Ankle arthritis can cause chronic pain, stiffness, and difficulty walking — often limiting daily activities and quality of life. Early recognition is key to slowing progression and finding relief.

3 Ways to Identify Ankle Arthritis:

1️⃣ Persistent Pain or Swelling
Ongoing ankle pain, tenderness, or swelling — especially after activity or at the end of the day.

2️⃣ Stiffness & Reduced Range of Motion
Difficulty moving the ankle, feeling “tight,” or struggling with stairs and uneven surfaces.

3️⃣ Grinding, Catching, or Instability
A sensation of clicking, grinding, or feeling like the ankle may “give out.”

Liposana is a cryopreserved human adipose (fat) tissue allograft made from real human fat tissue that is carefully processed to preserve its natural structure and properties.

How It Helps --

✔ Provides immediate cushioning and structural support where fat has been lost.
✔ Improves shock absorption, reducing pressure-related pain when walking or standing.
✔ Tissue integrates over time and fosters your foot’s natural cushioning response.
✔ Can help with conditions like fat pad atrophy, metatarsalgia, plantar heel pain, calluses, and post-surgical padding loss.

Unlike temporary fillers, Liposana provides a long-lasting solution that feels and functions like your own natural foot padding. If you’ve been dealing with pain under your heel or ball of foot despite inserts, orthotics, or other treatments, Liposana may be worth discussing with your provider.

👣 Supportive Slippers = Happier Feet 👣

Walking barefoot or in flat slippers can make foot pain worse. If you’re spending time at home, choose slippers with real support!

Some of our favorite foot-friendly brands:
✔ Birkenstock
✔ Vionic
✔ Glerups
✔ Acorn

Look for arch support, cushioning, and a stable sole — your feet will thank you. 💙
When in doubt, ask your podiatrist!
