Without something like targeted peptide therapy to reduce background inflammation, the initial gains gradually erode. What blood tests should I ask for before foot or ankle treatment? Ask for fasting insulin, vitamin B12, CRP, ESR, and an MTHFR test. These reveal whether your body is in a metabolic state that can actually respond to healing. Is minimal incision foot surgery a real option or still experimental? It is now a proven, mainstream technique for bunions, hammertoes, and other forefoot conditions. Ask your surgeon directly if they are trained in it and whether you qualify.📱 RESOURCES Website: www.bregmanfance.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bregman_fance/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BregmanFootandNerve YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DrPeterBregmanDPMfootguru🔔 Subscribe for weekly breakdowns on foot health, nerve conditions, and regenerative medicine from a board-certified foot surgeon with nearly 30 years of clinical experience.ABOUT DR.
