Under certain conditions, foot and ankle pain can be immobilizing and overwhelming, to say the least. The feet and ankles have the incredible task of bearing all of our weight, keeping us balanced, all while being mobile enough to enable us to move around. Injuries to the feet and ankles can occur from wear and tear over time as well as due to traumatic events. People who suffer from forms of osteoarthritis may have their mobility severely impaired, which in turn can significantly reduce their quality of life as they are no longer able to enjoy life to its fullest.

The professionals at Stem Cellutions have years of expertise administering stem cell therapy for a range of joint conditions and pain management. Previously Foot and Ankle pain treatments were limited to steroid injections, physical therapy, or partial replacement surgery. Stem Cell therapy provides a promising non-surgical option.

Stem Cell Foot and Ankle Therapy Explained

Think of stem cells as unprogrammed cells, awaiting instruction for what type of cell they will function as. Cells tend to follow gene mapping and adapt to the function of the surrounding cells. When stem cells are injected into injury sites, that is the intended purpose, to provide your body with fresh, unprogrammed cells, so that it has the potential building blocks to repair damaged tissue. Stem cells are extracted from natural sources that are familiar to the human body, for example, taken from bone marrow. So you can consider stem cell therapy as a simple relocation of resources. Taking resources from a place of abundance, and placing them directly in an area of need!

By injecting stem cells in a minimally invasive way, the inflammation in the joint can decrease and alleviate a significant amount of pain and restore your mobility. Once the stem cells have been introduced into the foot and ankle region, they can be assigned a dedicated function by the body and begin assisting in stopping or reversing cellular damage. As tissues in the area begin to regenerate, the joint will begin to function normally, meaning that your pain will significantly subside.
