3-Month Regenerative Therapy Program

The 3-Month Regenerative Therapy Program for Chronic Foot & Ankle Pain eliminates chronic foot and ankle pain through a powerful combination of regenerative injections (PRP, ozone, homeopathics), hyperbaric oxygen therapy, IV nutritional support, and holistic health optimization—no surgery required.
Most patients experience significant pain reduction within 4-6 weeks, with 90% reporting improvement and 70% achieving complete resolution by 3 months. Treatment is provided under Dr. Don Kim, DPM, FACFAS, at Kim Holistic Foot & Ankle Center in Long Beach, California.
3-Month Regenerative Therapy Program

What Is the 3-Month Regenerative Therapy Program?

This program uses your body’s natural healing mechanisms to repair damaged tissue rather than masking symptoms. Unlike cortisone or NSAIDs that suppress symptoms, this program creates actual structural healing that lasts years, not weeks. Four complementary modalities work together:

Regenerative Injections: 

Homeopathic compounds and medical-grade ozone (weeks 1-2) prepare tissues, followed by platelet-rich plasma (PRP) with ozone (week 3) to stimulate collagen synthesis and tissue repair.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy with red light therapy:

 Pressurized chamber treatment delivers oxygen at 15-times normal levels, driving stem cell mobilization and tissue regeneration. Using red light inside the oxygen chamber increases circulation to a specific area of the foot and ankle by up to 3600%, dramatically enhancing the oxygen chamber’s healing effects.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

IV Nutrient Therapy:

IV Nutrient Therapy: Micronutrients such as Vitamin B, C, Magnesium, and Glutathione are infused directly into the vein, bypassing the gut to boost a patient’s healing potential.

Holistic Health Optimization: 

The 9 Secrets Membership program addresses inflammation, detoxification, nutrition, sleep, stress, and metabolic barriers to create an optimal internal healing environment.

How the Program Works

Our program is structured in a particular manner to ensure the best outcomes:

Phase 1: Initial Consultation (Week 0)

60-minute evaluation ($425) includes complete assessment, imaging review, and customized treatment plan after reviewing your intake forms (MSQ, MEAQ, diet journal, medical history, blood work) by one of our health coaches.

Plus a 30-minute consultation with Dr. Kim to have diagnostic tests done and to have K Wellness procedures and regenerative injections recommended.
Initial Consultation

Phase 2: Body Optimization (Weeks 1-4)

Begin 9 Secrets Membership with educational modules (water, protein, sugar, fats, supplements, exercise, stress, sleep, spiritual alignment), targeted supplements, foundational detox program, and HBOT/IV therapy if recommended.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapies (HBOT) and IV Nutrient Therapies (Week 1-4)
Start these therapies to prime the healing potential by giving extra Oxygen and micronutrients.  This is important for patients who need to improve their health status quickly before regenerative injections, so they can start the next phase.
Body Optimization

Phase 3: Regenerative Injections (Weeks 5-12)

Each injection series includes three weekly injections: homeopathic/ozone (weeks 1-2) and PRP/ozone (week 3). All were performed under ultrasound or fluoroscopic guidance.

Immobilization in a CAM boot is necessary for 3 days after the first two injections with homeopathics and Ozone. PRP with Ozone injection will require immobilization in a CAM boot for 2 weeks.

Joint and ligament injections usually heal with one series. However, the tendons (especially the Achilles tendon) and the nerve (neuroma) may require additional injection series depending on the severity of the conditions.
Ongoing Support: Weekly office hours with Dr. Kim, bi-weekly (Gold) or weekly (Platinum) coaching sessions with one of our health coaches.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our guide to Frequently Asked Questions. Explore answers to common queries and empower your decision-making for a seamless collaboration.

Cortisone temporarily suppresses pain but weakens tissue with repeated use. Regenerative injections stimulate your body to actually repair damaged tissue for lasting structural healing.

Tissue healing requires optimal internal conditions. The 3-month program optimizes nutrition, reduces inflammation, and addresses barriers to healing so regenerative injections are maximally effective.

Yes. You’ll need 3 days of minimal weight-bearing after homeopathic injections and 2 weeks of minimal weight-bearing after PRP injections if your job involves prolonged standing. Sedentary work continues without interruption—dramatically different from surgery’s 3-6 months recovery. Driving is not recommended after every injection for a minimum of 3 days.

Many patients successfully avoid surgery with this program. Dr. Kim will provide an honest assessment during consultation about whether regenerative therapy has reasonable success chances or if surgery remains the best option.

No, regenerative therapies operate on a cash-pay basis. HSA/FSA funds accepted. Diagnostic imaging may be partially billable.
