As we age, joint pain can become a more frequent occurrence and may limit our ability to perform daily activities such as walking or running errands. If you are experiencing chronic or periodic pain in your foot and ankle due to arthritis, past injuries, or other causes, NeoGenix’s stem cell therapy may provide a solution. Foot and ankle injuries can be frustrating, and if traditional treatments have not provided relief, stem cell therapy offers a low-risk and non-invasive alternative for treatment.

You might be surprised to find out how many different foot conditions we treat in Lake Norman, plus ankle conditions, with regenerative therapies like PRP and stem cell therapy.

Why are people choosing stem cell therapy over surgery?

• • Quicker and easier recovery with no downtime
  • Out-patient procedure with a local anesthetic only
  • Complications are extremely unlikely

Why Choose Stem Cells for Foot & Ankle Pain

Were you aware that around 25,000 people sprain their ankle daily? An ankle sprain can occur easily during sports or everyday activities when the ankle twists or rotates inward or outward. Mild sprains can be treated with rest or ice. However, sometimes even apparently minor injuries may not heal as expected.

Stem cell therapy may be a suitable solution for a persistent ankle injury. Over time, the foot and ankle experience a lot of wear and tear, accumulating small injuries that can lead to more significant issues, such as osteoarthritis or degenerative joint disease. As most people rely heavily on their feet to get around, they often don’t get the recovery time they require. Regardless of the cause of your foot and ankle pain, seek advice from the experts at NeoGenix Stem Cells.

An Alternative to Foot or Ankle Surgery

Foot and ankle pain can be caused by various factors, and it is often challenging to pinpoint a single cause. It could result from direct trauma, overuse, repetitive motion, or even an underlying medical condition. At NeoGenix Stem Cell and Regenerative Therapies, we frequently encounter the following common causes of foot and ankle pain:

• Tendonitis of the Achilles
• Arthritis
• General instability of the ankle (could be because of a past surgery or injury)
• Bunions
• Injury directly to the area
• Tendon or Ligament injury
• Plantar fasciitis
• Tarsal tunnel syndrome

Many of the patients who have undergone stem cell treatments for foot and ankle pain have found this minimally invasive procedure to be an excellent alternative to foot surgery or ankle surgery.
