Conditions Treated
Ankle arthritis results from wear and tear of the joint, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. Unlike knee replacements, ankle replacements are complex and less commonly performed.
How It Works

- PRP is rich in growth factors that promote healing, reduce inflammation, and regenerate damaged cartilage.
Benefits
- Non-surgical alternative to ankle replacement
- Reduces pain and inflammation
- May slow or even reverse arthritis progression
