Ankle Pain Relief in Richmond VA
What causes ankle pain? Ankle pain can be caused by a number of different situations or conditions that affect ligaments, tendons, and bones. Some of the most common ankle pain causes include fractures, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis or rupture, sprains, bursitis, and arthritis. At our medical clinic in Richmond, VA, we use platelet‒rich plasma to treat ankle pain without the need for drugs or surgery so you can regain your mobility and get back to doing all the things you love without limitation.
Ankle Pain Relief
The key to long-term ankle pain relief is treating the underlying cause of the pain and not just treating the outward symptoms. Quite often, conventional medicine uses pain medication to mask the symptoms, so you no longer feel the pain.
The problem with this approach is that the pain is just a byproduct of what is really going on under the surface. Medication may relieve the discomfort, but it is only temporary and will never offer a lasting solution. Our treatments will target the cause, so there is no reason for the pain to be there at all.
Some of the symptoms of a damaged ankle include:
- Pain, especially when you put weight on your foot
- Inflammation
- Tenderness when touched
- Instability when standing or walking
- Bruising
- Decreased range of motion
Natural Pain Relief with PRP Therapy
PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, therapy is used to help repair damaged tissue, tendons, and ligaments in the ankle. The process begins by a simple blood draw. The blood sample is the spun rapidly in a centrifuge to separate the healing platelets from the rest of the blood. The platelets are then loaded into a syringe and then reinjected into the area of damage. The concentrated plasma solution jump starts the healing process for quick and effective pain relief.
