improve healing.
