Breakthrough Stem Cell Therapy at Foot & Ankle Centers of Frisco, Little Elm, & McKinney

Stem cell therapy is an innovative regenerative treatment that supports your body’s own ability to heal and repair damaged tissue. Stem cell therapy is an effective, nonsurgical way to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and help your body recover from injuries or surgery. Stem cells used during surgery can reduce postoperative pain, encourage healing, and reduce swelling. 

Stem cell therapy harnesses the power of stem cells — undifferentiated cells that can mimic the functions of various types of tissue throughout the body. They have the ability to grow into different types of tissues, which makes them a great tool for the healing and regeneration of the foot and ankle. When injected into damaged tissue, stem cells stimulate the body’s healing process, allowing your body to repair damaged ligaments, tendons, cartilage, and other types of tissue. 

The results of stem cell therapy can be seen in as little as a few weeks, with many of our patients reporting a significant reduction in pain, improved mobility, and restored function to their foot or ankle. Along with strengthing exercises or physical therapy, our patients are able to quickly improve their movement, strength, and balance. 

This simple, in-office procedure doesn’t require much downtime. During your exam, your podiatrist will check for tenderness, swelling, and other abnormalities to determine the best area to inject the stem cells. By inserting stem cells directly into the injured area, your body is provided with the materials it needs to repair and regenerate the damaged tissue.

After the procedure, you can comfortably return home. Most people return to their normal activities after a couple of days. Many of our patients have reported that within a few weeks, they have felt a reduction in pain and improvement in their mobility.

If you suffer from a severe or chronic foot or ankle problem, our team of podiatrists at Foot & Ankle Centers of Frisco, Little Elm, & McKinney can determine if stem cell therapy is right for you.
