Do you suffer from persistent pain in your heel, ankle, or foot? Is a sports injury not healing properly, or is osteoarthritis limiting your mobility? At IBC Comprés Podología, your trusted clinic in Mollet del Vallés, we offer an advanced and natural solution to accelerate healing and relieve pain: treatment with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP).
What is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Treatment?
PRP is an innovative therapy within regenerative medicine. It consists of using your body’s own healing resources to repair damaged tissue. We obtain a small sample of your blood, process it by centrifugation to concentrate the platelets and essential growth factors, and then inject this enriched plasma directly into the injured area of the foot or ankle.
How does PRP work in podiatry?
Platelets are key blood cells in clotting, but they are also a very rich source of growth factors. By infiltrating a high concentration of these bioactive proteins into the injured tissue (tendons, ligaments, cartilage, muscles):
- They stimulate cell repair: They activate local cells to regenerate damaged tissue.
- They reduce inflammation: They help modulate the inflammatory response, relieving pain.
- They promote the formation of new blood vessels: They improve the supply of nutrients and oxygen to the area.
- They accelerate the natural healing process of the body.
What Podiatric Conditions Do We Treat with PRP at IBC Comprés?
PRP has proven effective in a variety of foot and ankle problems, including:
- Plantar Fasciitis: Painful inflammation of the band of tissue on the sole of the foot.
- Tendinitis and Tendinosis: Especially the Achilles tendon, peroneal tendons, posterior tibial tendon…
- Ligament Injuries: Such as chronic or poorly healed ankle sprains.
