Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy for
Foot and Ankle Recovery in Massachusetts
From slowing down at work, during exercise to simple everyday activities, foot and ankle injuries can take a toll on your daily life. For those seeking a ground-breaking method to relieve pain, Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy might be the solution for you. This natural, non-surgical treatment uses your body’s own healing power to help repair damaged tissue faster which helps accelerate recovery from foot and ankle injuries.
What is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy?
Your blood contains plasma and platelets—cells packed with growth factors that help your body heal. PRP Therapy is made by drawing a small sample of your blood and spinning it to concentrate these healing platelets to levels 5–10 times higher than normal.
When injected into an injured area, this concentrated PRP delivers a powerful dose of growth factors that can reduce inflammation, repair tissue, and support faster recovery. It’s a natural, non-surgical treatment that uses your own biology to promote healing.
This regenerative treatment helps athletes and non-athletes alike in healing from various injuries at a much quicker rate.
How PRP Therapy Works?
Here’s what you can expect during a typical PRP treatment at our office:
- Blood Draw: We collect a small amount of your blood, similar to a routine lab test.
- Platelet Concentration: Your blood is placed in a centrifuge that separates the platelets to create PRP.
- Targeted Injection: Using precision-guided techniques, your podiatrist injects the PRP into the injured or painful area.
- Recovery: Most appointments take less than an hour. After the procedure, your podiatrist might recommend avoiding bearing weight on the treated area for approximately two days. Depending on your specific case, you may have to wear a walking boot for 2-3 weeks.
Common Foot & Ankle Conditions PRP Can Help Treat
Plate Rich Plasma Injection is often recommended for patients dealing with persistent pain, slow-to-heal injuries, or conditions that haven’t responded to traditional treatments. It may be beneficial for people dealing with:
- Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) Injuries
- Plantar fasciitis and chronic heel pain
- Achilles tendonitis or partial tendon tears
- Ankle osteoarthritis, sprains and ligament injuries
- Sports injuries and overuse conditions
