Advanced Healing Without Surgery — Offered by Dr. Dean Kim, DPM, FACFAS, ABPM
At Greater Texas Foot & Ankle Specialist in Frisco, TX, we proudly offer cutting-edge regenerative medicine therapies designed to heal damaged tissues, reduce pain, and restore mobility—without the need for invasive surgery. Dr. Dean Kim, board-certified foot and ankle surgeon, specializes in non-surgical, biologically based treatments to target the root causes of pain and dysfunction.
Regenerative medicine uses natural growth factors and biologic materials, including placental- or amniotic-derived tissue, to stimulate healing in joints, tendons, ligaments, and soft tissue. These advanced therapies are ideal for patients with acute or chronic conditions, such as arthritis, plantar fasciitis, or sports-related injuries, who want to avoid surgery and reduce long-term pain.
Avoid Surgery and Long Downtime
Regenerative treatments provide a non-invasive option for patients suffering from conditions like tendinitis, neuromas, arthritis, and plantar fasciitis. In many cases, regenerative medicine can eliminate the need for traditional foot surgery, reducing recovery time and surgical risks.
Heal the Root Cause—Not Just Symptoms
Unlike medications that only mask the pain, regenerative injections support true tissue repair, targeting inflammation and degeneration at the source. This means long-term relief and improved foot function.
Faster Recovery and Return to Activity
By promoting the body’s own natural healing, patients can return to walking, working, or playing sports much faster than with traditional treatment methods. Whether you’re a busy professional or weekend warrior, regenerative therapy helps you bounce back—quickly.
Regenerative therapies, such as Wharton’s Jelly injections, offer effective treatment options for a variety of conditions, including:
These therapies promote natural healing by delivering growth factors and cellular components that aid in tissue repair and regeneration.
Wharton’s Jelly is a nutrient-rich biological substance derived from healthy human birth tissue. It contains a potent combination of hyaluronic acid, growth factors, collagens and elastins, cytokines and peptides, as well as nanoparticles and fibrinogen. These components work synergistically to reduce inflammation, repair damaged tissue, and regenerate supportive structures in the feet and ankles. All tissue used in the production of Wharton’s Jelly is ethically sourced and thoroughly screened by U.S.-accredited tissue banks to ensure safety and quality.
Dr. Dean Kim will perform a thorough evaluation to determine if you’re a candidate for regenerative foot treatments. These therapies may be ideal if you:
Have chronic heel or joint pain
Want to avoid surgery
Have tried conservative treatments with little success
Need faster healing from an injury
The cost of regenerative medicine varies depending on your specific condition and the personalized treatment plan recommended by Dr. Kim. All pricing details will be discussed transparently during your consultation so you can make an informed decision.
At this time, regenerative therapies like Wharton’s Jelly injections and Leneva® are not covered by insurance. However, we offer flexible financing options and accept HSA/FSA accounts to help you invest in long-term healing and mobility.
If you suffer from any of the following conditions, you may be a great candidate for regenerative therapy:
Plantar fasciitis
Arthritis or osteoarthritis
Tendonitis
Neuromas
Fat pad loss
Chronic joint pain
Diabetic foot ulcers or pressure wounds
To determine your eligibility, Dr. Kim will conduct a thorough examination and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan for your needs.
The procedure time varies based on the type of injection and treatment area. In most cases, the process is quick and performed right in our office. Dr. Kim may use live fluoroscopic imaging (C-Arm X-ray) for precise placement when needed. These are non-invasive procedures with minimal to no downtime.
