PRP Therapy: A Regenerative Solution for Foot and Ankle Conditions

By Dr. Neda Arjomandi, DPM – Board Certified Podiatrist

At Laguna Woods Podiatry Group, we’re always exploring advanced, evidence-based solutions to help our patients recover from painful foot and ankle conditions. One of the most innovative options available today is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy—a non-surgical treatment that promotes natural healing using your body’s own growth factors.

What Is PRP and How Does It Work?

PRP therapy involves drawing a small sample of your blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and injecting the platelet-rich plasma into the affected area. Platelets are rich in growth factors that stimulate tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and accelerate healing.

In podiatry, PRP is especially beneficial for treating:

• Plantar fasciitis

• Achilles tendonitis

• Chronic ankle sprains

• Heel pain

• Ligament injuries

• Arthritic joints in the foot or ankle

Unlike cortisone shots, which simply reduce inflammation, PRP addresses the root cause by encouraging tissue regeneration—offering a longer-lasting, drug-free solution.

Is PRP Right for You?

PRP is a safe and minimally invasive option for patients looking to avoid surgery or who have not found relief through conventional therapies. Since the treatment uses your own blood, the risk of allergic reaction is virtually eliminated. Most patients report improvement in pain and mobility within a few weeks.
