Foot & Ankle Trauma & Injury
From acute sports injuries to complex fractures, Dr. Bregman provides comprehensive care using regenerative medicine and advanced surgical techniques to optimize healing and long-term outcomes.
Advanced Trauma Care for Active Patients
Foot and ankle injuries are among the most common traumatic injuries — and among the most commonly undertreated. Standard care often focuses on immobilization and rest, which can leave patients with chronic pain, instability, and post-traumatic arthritis that develops years later.
Dr. Bregman takes a fundamentally different approach. By incorporating regenerative medicine biologics, peptide therapy, and laser therapy into trauma care, he accelerates tissue healing, reduces scar formation, and helps patients return to full activity faster — with better long-term results.
Whether you've suffered an acute injury on the pickleball court or are dealing with chronic pain from an old injury that never healed properly, Dr. Bregman has the expertise and tools to help.
Conditions We Treat
Ankle Fractures
From simple lateral malleolus fractures to complex bimalleolar and trimalleolar fractures requiring surgical fixation.
Ankle Sprains & Ligament Tears
Chronic instability from inadequately treated sprains is a leading cause of long-term disability. Proper evaluation and targeted treatment restore stability.
Achilles Tendon Rupture
Complete Achilles ruptures require prompt, expert management. Dr. Bregman offers both surgical and non-surgical options with regenerative biologics.
Stress Fractures
Common in runners, military personnel, and pickleball players. Metatarsal and calcaneal stress fractures require accurate diagnosis and appropriate offloading.
Lisfranc Injuries
Midfoot injuries involving the Lisfranc joint complex are frequently missed on initial evaluation. Dr. Bregman has expertise in diagnosing and treating these complex injuries.
Peroneal Tendon Tears
Lateral ankle pain that persists after a sprain is often due to a peroneal tendon tear — commonly overlooked without advanced imaging.
Post-Traumatic Arthritis
Arthritis that develops after a fracture or ligament injury can be treated with regenerative medicine and peptide therapy to reduce pain and delay joint replacement.
Pickleball Injuries
The fastest-growing sport in America also produces a growing number of foot and ankle injuries. Dr. Bregman specializes in treating pickleball-related injury patterns.
Tendon Injuries
Partial and complete tears of the posterior tibial, flexor hallucis longus, and extensor tendons require specialized evaluation and treatment.
Regenerative Medicine for Faster Healing
Dr. Bregman incorporates biological agents to accelerate and enhance the healing process in both surgical and non-surgical trauma care:
Frequently Asked Questions
I sprained my ankle months ago and it still hurts — is that normal?
No. Persistent pain after an ankle sprain often indicates an incompletely healed ligament, a peroneal tendon tear, osteochondral lesion, or chronic instability. These conditions require proper evaluation and targeted treatment — not just more rest.
Can regenerative medicine help an old injury that never healed properly?
Yes. Regenerative medicine is highly effective for chronic injuries that have failed to heal. Stem cell therapy, PRP, and peptide therapy can reactivate the healing process in chronically injured tissues.
Do I need surgery for my foot or ankle fracture?
Not necessarily. Many fractures can be managed conservatively with appropriate immobilization and regenerative support. Dr. Bregman will evaluate your specific fracture pattern and recommend the most appropriate treatment.
I play pickleball and have ankle pain — what should I do?
Pickleball produces a distinctive set of foot and ankle injuries including ankle sprains, Achilles tendon problems, and stress fractures. Dr. Bregman has extensive experience treating pickleball-related injuries and can develop a treatment plan that gets you back on the court as quickly as possible.
