Regenerative Medicine Injections
In recent years, regenerative medicine has become a promising option for treating various foot and ankle conditions. Whether you’re an athlete dealing with a chronic tendon injury or someone experiencing arthritis, regenerative medicine injections might offer a solution that goes beyond traditional treatments.
What is Regenerative Medicine?
Regenerative medicine focuses on repairing or replacing damaged tissues in the body. Rather than simply managing symptoms, regenerative therapies aim to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. In the context of foot and ankle injuries, regenerative medicine often involves injecting biological substances into the affected area to encourage tissue repair, reduce inflammation and pain, and promote recovery.
Common types of regenerative medicine injections include:
- Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP): made by drawing a small amount of your blood and processing it to concentrate the platelets, which contain growth factors that support tissue healing
- Stem Cell Therapy: Stem cells, often derived from a patient’s own bone marrow or fat tissue, have the potential to transform into various types of cells needed for tissue repair
- Amniotic Fluid Injections: Amniotic fluid products are derived from donors and contain growth factors and proteins that may support tissue healing and reduce inflammation
Conditions Treated by Regenerative Medicine in the Foot and Ankle
- Plantar Fasciitis
- Achilles Tendonitis and Tendon Tears
- Arthritis
- Ligament Injuries
- Plantar Fibromas
What to Expect After the Injection
Many patients report feeling minimal discomfort during the procedure, as the injections are usually guided carefully and performed with minimal invasiveness. Afterward, you may experience some swelling, soreness, or mild discomfort in the treated area. These side effects typically subside within a few days to a week.
Healing time varies, but patients often notice an improvement in pain and function within several weeks. However, regenerative treatments are not a quick fix and might require follow-up injections or additional therapies for the best results.

"Dr Gifford and her team are communicative, caring and highly capable."
Dr. Gifford and her team are amazing and I recommend Dr. Gifford without hesitation. She provided me with multiple options to address Achilles issues. I ultimately needed surgery and the results have allowed me to walk without pain and return to activities I had been missing. My incision site is imperceptible. Dr Gifford and her team are communicative, caring and highly capable.- Carrie D. -
"They do excellent work and care about their patients."
Going to performance foot and ankle. It's like going to your salon or Barber. Once you find a good stylus, you won't leave them. Doctor Patel and his staff are like that. My dad has been going to them for years he's 102 years old. They do excellent work and care about their patients.- Verby N. -
"I highly recommend!"
Dr. Patel and his staff were absolutely incredible! I was having issues with my foot for about 5 years and I had been to numerous doctors without success. Then I met Dr. Patel and I’m happy to report that my issue is now solved! So thankful and could not be happier. Everyone here is super nice, down to earth and they genuinely care about you, the patient, which was super important to me. I was very impressed with how they go about their business and I highly recommend!- Matthew D. -
"I highly recommend this place!"
The process was smooth and efficient from the start. After filling out "contact us" form on their website, I received a call within 30 minutes to set up my appointment. The staff was incredibly helpful and welcoming. When I arrived, I handed them the printed form, and I was seen almost immediately. Dr. Patel was fantastic—he took the time to listen to all my concerns, identified the cause of my issue, and provided a clear solution. He even showed me at-home remedies and offered tips on how to prevent the problem in the future, without making me feel pressured to buy any treatment products. He went above and beyond in his care. Overall, a great experience!- Emma -
"Can't thank her enough"
Dr. Gifford was very knowledgeable with explaining the cause of my heel pain and gave me a painless injection. She was very friendly and took her time with answering all my questions. Can't thank her enough because I'm back to my normal workout routine without any pain!- Ryan G. -
"This is what medical care should be!"
Excellent customer service, and thorough care. Dr. Patel was down-to-earth, knowledgeable, and skilled (my kind of doc). The office was clean, and well-run. Billing was smooth as well without any of the hiccups you get at other offices. This is what medical care should be!- Ashutosh S.
