Secrets to Treating Heel Pain: APC Injections

Autologous Platelet Concentrate is a procedure that is done to stimulate healing. blood is drawn from the patient, spun in a centrifuge, and the platelets (the growth and healing factors of the blood) are drawn out afterwards. After the platelets are drawn out, they are re-injected into the damaged tissue in the plantar fascia. This stimulates healing at a rate of five times more quickly than the healing rate of normal blood vessels.
