Foot and ankle pain can make every step a challenge, impacting mobility, exercise, and even standing for long periods. Whether caused by plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, or ankle sprains, chronic pain in the lower extremities can severely disrupt daily life. At OrthoGen Health, we provide non-surgical regenerative medicine treatments to accelerate healing, reduce inflammation, and restore strength to the foot and ankle joints. By utilizing platelet-rich plasma (PRP), stem cell therapy, and exosome therapy, we help patients in San Jose and Los Gatos recover safely and naturally.
“Someone referred me to this place because i had a very bad knee pain which multiple other doctors i visited, told me have to have an open surgery but Dr.James told me can do PRP which is much easier and safer. I thought it worth trying it. After almost 2 years, i still have no pain and i got back to normal life. I am so glad listen to Dr, James and for your info i think he has one of the highest certificates that only a few doctors in the US have it.
He is so kind and acknowledgeable and i definitely recommend anyone who has joint pain before letting others to have any open surgeries which obviously they want nothing but making money.Thanks you for making the life enjoyable for me again.”
Why Does Foot & Ankle Pain Develop?
The foot and ankle endure tremendous stress, carrying the body’s weight with every movement. This can lead to conditions such as:
Plantar Fasciitis
Inflammation of the thick band of tissue (plantar fascia) that runs along the bottom of the foot, causing heel pain
Achilles Tendonitis
Overuse injury leading to swelling and pain in the Achilles tendon, often aggravated by walking or running
Ankle Sprains
Ligament injuries caused by sudden twists or rolls of the ankle, leading to pain, instability, and swelling
Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome
Compression of the tibial nerve, resulting in tingling, burning, or numbness in the foot
Arthritis of the Foot & Ankle
Joint degeneration leading to stiffness, pain, and difficulty bearing weight
Stress Fractures
Small cracks in bones due to repetitive impact, common in athletes and active individuals
Regenerative Medicine: A Safe & Effective Approach
Traditional foot and ankle treatments often involve rest, orthotics, pain medications, or even surgery. Regenerative medicine offers a different path by using the body’s own healing abilities to repair damaged tissue and restore function naturally.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
Injects concentrated growth factors to speed up tissue repair and reduce inflammation
Stem Cell Therapy
Supports long-term joint and tendon healing by stimulating new cell growth
Exosome Therapy
Enhances cellular regeneration and communication to accelerate pain relief and recovery
Studies have shown that PRP therapy can significantly reduce plantar fasciitis pain and improve function, with 80% of patients experiencing long-term relief. Similarly, stem cell therapy has demonstrated improvements in Achilles tendon injuries, reducing pain and increasing mobility.
