Your ankle joint is formed by the ankle bone and the ends of your two lower leg bones, and is supported by ligaments, muscles, tendons, and cartilage. Because this structure bears your entire body weight, it is prone to injury. The most common ankle problems are sprains and fractures, but you can also injure tendons and cartilage. A sprained ankle occurs when the ankle rolls underneath your foot, overstretching and damaging the ligaments that support it.
Other injuries include Achilles tendon tears, which cause sharp pain and an inability to extend the ankle; stress fractures from repeated stress or overuse; fractures of one or more bones; and arthritis that can develop after previous injuries. At Florida Regenerative, we treat all of these conditions using state‑of‑the‑art regenerative techniques.
Ankle injuries can produce a variety of signs. You may experience one or more of the following symptoms:
If any of these symptoms are present after a fall or misstep, you should seek medical evaluation. Early diagnosis is important to prevent chronic instability or arthritis.
Traditional care for ankle injuries often involves the PRICE method (protection, rest, ice, compression, and elevation), medication, and physical therapy. While these approaches manage symptoms, they may not fully repair damaged tissue.
At Florida Regenerative, we focus on healing the source of your pain using regenerative medicine. Our stem cell therapy and platelet‑rich plasma (PRP) therapy use your own cells and growth factors to promote healing, reduce inflammation, and support long‑term recovery. These therapies are minimally invasive and can offer an alternative to surgery or long‑term medication.
Stem cell therapy uses mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from ethically sourced tissues such as Wharton’s Jelly and amniotic-derived tissue. These cells are processed and injected into the injured ligament, tendon, or joint
Most patients experience decreased pain and improved mobility within a few weeks, and the benefits can be long‑lasting.
PRP therapy begins with a small blood sample, which is placed in a centrifuge to concentrate platelets. The platelet‑rich plasma contains growth factors that are injected into the injured area. PRP can:
Since PRP uses your own blood, the risk of allergic reaction is low. PRP injections can be used alone or alongside stem cell therapy to enhance healing for ligament sprains, tendon tears and chronic ankle pain.
