Stem Cell Therapy / Bone Marrow Aspirate Injections

Advanced Regenerative Treatment at Edge Podiatry

At Edge Podiatry, we offer advanced regenerative treatment options, including stem cell therapy (bone marrow aspirate injection), for patients with chronic foot and ankle pain, tendon injuries, and degenerative joint conditions.

This cutting-edge treatment is designed to support the body’s natural healing process and may help patients avoid or delay more invasive surgical procedures.

What Is Stem Cell Therapy?

Stem cells are often referred to as the body’s “master cells” because they have the ability to develop into different types of specialized tissue, including:

• Tendons

• Ligaments

• Muscle

• Cartilage

• Nerve-related tissue

This unique ability makes stem cell therapy a powerful option for injuries that are slow to heal or have not responded to traditional treatments.

How Stem Cell Treatment Works

Stem cell therapy is typically performed using bone marrow aspirate, which is collected from your own body in a sterile surgical setting. The sample is then processed to concentrate the regenerative cells and growth factors.

The prepared solution is then injected directly into the area of injury to help:

• Promote tissue repair

• Support regeneration of damaged structures

• Reduce inflammation

• Improve healing potential in chronic conditions

Because the cells come from your own body, this is considered a natural and biologic treatment option.

Conditions Treated with Stem Cell Therapy

Stem cell injections may be considered for a variety of foot and ankle conditions, including:

• Chronic tendonitis (including Achilles tendon injuries)

• Ligament sprains and chronic instability

• Arthritis of the foot and ankle joints

• Cartilage damage

• Non-healing soft tissue injuries

• Sports-related injuries

• Chronic inflammatory conditions

Benefits of Stem Cell Therapy

Potential benefits include:

• Uses your body’s own regenerative cells

• May enhance healing in difficult-to-treat conditions

• Minimally invasive compared to surgery

• May reduce pain and inflammation

• May help delay or avoid surgical intervention

• Can be part of a comprehensive treatment plan

What to Expect

Stem cell therapy is typically performed as a single injection procedure, although treatment recommendations may vary depending on the severity of the condition.

The process includes:

1. Harvesting bone marrow from your body in a sterile setting

2. Processing and concentrating regenerative cells

3. Injecting the solution into the affected area

Not all patients are candidates for stem cell therapy. In some cases, PRP therapy may be recommended as an alternative or complementary treatment option.

Important Considerations

Stem cell therapy is not appropriate for every condition or every patient. A thorough evaluation is required to determine whether this treatment is appropriate based on:

• Type and severity of injury

• Overall health status

• Treatment history

• Diagnostic imaging findings
