Advanced, Non-Surgical Treatment Options
At DM Foot & Ankle, we offer regenerative medicine therapies designed to support the body’s natural healing process, from the inside out. These treatments focus on healing and helping damaged tissue recover, thus improving outcomes — often with little to no downtime.
Regenerative medicine may be an option for patients who:
- Are looking for non-surgical treatment options to help treat their condition
- Have chronic foot or ankle pain unrelieved with traditional methods
- Want to minimize recovery time and get back to feeling normal and active again
Shockwave Therapy (ESWT)
Shockwave Therapy uses focused acoustic waves to stimulate healing in injured tissue.
How it helps:
- Triggers a controlled healing response
- Promotes new blood vessel growth
- Supports collagen remodeling and tissue repair
Shockwave therapy is commonly used for conditions such as chronic plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, and other soft tissue injuries. Many patients experience meaningful symptom improvement, and in some cases, can have similar outcomes as surgery, without the downtime
Fat Pad Restoration (Liposana®)
Liposana® is a human fat graft product used to help restore lost cushioning in the foot.
May help with:
- Loss of padding and cushioning to the foot
- Ball of foot pain (metatarsalgia) and callus formation
- Heel pain related to loss of natural padding
- Post-surgical or pressure-related wounds and callus build-up
This minimally invasive treatment is designed to improve comfort during walking and standing and help to decrease callus build-up, cushion bony areas to offer relief from pressure, and in many cases, minimize the recurrence of certain types of foot wounds,
Biologic Tissue Allograft (Stem cell derivative medicine)
DPMx is a biologic tissue graft derived from human umbilical cord tissue. It is used to support the body’s natural healing response and repair and regenerate tissue.
May be considered for:
- Chronic tendon injuries
- Plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, and any tendon or ligament that has not responded to conservative care
- To improve healing and prevent scar tissue during the post-operative healing process
- Chronic joint inflammation
- nerve irritation and scar tissue formation
- Any soft tissue injury
Peptide Therapy (BPC-157)
Peptides are the building blocks of our body’s proteins and play vital roles in body functions like hormones, cell signaling, and tissue repair. BPC-157 is an oral peptide supplement that supports multiple healing pathways. It is often used alongside other regenerative therapies to improve outcomes.
Potential benefits include:
- Supporting tissue healing
- Improving circulation
- Decreasing inflammation
- Supporting recovery after injury or procedures
Redvive® Red Light Therapy
This type of medicine, Photobiomodulation Therapy, including Redvive® Red Light Therapy, uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to support cellular function.
How it may help:
- Triggers natural healing by promoting tissue repair and recovery
- Reduces inflammation along wounds and along nerves
- Supports cellular energy production by increasing cell energy and stimulating stem cell activation
- It can be used to reduce and relieve symptoms of neuropathy pain, wound healing, soft tissue recovery, and general wellness support.
Orthotics & Off-Loading Devices
Custom and prefabricated orthotics and off-loading devices are often used alongside regenerative treatments to reduce stress on healing tissue and support proper foot mechanics.
Is Regenerative Medicine Right for You?
Not every treatment is right for every patient. A thorough evaluation is needed to determine whether regenerative medicine is appropriate for your condition and goals.
