Regenerative Injection Therapy

for Sprained Ankle

If you’ve been suffering from pain related to a sprained ankle, and the conventional management of this pain hasn’t worked for you, we can help! Regenerative injection therapy (RIT) for sprained ankle provides safe and effective treatments that can stimulate your body’s natural healing process without invasive surgery or medication.

Heal Injuries & Relieve Pain Naturally

A sprained ankle can make daily tasks such as walking around your home, going to work, and driving extremely difficult. While the muscles, ligaments and tendons in your ankles are extremely resilient, a sprained ankle injury can be a lengthy and uncomfortable healing process. For some patients, it can take weeks until they’re back to their normal function. For others, months. What regenerative injection therapy aims to do is speed up the recovery process and relieve pain naturally along the way.

What is Regenerative Injection Therapy?

Regenerative injection therapy (“RIT”) is a non-surgical procedure that involves injecting natural substances such as dextrose (prolotherapy), platelet-rich plasma (PRP), ozone, or other compounds into injured or degenerative areas. Regenerative injections stimulate our body’s natural healing response, helping to repair tissues such as ligaments, tendons, joints, muscles, fascia, and skin. While other medical treatments can provide temporary relief, the goal of these injections is more remedial, helping to alleviate pain and improve function in the process. Dr. Schlee offers various Naturopathic remedies, including regenerative injection therapy for arthritis and joint pain. This includes regenerative injection therapy for sprained ankles.

The Benefits of RIT for Sprained Ankles

Ankle sprains are common, and typically occur when the ligaments stabilizing the ankle joint are stretched or torn. The result of an ankle injury is pain, swelling, and limited mobility, which can significantly impact a person’s daily activities. Our bodies have an incredible ability to heal naturally, but that recovery period can take weeks or even a few months, depending on the severity of the injury. With RIT we aim to reduce the length of time it takes to recover, in addition to restoring the stability to the injured structures – reducing the risk of reinjury or worsening of the existing issue. This then allows you to begin the process of strengthening the muscles that support your ankle, and return to your daily activities sooner without pain. The injection solutions used in regenerative injection therapies, including for sprained ankles, help to reduce or eliminate pain, decrease swelling, and repair the damaged tissue associated with the injury.

How RIT Works for Sprained Ankles

It is possible to accelerate healing by injecting regenerative substances into the affected areas, which, although not exclusive, may trigger a localized and modulated inflammatory response that increases blood flow. Although stimulating inflammation in the area may seem counterintuitive, inflammation is a natural part of regeneration. A properly controlled process can promote the body’s natural healing process, resulting in the development of new and healthier tissues. RIT is incredibly effective for most patients and can be an ideal option if you’re looking to speed the healing process and relieve pain.
