Total Fracture Recovery: Healing Faster with Laser Therapy + PRP

LinkedIn

Recovering from a foot or ankle fracture is a journey. While the cast or boot immobilizes the bone, allowing it to mend, what about the surrounding tissues? The inflammation, pain, and stiffness from damaged tendons and ligaments can often linger, slowing down your return to normal activity.

At Feet First Foot Care, we believe in a total recovery. We use a synergistic combo of laser and platelet-rich plasma therapy to manage post-injury inflammation and pain, helping you heal more completely. And that’s what this blog is all about!

Beyond the Broken Bone: The Soft Tissue Struggle

A fracture is rarely just a bone injury. The trauma that breaks a bone also damages the surrounding soft tissues – the ligaments, tendons, and muscles that support your foot and ankle. This can lead to persistent issues even after the bone has healed, such as:

  • Post-traumatic tendonitis
  • Chronic inflammation and swelling
  • Persistent pain and stiffness
  • A slower, more difficult return to activity

The REMY Laser for Inflammation & Pain

Instead of just waiting for this secondary inflammation and pain to subside, we can take a proactive approach. Regenerative medicine harnesses your body’s own natural healing abilities to accelerate recovery.

One of the key tools for managing post-injury inflammation is the Remy Laser. This powerful Class IV laser therapy is a non-invasive, pain-free treatment that can significantly aid your recovery.

  • The laser delivers targeted light energy deep into the injured soft tissues.
  • This energy works at a cellular level to reduce inflammation, alleviate pain, and boost circulation, bringing oxygen and nutrients to the area to speed up repair.
  • It’s an excellent way to treat the tendonitis and soft tissue pain that often accompany a fracture.

Harnessing Your Body’s Power: AURIX System (PRP) for Tissue Repair

For tissues that need an extra healing boost, we may use AURIX PRP Therapy, a state-of-the-art solution for creating Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP).

  • This advanced system concentrates the healing platelets and growth factors from a small sample of your own blood.
  • When this PRP is introduced to the injured area, it can help support and enhance the repair of damaged ligaments and tendons, addressing the root cause of lingering instability or pain.

A Faster, More Complete Recovery

By integrating regenerative treatments like the Remy Laser and AURIX PRP into a fracture recovery plan, our goal is to:

  • Manage Pain & Inflammation Effectively: Providing relief without sole reliance on medication.
  • Accelerate Soft Tissue Healing: Helping you feel better faster.
  • Improve Overall Outcomes: Ensuring a more complete and comfortable recovery.
  • Get You Back on Your Feet Safely: Reducing the frustrating limitations that can linger after a fracture.

Total fracture recovery means healing both the bone and the surrounding tissues. If you’re struggling with pain and inflammation after a foot or ankle injury, ask us how regenerative medicine like laser therapy and PRP can be integrated into your recovery plan.
