The Future of Healing: How Regenerative Medicine is Transforming Foot & Ankle Care
Stem cells, Wharton's Jelly, and peptide therapy are offering a revolutionary alternative to surgery for conditions from Plantar Fasciitis to Achilles injuries.



State-of-the-art technology. Regenerative medicine — including biologics used intraoperatively for faster, better healing. Peripheral nerve diagnosis and surgery. Minimally invasive solutions. Difficult cases and second opinions.
Dr. Peter J. Bregman, DPM — board-certified foot and ankle surgeon, Harvard-affiliated fellowship training. Nearly 30 years of practice, 15 in Las Vegas. A practice built around the most advanced tools and techniques available in foot, ankle, and nerve care.

Areas of Specialized Focus
Bregman Foot-Ankle & Nerve Center is built around five areas of advanced specialty care. Each represents a distinct clinical focus — not a menu of routine services.
Is This Practice Right for You?
This practice is specifically designed for patients with complex, chronic, or previously unresolved problems — and for those who want a more advanced level of evaluation and care.
Difficult Cases & Second OpinionsRegenerative Medicine
Regenerative medicine is one of the two defining pillars of this practice. For properly selected patients, biologic and regenerative strategies can reduce pain, support healing, and in some cases delay or avoid surgery.
Treatment planning is individualized. Not every patient is a candidate. The goal is always to match the right intervention to the right patient at the right time — not to apply a protocol indiscriminately.

Every regenerative treatment plan is built around the patient's specific condition, history, and goals.
Peripheral Nerve Expertise
Nerve pathology in the foot and ankle is frequently missed, misdiagnosed, or undertreated. Dr. Bregman's training in peripheral nerve evaluation allows him to identify conditions that other providers may overlook — and to offer surgical and non-surgical options that address the underlying nerve involvement.
Many surgeons default to neurectomy — surgical removal of the nerve — as the primary treatment for Morton's neuroma. Dr. Bregman's approach emphasizes nerve decompression where clinically appropriate, preserving the nerve rather than removing it.
Patients travel from across the country for this evaluation and surgical approach, including those with recurrent symptoms or prior failed procedures.
Morton's Neuroma TreatmentFrom nerve entrapment and traumatic nerve injury to post-surgical nerve pain and complex sensory symptoms, Dr. Bregman provides the kind of thorough nerve evaluation that these conditions require.
Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome
Tarsal tunnel syndrome — compression of the posterior tibial nerve — is frequently confused with plantar fasciitis, neuropathy, or other conditions. Patients often spend years in treatment that does not address the actual problem.
Dr. Bregman provides thorough clinical and electrodiagnostic evaluation, conservative and regenerative options, and surgical decompression of the posterior tibial nerve when indicated. This is a flagship area of evaluation and treatment at this practice.
Tarsal Tunnel SyndromeInjection-Based Regenerative Care
Glucopuncture is a thoughtful, lower-intensity injection-based approach that may have a role in selected patients with musculoskeletal or nerve-related pain patterns. It is part of this practice's broader regenerative medicine philosophy — not a standalone miracle therapy, but a precise tool for the right patient at the right stage of care.
Learn more about the underlying approach at glucopuncture.com. Dr. Bregman integrates this technique as part of an individualized treatment plan for properly selected patients.
Glucopuncture OverviewMinimal tissue disruption reduces scarring and supports faster recovery.
Surgical approach matched to the patient's anatomy and goals — not a one-size-fits-all protocol.
Bunionplasty MIS for appropriate candidates seeking less invasive correction.
Minimally invasive techniques are used when they are the right choice, not as a default.
Minimally Invasive Surgery
Where clinically appropriate, Dr. Bregman employs minimally invasive and minimal incision surgical techniques that reduce tissue disruption, minimize scarring, and support faster recovery. This includes bunion correction and selected other foot and ankle procedures.
The surgical approach is always matched to the patient's anatomy, condition, and goals. Minimally invasive surgery is a precision tool — not a marketing claim.
Minimally Invasive Surgery OverviewDifficult Cases & Second Opinions
This practice is specifically built for patients with chronic pain, failed prior treatment, prior surgery that did not solve the problem, confusing diagnoses, and cases that require a more thorough and advanced level of evaluation.
Many of these patients have nerve pathology, regenerative medicine candidacy, or surgical options that have not yet been properly evaluated. Dr. Bregman provides the kind of second-opinion consultation that complex cases deserve.

State-of-the-Art Care
Dr. Bregman's practice is built around the most advanced tools and techniques available in foot, ankle, and nerve care — combining cutting-edge surgical technology with regenerative biologics for faster, better healing.
Percutaneous and keyhole procedures that reduce tissue disruption, minimize scarring, and support faster recovery — with real patient results to demonstrate outcomes.
Regenerative biologics — including peptides, growth factors, and stem cell-derived therapies — applied directly at the surgical site to prime tissue for accelerated healing from the moment the wound is closed.
Advanced nerve decompression and repair techniques refined through 750+ common fibular nerve procedures — with electrodiagnostic evaluation to identify what other providers miss.

Philosophy of Care
Dr. Bregman takes a holistic approach to every patient. He doesn't just look at the foot or ankle — he looks at everything going on in the body, because what happens above directly affects what happens below.
Systemic inflammation driven by diet and gut microbiome imbalance can worsen nerve pain, slow tissue healing, and reduce the effectiveness of regenerative therapies.
Anxiety, depression, and chronic stress amplify pain signals and affect recovery. Mental health is part of every complete treatment strategy.
Poor sleep impairs tissue repair, elevates inflammatory markers, and lowers pain tolerance — all of which directly impact foot and ankle conditions.
Chronic stress keeps the nervous system in a heightened state, contributing to nerve hypersensitivity, muscle tension, and delayed healing in the lower extremity.
Whether the recommendation is regenerative therapy, nerve surgery, or conservative management, Dr. Bregman considers the full picture — not just the X-ray. This whole-patient perspective is what sets care at the Bregman Foot-Ankle & Nerve Center apart from a standard podiatry visit.

"I had been told by two other surgeons that I needed a neurectomy. Dr. Bregman evaluated me thoroughly and recommended decompression instead. I'm pain-free and still have full sensation in my foot."
"I traveled from out of state specifically to see Dr. Bregman. He identified tarsal tunnel syndrome that had been missed for years. His surgical decompression changed everything."
"After being told by multiple doctors that nothing more could be done, Dr. Bregman took a completely different approach. His nerve evaluation and regenerative treatment plan gave me my life back."
"I had a failed neuroma surgery elsewhere and lived with pain for three years. Dr. Bregman performed revision surgery and I finally have relief. I wish I had found him sooner."
