What is Plantar Fasciitis?

• Plantar fasciitis is a painful and debilitating
  condition.
• It primarily affects athletes, people whose jobs
  require them to stand for long periods of time.
• And those who put heavy stress on their feet.
• It involves inflammation of the plantar fascia,
  the strands of connective tissue that run along
  the sole of the foot, linking the heel of the
  foot to the ball and toes.
• The plantar fascia protects and relieves pressure
  from the bottom of your foot because it acts like
  a shock-absorbing bowstring.
• However, it can tear due to repetitive tension
  and stress. When it is stretched and torn, it
  becomes inflamed, resulting in plantar fasciitis.

• The inflammation can be caused by trauma from an
  injury, or from overuse of the tissue.
• It usually manifests as sharp pain in the heel or
  sole of the foot and an inability to point the
  toes upward.
• If left untreated, it can lead to other and more
  severe orthopaedic conditions in the foot, shin,
  and knee.

How can Regenerative Therapy be used in Plantar
fasciitis treatment?

• Traditional treatment for plantar fasciitis often
  required a combination of orthopaedic foot
  supports, physical therapy, and cortisone
  injections.
• Most people recover completely within a year. In
  extreme cases, surgery is used to release the
  tension on the plantar fascia.
• However, the best way to actually heal the injury
  and provide long-lasting improvement is through
  orthobiologic Regenerative treatments such as
  Prolotherapy and Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP).
• For actual tears in the plantar fascia,
  mesenchymal cell treatment may also be a viable
  option.
• These treatments aim to stimulate the connective
  tissues ability to heal and regenerate the torn
  plantar fascia.

How can Regenerative Therapy be used in Plantar
fasciitis treatment?

• This can permanently provide pain relief and
  prevent further damage as you continue to enjoy
  your daily physical activities.
• These orthobiologic injections for plantar
  fasciitis often work better than the traditional
  cortisone shots, since they not only soothe the
  pain but can also promote regeneration of
  damaged tissue.
• Repeated cortisone shots can actually lead to
  further damage to the affected tendons, but the
  same is not true of stem cell-based therapy.

Prolotherapy

• Prolotherapy is a non-surgical treatment that
  involves targeted injections.
• The solution used in this treatment contains a
  local anaesthetic and concentrated dextrose
  (steroids are not used).
• This procedure stimulates the tissues natural
  ability to repair.
• Afterwards, this may be followed by a stem cell
  treatment to aid in regeneration.

Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy

• There is another non-surgical treatment for
  plantar fasciitis which involves platelet-rich
  plasma. This stimulates the tissue to release
  growth factors and attract other cells.
• This is especially useful for helping stem cells
  concentrate on the damaged area of the connective
  tissue.
• It is an autologous procedure where the platelets
  are harvested from the patients own blood. After
  separating the platelets in a centrifuge, it is
  injected into the source of pain or point of
  injury.
• The key is to provide the treatments to not only
  the Plantar Fasciitis, but also the ankle when
  necessary. If you had a previous ankle injury, it
  is essential to heal both injuries to the point
  where the foot can return to normal, healthy
  function. That is the path to returning to all of
  the activities you enjoy that depend on a strong,
  painless foot and ankle.

When do I See Results?

• Regenerative therapy for plantar fasciitis only
  takes a few hours to complete.
• It is performed in an outpatient setting, no
  general anaesthesia is required and most patients
  dont need post-operative pain medication.
• Patients will be able to go home almost
  immediately after the injection is done.
• Since this therapy is an orthobiological
  treatment that requires time for the cells to
  restore the damaged areas in the foot, patients
  will not feel the effect of the injection
  immediately.
• On average, most patients will start to see signs
  of improvement in the form of reduced pain or
  increased function within 30 days.

Is this Plantar Fasciitis Treatment Safe?

• Regenerative Therapy for plantar fasciitis is a
  safe alternative to surgery and other traditional
  plantar fasciitis treatments.
• Since we only use Cells and PRP that were
  harvested from the same patient, the risk of
  infections or rejection is virtually non-existent.

Am I a Candidate for Regenerative therapy?

• In general, Regenerative Therapy can be utilised
  by anyone, regardless of the age, race, or
  gender.
• However, in order to determine if you are a good
  candidate and will benefit the most from this
  treatment, you will need to schedule an
  appointment with our Clinic to have assessment
  done by our Consultant, who will review your
  medical records and determine if you are a
  qualified candidate for our therapy.
• The choice of treatment is then at the discretion
  of the Consultant and is based on your unique
  case.
• Regenerative Therapy is not suitable for all
  conditions and all patients.
• Only the doctor will be able to advise if you are
  a suitable candidate.
• The final outcome of the treatment and extent of
  improvement varies from one patient to another.
