Stem Cell and PRP Procedures for Foot and Ankle Injuries, Arthritis, Sprains, Plantar Fasciitis, and More
Pain in the foot or ankle can make every step difficult. Walking long distances, standing for work, climbing stairs, or exercising may trigger discomfort that disrupts daily life. Athletes and active individuals often find that ankle instability or recurring injuries keep them from performing at their best. Even simple activities like wearing certain shoes or standing for long periods can become a constant reminder of pain and limitation.

How Regenerative Medicine May Help Foot and Ankle Injuries, Arthritis, and Other Painful Conditions
Traditional options for ankle and foot pain often include bracing, anti-inflammatory medications, steroid injections, or surgery. While these may help in some cases, they do not always address the root cause or encourage long-term healing. Regenerative treatments such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) use your body’s own healing cells to stimulate repair. With precise, image-guided injections, these therapies deliver growth factors and regenerative cells directly into the damaged area with the goal of reducing pain, restoring strength, and improving stability.
Foot & Ankle Treatment Options at RegenOrthoSport
- Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP): Platelets from your own blood are concentrated and injected to support tissue repair and reduce inflammation in tendons, ligaments, or joints.
- Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC): Stem cells and growth factors harvested from your bone marrow are injected into the injured region to promote regeneration of cartilage, ligaments, and tendons.
Common Foot & Ankle Conditions Treated
- Ankle arthritis
- Chronic ankle instability
- Ligament injuries and sprains
- Achilles tendonitis or partial tears
- Plantar fasciitis
- Peroneal tendon injuries
- Sports-related or overuse ankle injuries
Dr. Venkatesh Movva is an internationally recognized physician in the field of regenerative orthopedics. He is fellowship-trained in Sports Medicine and board-certified in Pain Management. As the founder of RegenOrthoSport, Dr. Movva has been at the forefront of advancing regenerative treatments for orthopedics.
Why Consider Regenerative Injections Before Surgery or Steroids?
For ankle and foot pain, steroid injections may temporarily reduce inflammation but can weaken tissue with repeated use. Surgery, such as ligament reconstruction or tendon repair, can be helpful in certain cases but often involves long recovery times and potential complications. In contrast, regenerative injections with PRP or BMAC are minimally invasive and designed to promote natural healing. For many patients, these procedures may help improve stability, reduce pain, and restore mobility—potentially delaying or avoiding the need for surgery.

How Stem Cell Procedures and Platelet-Rich Plasma Injection Procedures Work
How Stem Cell Procedures Work
Stem cell injection procedures are a minimally invasive treatment designed to help the body repair orthopedic injuries and degenerative conditions. The process begins with collecting bone marrow, which contains stem cells, from the iliac crest of the pelvis. This sample is processed in a centrifuge to create bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC), which contains stem cells, growth factors, and other healing components.
Using precise ultrasound or X-ray guidance, the concentrate is injected directly into the injured or arthritic area. Once delivered, these cells release signals that reduce inflammation, encourage tissue repair, and stimulate long-term healing.
Unlike steroid injections or pain medications, which only mask symptoms, stem cell therapy attempts to target the root cause of pain. It is commonly used for arthritis, meniscus injuries, ligament sprains, and tendon damage, offering patients a potential alternative to surgery. Many experience gradual improvement in pain and mobility over the weeks to months following the procedure.
How Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Works
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) procedures are a regenerative treatment that uses your own blood to support healing in injured joints, tendons, and ligaments. The procedure begins with a blood draw, which is then placed in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate platelets. These platelets contain powerful growth factors that play a key role in tissue repair.
Once prepared, the PRP solution is precisely injected into the injured or painful area using ultrasound or X-ray guidance. The concentrated platelets release signals that stimulate natural healing, reduce inflammation, and encourage tissue regeneration.
Unlike cortisone injections, which typically provide temporary symptom relief, PRP is designed to promote long-term repair. It is often used for arthritis, tendon injuries such as tennis elbow or rotator cuff problems, ligament sprains, and sports-related conditions. Many patients experience gradual improvement in function and reduced pain over several weeks to months following treatment.
