In 2016 I suffered a sever injury to my lower leg. I was told by two specialists that my injury is permanent and nothing can be done. Five years later my leg is still sore to the touch and my foot movement is limited. I don’t believe in giving up. I went to the clinic to seek treatment. They gave me several options and we chose PRP to start with. The procedure was a little painful, I’m not going to lie, but the next morning I woke up for this first time pain free. I am not completely healed, but I know I am on my way. I’m looking forward to more treatment and gaining the full use of my foot and leg. Give them a call and start your healing now.
Understanding Bunions (Hallux Valgus)
A bunion is a bony bump that forms at the base of the big toe, resulting from the joint shifting out of alignment. This condition can be hereditary or worsened by footwear styles popular in Los Angeles, such as narrow or high-heeled shoes frequently worn in fashion-conscious neighborhoods like Beverly Hills and Hollywood.
Symptoms commonly include:
- Visible bump on the inner side of the foot
- Swelling, redness, and tenderness near the big toe joint
- Difficulty walking or finding comfortable shoes in urban settings
- Stiffness and limited range of motion
- Development of corns or calluses from friction
Research shows bunions affect approximately 23% of adults nationwide, with increased prevalence in populations engaged in active, urban lifestyles–making it a significant concern for patients throughout Los Angeles County.
Advanced Treatment Options for Bunions
The Stem Cell & PRP Institute of L.A. offers a range of therapies tailored to each patient’s stage of bunion progression:
Regenerative Therapies
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections
Stimulate healing and reduce inflammation around the affected joint.
Stem Cell Therapy
Promotes cartilage repair and joint restoration, potentially delaying or avoiding surgery.
Ultrasound-Guided Injections
Enhance precision and patient comfort during treatment.
Clinical Evidence:
Studies indicate regenerative therapies result in up to 75% improvement in pain and function, while minimally invasive techniques in Los Angeles patient populations demonstrate high satisfaction and swift return to daily activities.
