Regenerative Medicine: Helping To Relieve Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis is the leading cause of heel pain. The plantar fascia is a long, fibrous tendon that runs along the bottom of your foot from your heel bone to your toes. When this tendon becomes inflamed it can cause intense heel pain. Those who experience plantar fasciitis typically feel sharp, stabbing pains early in the morning that sometimes mellows during the day but it can return after hours of walking, stretching, exercising, or standing. While the exact causes of plantar fasciitis is not always clear, the tendon can become inflamed due to repetitive stretching and tearing. Age, overuse, and activities like running, jumping, and dancing are common causes of plantar fascia tears and inflammation. Those who are overweight may also be more prone to developing plantar fasciitis as the extra pounds can stress the tendon.
Many people are able to heal mild plantar fasciitis at home with RICE (rest, ice, compression, elevation) and physical therapy. There are many cases of plantar fasciitis that turn chronic, however, and ignoring it can lead to further damage to your foot, heel, and leg. Patients that ignore chronic plantar fasciitis pain often change the way they walk to lessen the pain which can lead to misalignment of the body, poor balance, and pain in the muscles and joints of the foot, leg, and hip. For those who experience chronic pain, there are a few therapies available for treatment, including shock wave therapy, surgery, and bracing. None of these therapies have very positive outcomes, unfortunately. In recent years, regenerative medicine using stem cells has been used to address plantar fasciitis and results have been overwhelmingly positive. Unlike the common pain clinic model, our doctors in Richmond utilize regenerative medicine using stem cells to assist the body's natural ability to heal damaged tissues.
Alternative Medicine for Plantar Fasciitis
At Chronic Care of Richmond, you can access this innovative therapy in Richmond. We use mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) that are derived from human full-term umbilical cords, as this option is the safest and least invasive. We source our tissue and cell products from screened donors and all of our samples are stored in FDA registered labs. Our procedure is a non-invasive, drug free procedure that utilizes MSCs to address the chronic pain and inflammation associated with plantar fasciitis and other chronic inflammatory issues. Instead of surgeries that remove healthy but damaged tissue, regenerative medicine works to assist the body’s natural ability to heal damaged tissues. If you suffer from chronic plantar fasciitis and are seeking an alternative to surgery or shock wave therapy, our regenerative medicine that utilizes stem cells may benefit you. If you believe that this can benefit you or a loved one, request more information by filling out the form on this page, or register for our informational seminar in Richmond.
