Webinar: How Podiatrists Are Growing Their Practices with Regenerative Medicine in 2026
2026-06-03 19:00 - 20:00 UTC | Virtual, IL
More podiatrists are exploring regenerative medicine, not just as a clinical offering, but as a strategic way to diversify services, attract new patient segments, and create additional revenue within their practices.
However, adding regenerative services is one thing and getting patients to understand it, trust it, and book with your practice instead of the clinic down the street…that’s where strategy matters.
Patients are actively researching PRP, shockwave, biologics, stem-cell conversations, and non-surgical healing options across Google, AI search, YouTube, and social media, often before ever speaking to a doctor.
The question is:When they search, does your podiatry practice look like the trusted authority, or are they finding someone else?
In this live webinar, we’ll break down how podiatrists can position regenerative medicine the right way: building trust, staying compliant, and turning interest into qualified consultations.
What we’ll cover:– How patients are searching for regenerative foot and ankle solutions in 2026– Positioning regenerative medicine as a premium extension of your podiatry practice– Website, Google, and AI search strategies that drive qualified consults– Messaging that creates excitement without creating unrealistic expectations– Content strategies that educate patients and reduce front-desk objections– Common mistakes that attract poor-fit leads, price shoppers, or skepticism– Real-world examples of healthcare practices building authority in emerging treatment categories– Live Q&A + actionable next steps
