Foot and ankle injuries are a part of life, everyone from the elderly to fitness enthusiasts suffer from some form of pain eventually. Many of these injuries can be treated with non-invasive regenerative methods such as MFAT and Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy.
When the ligaments which hold the bones of the ankle joint together are partially torn or stretched, for example when you badly sprain your ankle, they become painful, loose and weak. This changes how you walk and puts stress on other joints of the foot.
Ankle sprains and injuries which aren’t too severe can be treated with PRP therapy which will heal damaged tissues and tighten the loose ligaments.
