PRP Therapy (Platelet-Rich Plasma Injections)
Natural Healing Through Regenerative Medicine
At SoCal Foot and Ankle Doctors, with offices in Santa Monica and the Cedars-Sinai Medical Towers, we offer Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy as a cutting-edge, non-surgical treatment for a variety of chronic foot and ankle conditions. PRP uses your body’s own growth factors to accelerate healing, reduce pain, and restore function.
What Is PRP Therapy?
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is a concentrated serum derived from your own blood. It contains a high level of platelets and bioactive proteins that:
- Stimulate collagen production
- Promote soft tissue and bone healing
- Reduce inflammation
- Encourage new blood vessel growth
The process involves drawing a small amount of blood, spinning it in a centrifuge to isolate platelets, and injecting the PRP into the injured or painful area under ultrasound guidance.
Conditions Treated with PRP in the Foot & Ankle
PRP is especially effective for patients with chronic injuries or degenerative conditions who want to avoid surgery. Conditions we treat include:
???? Plantar Fasciitis & Heel Pain
???? Achilles Tendinitis or Partial Tears
???? Posterior Tibial Tendinitis
???? Ankle Ligament Injuries & Sprains
???? Peroneal Tendon Injuries
???? Arthritis in the Foot or Ankle
???? Post-Surgical Healing Support
