Dr.Artis was so amazing. After going to two other podiatrists who gave me no support or hope, Dr. artis made me feel like there can be change for me. She was so patient, kind and informative. I’m actually excited to go back and get my results.
PRP therapy for Achilles tendonitis involves drawing a small sample of the patient’s blood, processing it in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets and growth factors, and injecting the resulting plasma directly into the diseased tendon tissue under ultrasound guidance. The growth factors in PRP — including PDGF, TGF-β, and VEGF — stimulate collagen synthesis, reduce inflammatory mediators, and promote new tendon cell formation in areas where chronic degeneration has disrupted normal healing. At Healthy Feet Podiatry in Manhattan, we use high-resolution diagnostic ultrasound both to confirm the precise location of tendon pathology and to guide the injection with pinpoint accuracy — a standard that significantly improves outcomes compared to landmark-based injection techniques.
At Healthy Feet Podiatry, PRP therapy for Achilles tendonitis is performed as an in-office procedure with no general anesthesia and no hospital stay. The entire process — blood draw, centrifugation, and ultrasound-guided injection — takes approximately 45 minutes. Most patients experience mild soreness at the injection site for 48–72 hours as the inflammatory healing cascade activates; this is a normal and expected part of the process. We pair PRP with a structured eccentric loading rehabilitation program beginning two weeks post-injection, as research shows that combining PRP with progressive tendon loading produces significantly better outcomes than PRP alone. The majority of our Manhattan Achilles tendonitis patients treated with PRP report meaningful pain reduction and functional improvement within six to twelve weeks.
Healthy Feet Podiatry is one of Manhattan’s leading providers of PRP therapy for foot and ankle conditions, with a dedicated regenerative medicine approach to Achilles tendinopathy. We use ultrasound guidance on every PRP injection — not optional, not extra — because blind injections into tendon tissue carry a higher risk of missing the target zone and delivering suboptimal results. Our Manhattan clinic serves patients from the Upper East Side, Midtown, Flatiron, and surrounding neighborhoods, with appointments available to fit busy New York schedules. If chronic Achilles tendonitis has been limiting your quality of life, PRP therapy at Healthy Feet Podiatry may be the regenerative reset your tendon needs.
