The ankle is a critical joint and consists of cartilage, tendons, ligaments and muscles. This delicate design combined with the daily stress from walking, running and lifting makes the ankle a highly injury prone area. Ankle sprains comprise 85% of all ankle pain cases, but there are other causes, such as Rheumatoid Arthritis, Tendinitis, Osteoarthritis and Gout. Swelling, numbness, tingling, burning and weakness often accompany ankle pain. Being overweight and not stretching out properly before exercise can exacerbate the risk of ankle injury.
platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy
biologics (amniotic fluid / Wharton's jelly)
stem cell therapy
Researchers are starting to pin down issues and what is causing the damage.
The cells discovered in Wharton’s Jelly have several multi-potent stem cell genes and can heal various parts of the body.
With a goal of developing rheumatoid arthritis therapies with minimal side effects, researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have genetically engineered cells that, when implanted in mice, will deliver a biologic drug in response to inflammation.
Hormone Therapy is recommended for people who experience perimenopause with symptoms that negatively affect quality of life.
