If you suffer from painful connective tissue problems in your feet, the podiatrists at Newtown Foot and Ankle can help. We offer amniotic stem cell therapy in Newtown, PA. Amniotic stem cell injections can be an effective treatment for patients with sprained ankles, arthritis, and tendinitis. We also treat other painful conditions, including tissue damage and ankle sprains, using stem cells. Stem cell therapy is one of the podiatry services we offer to the public in Newtown, PA.
What Can Stem Cells Treat?
One of the most common foot problems we can treat with stem cells is Achilles tendonitis. The Achilles tendon is located at the back of the foot and links the calf muscles to the heel bone. Achilles tendonitis is an inflammation of the Achilles tendon. An Achilles tear occurs when the tendon has either micro or larger breaks that cause swelling and discomfort.
The Benefits of Stem Cell Therapy in Newtown, PA
Amniotic stem cell injections provide many benefits to patients. These stem cells:
- Contain hyaluronic acid (which promotes new growth and lubricates cartilage)
- Use naturally occurring anti-inflammatory agents
- Stimulate tissue growth through growth factors
- Carry no threat of patient rejection
- Ensure no cartilage loss (may even regenerate cartilage)
- Address root causes of pain
- Provide safe treatment to patients
Amniotic fluid is highly concentrated, which makes injections more effective than other treatments.
Who Qualifies for Stem Cell Therapy?
If you suffer from foot and ankle pain and no other treatment has helped, then stem cell therapy may work for you. Most patients will try medications or physical therapy first. These traditional treatments are the typical first step that most doctors take.
However, we may suggest stem cell therapy if they do not work for you. This therapy is still a low-risk and non-invasive treatment option.
Treatment with Stem Cell Therapy in Newtown, PA
Before treatment, one of our experienced podiatrists will review your treatment options with you and take your health into account. This assessment ensures that treatment aligns with your specific health needs.
We must have an accurate diagnosis before beginning treatment. Our office will use advanced imaging and ultrasounds to locate the areas of damage in the foot and ankle. Then, we will develop a treatment plan targeting the areas that need stem cell therapy.
During treatment, we inject stem cells from your amniotic tissues into your body. This restores degenerated tissue while providing pain relief. The stem cells will divide and help build up new tissue. The entire process should take about 2 hours.
We will use local anesthetic for your comfort when and if you need it. Stem cell therapy is a safe and well-researched procedure. In addition, patient rejection is rare with this type of stem cell injection treatment.
