If you’ve been struggling with chronic foot or ankle pain, you may have tried everything, from rest and ice to physical therapy and medication. But what if your own body held the key to faster, more natural healing?
At Manhattan Podiatry Associates in Midtown and Downtown Manhattan, New York City, we’re proud to offer Aurix® XL, an advanced platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment that uses your body’s natural regenerative power.
Read on as our team shares the details.
PRP therapy is a non-surgical treatment that uses a small sample of your own blood to jumpstart healing.
You’ve probably heard of PRP. It’s used in med spas (as part of microneedling facials), in physical therapy (to help treat sports injuries), and in orthopedics (to help bone and joint injuries heal faster). It’s also used in podiatric care.
Regardless of how PRP therapy is used, the premise is the same:
Platelets are already involved in healing. In fact, they’re activated in your body when they encounter damaged blood vessels. So, when you concentrate those platelets, you promote healing on the spot.
Your super-concentrated platelet serum triggers your body’s natural healing mechanisms, thanks to all of those proteins and growth factors.
Aurix XL is the processing system we use to transform your blood sample into a highly concentrated PRP serum.
Aurix XL isn’t just fast; it’s the fastest and most effective PRP system available today. It delivers a higher baseline platelet concentration (than other systems), so you experience superior healing outcomes in less time. That means less downtime and quicker relief from pain and inflammation.
Our team uses PRP therapy to address a wide range of foot and ankle conditions, including:
The best part? PRP therapy can complement other treatments, including physical therapy, orthotics, and lifestyle changes. This means you can approach your pain management and healing from multiple angles.
Because PRP uses your body’s own natural healing components, the treatment is safe, minimally invasive, and free of synthetic chemicals.
Most people experience reduced pain and inflammation, improved mobility and function, faster recovery, and long-lasting healing. This is all done without incisions, pills, or invasive treatments.
PRP can also help you avoid (or postpone) surgery. Research shows that PRP therapy can significantly improve recovery from ankle sprains.
In one study, people experienced major pain relief — pain scores dropped from 7.1 to 0.6 — and every person in the study regained strong, stable ankle function. Even those who had minor re-sprains said they were happy with their results and recovery.
Whether you’re an athlete recovering from an injury or someone dealing with chronic foot pain, PRP therapy offers a natural, effective way to restore your strength and function.
At Manhattan Podiatry Associates, we’re committed to offering New Yorkers the most advanced regenerative treatments, so you can get back on your feet faster and stronger.
