WHARTON’S JELLY REGENERATIVE THERAPY FOR PAIN IN WESTCHESTER, NY
At Westchester Podiatric Medicine - Nerve & Wound Healing Institute, led by Dr. John Marzano offers Wharton’s Jelly biologic therapy for foot and ankle pain. This non-surgical regenerative treatment supports the body’s natural healing response in damaged tendons, ligaments, and joints rather than simply masking pain.
Wharton’s Jelly Stem Cell Therapy For Chronic Foot and Ankle Conditions
Wharton’s Jelly is a regenerative biologic derived from umbilical cord tissue that contains growth factors and extracellular matrix components. In podiatric and musculoskeletal care, it is used to support the healing environment in injured or degenerative tissue. It is commonly used for:
Plantar fasciitis
Achilles tendinitis
Posterior tibial tendon dysfunction
Peroneal tendinitis
Chronic ankle instability
Osteoarthritis of the foot and ankle
Capsulitis
Morton’s neuroma
This treatment is performed as a minimally invasive in-office injection placed directly into the affected tendon, ligament, or joint, often with ultrasound guidance for precision. The procedure typically takes under 30 minutes, and most patients return to normal activity the same day with only mild temporary soreness.
Wharton’s Jelly therapy supports tissue repair rather than symptom relief, making it a non-surgical tendon repair option for chronic or degenerative conditions that have not improved with conservative care. It avoids systemic medication side effects and can be combined with orthotics, physical therapy, and rehabilitation for improved outcomes. At Westchester Podiatric Medicine - Nerve & Wound Healing Institute, Dr. John Marzano integrates advanced biologic treatments with comprehensive foot and ankle care focused on long-term recovery without surgery.
