What Is Regenerative Medicine?

Regenerative medicine utilizes treatment methods that use your body’s natural healing processes to repair damaged, dysfunctional or injured tissue. It is also used to reduce inflammation and restore function.

Unlike traditional treatments that may mask symptoms with medications (such as Cortisone injections or oral anti-inflammatories), regenerative medicine works on the underlying causes of pain. This approach is particularly beneficial for those dealing with long-term, degenerative conditions who wish to avoid surgery. It is a minimally invasive option that encourages long-term healing, minimizing risks and downtime for patients.

Why Choose Regenerative Therapy?

Regenerative Medicine options offer a non-surgical alternative for treating a variety of chronic conditions including Plantar fasciitis, Muscle and Tendon injuries, Arthritic Joints, Calluses caused by Fat Pad Atrophy, and much more. These treatment can often reduce the need for invasive surgery by working to promote tissue repair and healing.

Different from traditional medicine treatments, regenerative therapies focus on tissue repair by enhancing the body’s ability to heal itself. They will help in achieving lasting results and have long term benefits. These treatments are used to reduce pain, restore strength and function, and return to activities quicker. These non-surgical approaches eliminate prolonged rehab or recovery.

Conditions Treated With Regenerative Medicine

• Arthritis causing foot and ankle joint pain: Our treatments can provide relief and improve mobility.
• Foot and ankle injuries, partial ruptures, Tendonitis: We treat soft tissue injuries that may not respond well to conventional therapies, helping to restore strength and function.
• Inflammation: For those dealing with chronic inflammation ranging from Plantar Fasciitis to Neuromas, regenerative medicine offers a way to reduce pain and improve foot health without the need for surgery.
• Fat Pad Atrophy: There are several conditions that can accelerate the breakdown of fat pads on the bottom of your feet. When these conditions develop, fat pad atrophy can occur as well. Fat pad restoration can aid in the treatment of other foot conditions by enhancing comfort and restoring your ability to move.

Fat Pad Atrophy

Feel like you’re walking on a rock? Do you feel as if you have NO padding on the bottom of your foot? As we age, the body’s natural fat on the bottom of the foot either shifts forward (feeling like “bunched up socks under the toes”) or is lost completely. This is fat pad atrophy occurring which causes pain while walking or participating in activities. This is a common reason women have pain wearing high heels or patients have difficulty walking barefoot. This condition can also occur in the heel where there is atrophy of the fat cushion, sometimes mistaken for plantar fasciitis. There is a loss of shock absorption or burning pain when you walk.

These are some conditions that can cause Fat Pad Atrophy:

• Bunions/Bunionettes
• Hammertoes
• Corns/Calluses
• Neuromas
• Cortisone injections
• Metatarsalgia
• Plantar Fasciitis
• Smoking
• Diabetic Wounds
• Pressure Sores
• High arched feet

At Goldberg Podiatry Center, we are providing treatment utilizing Liposana, a natural tissue product derived from human fat tissue, donated by healthy individuals through a strictly regulated process. This treatment will help repair or rebuild damaged tissue in the foot so you can move with greater comfort. The benefit of utilizing this product is such that it provides the structured support of fat to reinforce areas weakened by wear and tear. It contains proteins and growth factors that work with your body to promote tissue repair. This type of regenerative injection is a non-surgical approach to help your body heal from within.
