Cortisone shots and stretching address pain temporarily but do nothing to repair the underlying tissue damage.Q: What is regenerative medicine for heel pain?A: Treatments like Wharton's jelly, exosomes, and RPA are injected directly into the damaged fascia under ultrasound guidance, delivering the collagen, proteins, and growth factors the tissue needs to repair itself. In most cases, this requires one or two injections with no surgery, no boot, and no crutches.Q: Does sugar actually affect heel pain?A: Yes, significantly. Excess sugar drives chronic inflammation that prevents tissue healing, even when regenerative treatments are used. Cutting sugar for two to three weeks can produce noticeable pain reduction by allowing the body to enter a healing state.📱 RESOURCESWebsite: www.bregmanfance.comInstagram: www.instagram.com/bregman_fance/Facebook: www.facebook.com/BregmanFootandNerve🔔 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.
