💉 Euflexxa (Viscosupplementation)

Best for: Foot & ankle joint arthritis

Euflexxa is an FDA-approved hyaluronic acid injection that restores the natural cushioning and lubrication inside arthritic joints. If you have osteoarthritis of the ankle, subtalar joint, or midfoot — and cortisone is no longer cutting it — Euflexxa offers longer-lasting relief by replenishing what arthritis has broken down.

• FDA-approved | Covered by most insurance including Medicare
• Series of 3 weekly in-office injections
• Relief that can last 6 months or more

💉 Leneva (Injectable Adipose Matrix)

Best for: Fat pad atrophy & chronic pressure pain

Leneva is the only FDA-cleared injectable designed specifically to restore lost fat pad volume in the foot. If the ball of your foot or heel feels like you're walking on bone — despite orthotics and padding — Leneva replenishes the cushioning tissue that has thinned over time.

• The only FDA-cleared injectable for plantar fat pad restoration
• Single in-office treatment session
• Results that can last 12 months or more

💉 Amniotic Tissue Injections (Regenerative Biologics)

Best for: Chronic tendon, ligament & soft tissue conditions

Amniotic tissue injections deliver a concentrated regenerative environment — rich in growth factors, structural proteins, and anti-inflammatory signals — directly to damaged tissue. This is the right option when chronic plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, tendon degeneration, or soft tissue breakdown hasn't responded to conventional treatment.

• FDA-regulated biologic products
• Covered by many insurance plans including Medicare
• Promotes actual tissue repair — not just temporary relief

How Dr. Cella Chooses the Right Treatment for You

No two patients are alike — and no single injection is right for every condition. During your consultation, Dr. Cella will:

• Review your full history — including prior treatments, imaging, and how your symptoms have evolved
• Examine your foot and ankle with the trained eye of a board-certified surgeon
• Explain your options clearly — including what each treatment does, what it doesn't do, and what to realistically expect
• Build a treatment plan that may combine injectable therapies with orthotics, physical therapy, or other conservative care

You will never be pushed toward a treatment that isn't right for you. If surgery is ultimately the best path, Dr. Cella will tell you — and she is fully qualified to perform it. But in many cases, the right injectable approach can get you where you need to be without ever going to the operating room.

Why These Treatments — And Why Dr. Cella?

Cortisone injections have their place. But repeated steroid use can weaken tendons, thin cartilage, and mask pain without ever addressing its source. The injectable and biologic treatments offered at Cella Foot and Ankle Specialty represent a fundamentally different philosophy:

Treat the tissue. Restore the function. Avoid unnecessary surgery.

Dr. Cella is one of a select group of podiatric surgeons in Bergen County offering this full spectrum of advanced injectables under one roof — combined with the surgical expertise to know exactly when each one is and isn't appropriate.

What Most of Our Injectable Patients Have in Common

• They've tried cortisone — and either it stopped working or they don't want to keep doing it
• They've been told surgery is the next step — but they're not ready
• They've tried orthotics, physical therapy, and rest — with only partial relief
• They want a provider who will actually listen and offer something beyond the standard protocol

If that sounds like you, you're in the right place.
