REGENERATIVE MEDICINE
Regenerative medicine, coming soon
Advanced, non-surgical treatments designed to support your body's natural healing and relieve chronic foot and ankle pain.
THE NEXT STEP IN FOOT CARE
Healing without surgery
Advances in podiatric medicine continue to create new ways to treat chronic foot pain and difficult conditions. Rockville Podiatry is preparing to offer the regenerative and advanced therapies below, which focus on improving healing and reducing pain without invasive procedures. Dr. Lakner stays current with the latest technology and can help determine whether these treatments may be right for you.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy
PRP uses a concentrated portion of your own blood, rich in platelets and growth factors, which is injected into an injured area to support your body's natural healing response. It may help chronic conditions such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, and other tendon injuries that haven't improved with conservative care.
COMING SOONShockwave / EPAT Therapy
Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology (EPAT) is a form of shockwave therapy that delivers acoustic pressure waves to stimulate blood flow and healing in the treated area. This non-invasive, in-office treatment is used for chronic heel pain, plantar fasciitis, and Achilles tendinopathy, typically over a short series of sessions with no downtime.
COMING SOONDermal Filler Injections
With age, the natural fat pads that cushion the heel and ball of the foot can thin, making every step painful. Dermal filler injections restore cushioning under these pressure points to relieve pain and help protect the skin from calluses and breakdown.
COMING SOONLaser Treatment for Fungal Nails
Nail laser treatment targets the fungus beneath the nail without medication, offering an option for patients who prefer to avoid oral antifungals or haven't responded to topical treatments. Sessions are quick and done in the office, and clearer, healthier nail grows out over the following months.
COMING SOONPain & Inflammation Laser Therapy
Therapeutic lasers use specific wavelengths of light to reduce pain and inflammation and support tissue healing. This drug-free, non-invasive treatment may help with plantar fasciitis, tendonitis, arthritis, and sports injuries.
