DPMx Regenerative Injections in New Canaan, CT
What Is DPMx Used For?
DPMx is a regenerative tissue product derived from donated human umbilical cord tissue, rich in Wharton’s Jelly, used at New Canaan Podiatry to support tissue repair and restore lost cushioning in chronic conditions like fat pad atrophy and plantar fasciitis. Dr. Jennifer Tauber, DPM, offers it as a minimally invasive, in-office injection for patients who want a regenerative option before considering surgery.Â

What Makes DPMx Different
Wharton’s Jelly is the gelatinous connective tissue naturally found within the umbilical cord, and it’s rich in structural proteins, hyaluronic acid, and growth factors that support tissue repair. DPMx is processed from donated umbilical cord tissue under strict regulatory screening to preserve those natural properties, then delivered as an injection directly to the affected area. Rather than simply masking pain, it gives depleted or damaged tissue a biological framework to rebuild around.
Conditions DPMx Can Help With
DPMx is used at our practice for a range of chronic conditions where tissue has broken down or lost its natural cushioning, including:
1
Fat pad atrophy in the heel or ball of the foot
2
Chronic plantar fasciitis that hasn't responded fully to more conservative care
3
Arthritic joint pain, including the big toe joint
4
Chronic tendon and soft tissue conditions where regenerative support may help
5
Post-injection or post-procedure recovery, when swelling and inflammation management matter
What to Expect From Treatment
DPMx is delivered as an in-office injection, and Dr. Tauber evaluates your specific condition first to confirm it’s the right option for what’s actually driving your pain. Most patients tolerate the injection well, with mild, brief discomfort at most. Because it works by supporting your body’s own tissue repair process, results tend to build gradually as the tissue integrates rather than appearing overnight, some patients notice improvement within a few weeks, while others see more gradual progress over the following months. Dr. Tauber will walk you through realistic expectations based on your specific condition.
DPMx is often used alongside other treatments we offer, including custom orthotics, MLS Laser Therapy, and EPAT Shockwave Therapy, as part of a broader plan for chronic foot and ankle pain.
Your Questions, Answered
Call (203) 548-7688 or request an appointment online.
Is DPMx safe?
Yes. It’s derived from donated human tissue that undergoes rigorous safety screening and processing under strict regulatory standards before it’s ever used in a procedure.
Does the injection hurt?
It’s minimally invasive, and most patients experience only mild, brief discomfort. Dr. Tauber keeps your comfort in mind throughout the procedure.
How soon will I notice results?
It varies by patient and condition. Some people notice improvement within a few weeks as the tissue integrates, while others see more gradual progress over several months. Dr. Tauber will set realistic expectations for your specific case during your evaluation.
Can DPMx be combined with other treatments?
Yes, it’s often paired with custom orthotics, MLS Laser Therapy, EPAT Shockwave Therapy, and other approaches as part of a more complete plan for chronic pain.
Will insurance cover it?
Coverage varies by plan and diagnosis. Call us at (203) 548-7688 and we can walk through your coverage and payment options.
How is DPMx different from a cortisone shot?
Cortisone reduces inflammation, but repeated use over time doesn’t address the underlying structural loss driving many chronic conditions. DPMx takes a different approach, supporting your body’s own tissue repair rather than just managing inflammation around the problem.
Am I a good candidate for DPMx?
Patients with chronic fat pad atrophy, plantar fasciitis, or joint pain who want a regenerative option before considering surgery are often good candidates. Dr. Tauber will review your history and evaluate your condition directly to confirm whether DPMx is the right fit for you.
