Stem Cell Therapy
Harnessing Your Body’s Natural Healing Power
Regenerative Care for Foot and Ankle Health
Stem cell therapy is an innovative treatment that uses your body’s own regenerative ability to repair damaged tissues and support natural healing. This advanced approach can reduce pain, speed recovery, and improve mobility for patients with stubborn injuries or chronic conditions that have not responded to traditional care. At InStride Foot & Ankle of the Carolinas, Dr. Eric Ward and Dr. Blaise Woeste provide state-of-the-art regenerative treatments, helping patients heal more effectively and get back to the activities they love.
What Is Stem Cell Therapy?
Stem cells are unique cells in your body with the remarkable ability to regenerate and transform into many different types of tissue, including muscle, tendon, ligament, cartilage, and bone. When injected into an area of injury, they help stimulate repair and regeneration at the cellular level.
For treatment, stem cells are typically harvested from a safe source, such as your own bone marrow or body fat. The concentrated cells are then injected precisely into the injured area using advanced imaging guidance. Once delivered, the cells work to rebuild damaged tissues and encourage faster, more complete healing.
Conditions That May Benefit
Stem cell therapy can be used to treat a wide range of foot and ankle problems, including:
- Tendon or ligament injuries
- Plantar fasciitis or chronic heel pain
- Ankle sprains with slow recovery
- Arthritis and joint degeneration
- Chronic inflammation or poor tissue healing
This therapy may also be recommended alongside surgery to accelerate recovery and improve outcomes.

Is Stem Cell Therapy Right for You?
Stem cell therapy is often considered when conservative treatments have not provided lasting relief, when injuries are severe, or when healing is slowed due to limited blood supply in the tissues. Our podiatrists will evaluate your condition, discuss all available options, and determine whether regenerative medicine is an appropriate part of your treatment plan.
