PRP Therapy: A Natural Way to Heal Foot and Ankle Pain

If you’ve been living with stubborn heel pain, tendon injuries, or joint discomfort that just won’t go away, there’s good news. Your body may already have the solution. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a safe, non-surgical treatment that uses your body’s own healing cells to repair damaged tissue, reduce inflammation, and support long-term recovery.

At Third Coast Foot & Ankle, we offer PRP therapy as part of our commitment to advanced, regenerative care—helping patients heal faster and avoid surgery when possible.

What Is PRP Therapy?

PRP therapy involves drawing a small amount of your blood and spinning it in a centrifuge to separate out the platelet-rich plasma—a concentrated blend of platelets, growth factors, and healing proteins.

This powerful solution is then injected directly into the area of injury or inflammation, stimulating your body’s natural repair process.

What Conditions Can PRP Treat?

PRP is especially effective for chronic or difficult-to-treat foot and ankle conditions, including:

  • Plantar fasciitis

  • Achilles tendonitis

  • Ankle sprains

  • Peroneal tendon injuries

  • Arthritis and joint degeneration

  • Post-surgical healing support

  • Sports injuries or overuse conditions

If you’ve tried physical therapy, orthotics, or anti-inflammatory medications with limited results, PRP may offer a new path forward—without the need for invasive procedures.

What to Expect During PRP Treatment

PRP therapy is performed in-office and typically takes less than an hour:

  1. Blood draw – A small sample is taken from your arm.

  2. Centrifuge processing – We isolate the platelet-rich plasma.

  3. Guided injection – The PRP is carefully injected into the affected area.

  4. Recovery – Most patients experience minimal downtime and can return to daily activities shortly after treatment.

Some soreness at the injection site is normal, and full results are usually seen within 4 to 6 weeks as healing continues.

Why Patients Choose PRP

  • Non-surgical and minimally invasive

  • Drug-free and natural – uses your own blood

  • Promotes long-term tissue healing, not just symptom relief

  • Often used in combination with MLS laser therapy or shockwave therapy for enhanced results

  • Ideal for active individuals looking to avoid prolonged recovery times

Is PRP Right for You?

PRP may be a great option if:

  • You’ve had ongoing pain that hasn’t responded to other treatments

  • You want to avoid steroid injections or surgery

  • You’re looking for a more natural approach to healing

  • You’re in good general health and able to avoid anti-inflammatories during the healing period

Our team will evaluate your condition, review your medical history, and determine whether PRP fits into your personalized treatment plan.
