Non-Surgical Treatment for Ball of Foot Pain

How long does Leneva live? Leneva is a procedure that uses injections for the treatment of the fat pad under the foot. The foot's fat pad serves as a cushion that protects the bones from damage. The cushion can cause pain in your foot if it is worn down or damaged. Leneva can relieve this pain by injecting a substance known as hyaluronic acids into the area that has lost its fat pad. The substance will provide some cushioning and plumping. The injections are usually performed every six months and last for approximately six weeks. What is the cost of Leneva? Leneva is a non-invasive,new treatment for foot pain. It uses injections made from the patient's own fats to restore cushioning. The procedure takes only minutes and is highly effective in relieving pain and improving function. Leneva uses liposuction to remove a small amount fat from another region of the body. The fat is then injected in the areas of the foot that require cushioning or support. Each patient has different needs so the injection locations are chosen carefully. Leneva's procedure uses the patient’s own fat. Therefore,there is no risk for rejection or allergic reaction. The fat cells in the foot will grow and continue to live long after injection. Leneva's best feature is its ability to be done in one visit. It takes only a few days to recover and most patients are able return to their usual activities within a few weeks. Leneva is an option for those suffering from foot pain. Call us today to discuss this new revolutionary treatment.

KC Foot Care offers a noninvasive way to treat foot pain caused by a recurring callus,pain in the ball of the foot or heel and even ulcerations due to loss of fat padding. As we age,the fat pad to our feet shifts due to hammertoe and bunion deformity or repeated steroid injections for plantar fasciitis. The fat pad thins down,causing increased pressure points and pain with every step we take. Leneva is an allograft adipose matrix derived from donated human tissue used for tissue reconstruction. This is a safe and clinically proven solution to help with foot pain without steroid injections or surgery. Leneva is also FDA approved. How can I treat corns and calluses at home? Unless the cause of the corn and callus is addressed,they will not go away and often grow back. Home care includes gentle exfoliation using a pumice stone regularly. Using a razor or cuticle scissors is risky and can cause an infection. Do not use any over the counter medicated products with salicylic acid without consulting a podiatrist. Using these products without supervision can make the issue worse. What other treatments are available? The goal in treating the corn or callus is to reduce the pressure causing it. Choosing wider appropriately sized shoes,prescribed skin softeners with urea or lactic acid,regular foot care,felt pads,gel inserts and custom orthotics are usually the first line of treatment. Recent advancement in medicine has made many foot fillers,including fat allograft (Leneva),as a nonsurgical option injection therapy for pain relief. Lastly,surgery may be considered in severe cases.
