Avoid Ankle Surgery with Regenexx

Damage to the Achilles tendon is the most common form of tendon damage and typically results from acute injury or overuse often as a result of athletics. When the Achilles tendon tears, the recommended course of treatment is a risky surgery with a > 10% complication rate. Because of the invasive nature of this surgery, recovery is lengthy, and a recent study suggests that it is no more effective than immobilizing and bracing the ankle for a few weeks.

During this outpatient procedure, our expert physicians use precise image guidance to inject custom concentrations of your body’s natural healing agents into the exact areas of damage to promote repair of strain and tears to the Achilles tendon. Best of all, your downtime will be a fraction of surgery, with little to no need for opioid pain medications or time off work. Call our patient care coordinators today to get started on your path to recovery.
