Ankle pain is an extremely common issue that affects people of all ages. Understanding its causes and pursuing effective treatment is key to regaining joint flexibility. While rest, ice, compression, and anti-inflammatory medication can alleviate suffering in many cases, some persistent or chronic ankle pain requires advanced care.
While most minor cases resolve with at-home care, chronic ankle pain often requires medical treatment or physical therapy. Ignoring persistent ankle pain can lead to permanent mobility loss and a reduced quality of life.
Luckily, a breakthrough treatment known as regenerative therapy offers new hope for lasting ankle pain relief right here in Quincy, IL. Regenerative therapy harnesses the body’s innate healing powers to repair damage, reduce inflammation, and relieve pain. It utilizes minimally invasive injections of the patient’s own platelets and growth factors to stimulate tissue regeneration.
Ankle pain has many possible causes including sprains, fractures, arthritis, joint pain, tendon injuries, nerve damage, gout, and infection, among others. Sprains from rolling the ankle are extremely common and happen when ligaments are overstretched. Some common causes are:
– Plantar fasciitis causes stabbing pain in the bottom of the heel, especially when taking the first steps in the morning. It is caused by inflammation of the plantar fascia ligament causing foot or heel pain.
– Achilles tendonitis leads to heel pain, stiffness, and swelling in the back of the ankle near the heel. It is caused by overuse and inflammation of the Achilles tendon.
– Sprains are tears or overstretches of ankle ligaments are often caused by rolling the ankle. They lead to immediate pain, swelling, and instability.
– Fractures are broken ankle bone injuries, usually the tibia, fibula, or talus. Symptoms include sudden severe pain and the inability to bear weight.
– Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease causing pain or swollen and stiff joints. It progresses over time and can affect both ankles.
– Osteoarthritis results from cartilage breakdown, leading to bone-on-bone rubbing. It causes progressive stiffness, swelling, and aching, especially with overuse.
Regenerative therapy can facilitate recovery and restore mobility for many common causes of ankle pain like sprains, fractures, arthritis, and tendonitis. While the injections initiate healing, orthotics, targeted exercises, and weight management further facilitate rehabilitation and help prevent repeat injuries. The outpatient procedure gets the patient back on their feet (literally) without lengthy recovery times or surgical risks.
While physical therapy exercises can help strengthen muscles around the ankle, they do not address the underlying damage causing chronic pain. Surgery may provide relief in severe cases but carries risks and prolonged recovery times.
Regenerative therapy jumpstarts the body’s natural healing process to repair damaged tissue, restore mobility, and reduce inflammation causing chronic ankle pain. Patients experience improved function within weeks without surgery’s risks.
Regenerative therapy utilizes platelet rich plasma injections to deliver a concentrated dose of the patient’s own platelets and stem cells directly to the injury site. This signals the body’s repair mechanisms to heal damaged joints, tendons, ligaments, and cartilage from the inside out.
Though regenerative injections initiate repair, orthotics, physical therapy exercises, and weight management further facilitate rehabilitation and prevention of repeat injuries.
The outpatient procedure quickly gets patients back on their feet. Within weeks, most people report progress in decreased pain, stiffness and swelling and restoring range of motion as the body mends itself. This can affect people in a positive way, and they can return to their regular activities without extensive downtime or surgical recovery.
